Jake Barlow at The Low Bar provides the quotes and context demonstrating Obama’s 180 degree aboutface on FISA.

“As someone who volunteered to the campaign many, many hours and money I could ill afford to give up, all because I trusted that Barack Obama was the one true candidate who was different from all the rest, it is heartbreaking to see that he is indeed just like all the rest. The only change I see coming from Barack Obama now is a change in his attitude towards those of us who worked so hard to help him win the Democratic nomination. It is painfully clear to me that we were used up and are now being hung out to dry.”

I’m also unhappy with Obama’s confused FISA stance. My preference is that he stick with Dodd and Feingold on this one. And, I’m not the only one. The number one group on Obama’s site is now people who oppose his new stance on FISA.

Here’s an earlier Re/Creating Tampa post about Florida Reps who switched their vote on FISA.
