Silence so far ...

I keep reading the following suggestion, various places, round about:

If Senator Obama truly wanted to prove himself as a leader and strongly rebuke the past 8 years of privacy abuse and lawlessness, he would use his standing as presumptive nominee to rally Democrats (and some honest Republicans) to propose a new bill that closes any real “intelligence gaps,” but demands that the telecoms defend their conduct in a court of law to determine whether or not they broke the law. That shouldn’t be a controversial proposition. The telecoms can’t break the law just because the President told them they could.

Though I think Obama will be better than McCain, I see nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, that indicates that Obama will not be a corporate-control-of-America president.

I think Democrats who don't want McCain, or any current Republican, near the White House will just finally keep quiet. So much for fighting for a better world ...
