MANIFESTO

With every progressive and his brother horrified at the stand Barack Obama has taken regarding the latest FISA bill, the "presumptive Democratic presidential nominee" (hereinafter to be referred to as the "PDPN" or "Predpren") has tried to calm the waters with a statement on his website regarding said bill. His rationale: It's better than a previous version of the bill. This better-than-a-poke-in-the-eye-with-a-sharp-stick reasoning is no way to create a stand on an issue as basic as this one, which has to do with no less than a subversion of the fourth amendment.

Josh Marshall has the timeline showing where and how the PDPN has vacillated.
