Bush’s spying infrastructure, probably including parts of the infrastructure that have been caught spying on innocent Americans – even eavesdropping on husbands and wives in military families, listening in as they have phone sex.
Here’s an example, taken from a Wall Street Journal article on the subject, of the kind of justification that Obama supporters are offering for this betrayal of Obama’s promise to uphold the Constitution:
‘He’s going to take a very centrist approach to these issues,’ said Roger Cressey, a former counterterrorism official in the Clinton and Bush administrations. ‘Whenever an administration swings too far on the spectrum left or right, we end up getting ourselves in big trouble.’

Now really, no one figured that Obama would change the FISA Amendments Act which we need! I know there was many getting their hopes up for a new plan but people there will be many more plans thats going to stay just about the way they are now. Your disapointment will wear off sooner or later…Keep watching the Eastern sky and you might see alittle change when obama comes riding in November, but don’t look for to much of a change!
Do you have any opinions….left or right , lets hear them!
