Obama, telecoms and the Beltway system

Why is the Democratic nominee intervening in a Democratic primary to support one of the worst pro-war, Bush-enabling Blue Dogs against a highly credible, progressive challenger?

    Obama - we're watching you

    Supporting Barrow is not the worst thing in the world but there's nothing good about it. I voted for Obama over Hillary but only because I was voting against Hillary because of her refusal to even say the right thing about Iraq. But I'm not real enthusiastic about Obama. I want to see the beef and so far I haven't seen it. I wouldn't care as much about Obama helping Barrow if he had taken a strong line publicly about FISA but he hasn't done that either.

    Great war crimes were committed in this country by our highest leaders. There is a crime scene in Iraq with a million dead bodies and another in the U.S. with 4000 bodies and tens of thousands maimed. If I don't hear people like Obama speaking in a way that comports with that reality, then it just means we're still stuck in the brainwash zone.

    I want out.
