NOTE: It doesn't take A LEADER to get you to follow him in things that you already agreed with. It's takes a leader to LEAD not to follow the whims of his "base."
Excellent point John. His 'surrogates' have been telling us over and over again since the primaries that he's not as liberal as the pat buchanan's of the world have been trying to make him out to be. Any Dem. they run against is always 'the most liberal of them all'. Obama, Kerry, Gore, etc.
Leave it to a Repub. in Office to be upset that Obama didn't take money from the public. As for the FISA thing I think Obama is pandering regarding security but he still makes me want to go back and see his side of the reason he voted for it to understand his intentions.
