Obama Issues Statement in Support of FISA ‘compromise’

While I pretty much expected it, I still felt a frisson of disappointment. I admit it. It’s not a piece of legislation I could ever support. Greenwald has it right, I think.

At TPM, Greg Sargent says tersely, ‘Obama’s statement on the FISA “compromise” is in, and suffice it to say that it won’t make opponents of the Dem cave-in very happy. He’s supporting it.’ He’s set out Obama’s statement. Sargent finds it a ‘downer.’
