When Pres. George W. Bush and Sen. Barack Obama BOTH agreed on unconstitutional amendments to the foreign intelligence surveillance act (FISA) last week, it raised questions about Obama's consistency on civil liberties and about how to best fight this assault on the Fourth Amendment and the right to privacy. I try to answer these questions with some clips from a Barack Obama news conference and from spokespeople for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

You can see the full July 1, 2008, Barack Obama news conference from which I took a short clip for my video at http://cbs2chicago.com/video/?id=46212@wbbm.dayport.com

You can see ACLU Legislative Counsel Michelle Richardson's full June 21, 2008, appearance on C-SPAN's Washington Journal at http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=pr oduct_video_info&products_id=205571-2

This is a response to idiotwind75 a McCain supporter that argues Barack Obama is the biggest flip flop.lol. He also argues that it is okay for Hillary Clinton and John McCain to be politically expedient. It sounds like a double standard to me.
