Ah yes, the FISA bill …

Joey asked me last night how I felt about Obama’s vote. I don’t honestly know. Sure, I’m disappointed. But I also believe that he knows what he’s doing, and that his decision was probably a tortuous one. I honestly can’t help but feel that there are bigger fish to fry. So it doesn’t worry me. What makes me feel good is that throughout this whole situation he has not disengaged himself from criticism; has in fact welcomed it and addressed people’s gripes directly. I’m not an Obama supporter because I agree with him 100% about every little thing. I’m an Obama supporter because I believe that he has what it takes to get us to move ourselves forward. He’s already shown that. And what’s more, all through the primaries there were people second-guessing and criticizing his every move. Yet he won the primaries.

So no, I don’t agree with his vote. But yes, I stil believe the man knows what he’s doing.

On the other hand, McCain didn’t even bother to show up.
