Olbermann, Obama & FISA

Posted on 06/27/2008 at 8:11 am by Bob Cesca

Olbermann writing for DailyKos:

Thus, as I phrased it on the air tonight, obviously Obama kicked the left in the teeth by supporting the bill. But anybody who got as hot about this as I did would prefer to see a President Obama prosecuting the telecoms criminally, instead of seeing a Senator Obama engender more “soft on terror” crap by casting a token vote in favor of civil litigation that isn’t going to pass since so many other Democrats caved anyway.

Yep. That’s exactly right.

UPDATE: Greenwald responds to Olbermann. The times they are a’changing. I’ll be writing more about the changing blog/commentary dynamics soon.

    Damn, and I thought this was starting to calm down.

    I don’t get it. Does Greenwald prefer that Obama take a stance on FISA that would increase McCain’s chances of being elected? Because that’s certainly what would happen if he railed against FISA.I agree with Keith. I would rather see President Obama in a position to go after these dirtbags by siccing his very own AG on them in the criminal courts. Civil suits do nothing but transfer wealth. I want to see them locked up.
