- An interesting explanation of Obama's FISA vote:
quote:
Because Obama voted for the FISA bill, it suddenly becomes a win-win.
WTF am I talking about? Here we go.
Win #1: If any of the above happens (and at least one will), he can prove a point: that Bush - with the tool he desperately wanted - still couldn't stop it. It will obviously need to be retooled, or even blown up and rewritten from scratch under President Obama.
But here's the bigger take-away, which is Win #2: John McCain didn't even vote.
With me now? With the scary specter of al Qaeda hanging over America, Mr. Strong On National Security wouldn't even cast a vote on such a pivotal bill. Suddenly, Obama has his ace in the hole. He voted to protect America while McCain pulled a no-show.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there's your dream campaign ad - signed, sealed, delivered, and ready for the October Surprise.
