Look, I normally do a real serious amount of work on my diaries and I try like the Dickens to support and maintain them, but this one sadly I can't. Too late in the evening, and I'm too tired. But I want you to come with me anyway.
Okay people, before you all bust a gut, I want you to read what Obama wrote about the FISA law yesterday.
This is the exact bullet quote you must take away from this.
"I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses."
Look people, before you throw him under the bus, or accuse him of doing the same, did anyone read this little throw-away?
The bill has to be reconciled- before this becomes law, they've got to stitch together the house and the Senate's versions of this, and that means debate, compromise, and more voting. So what if he does, and I know this is a stretch, EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS HE'LL DO?
Will you still hate him for this?
He just might be smarter than all of us combined...
