Perhaps Barack Obama is the only one to really understand why he would undercut his base and return to the politics of the empty, half-shell of a Democrat who is only interested in making his own fortune.

For those of us who thought the days of the weak, co-dependent Democratic politicians were coming to an end, Barack Obama has not only resurrected that rotting corpse, but he plans to parade around Washington D.C. with it for the next four years.

I hear some people saying that this was a politically savvy move. What is politically savvy about cheating on those to whom you have made a vow, and they in return?

Barack Obama just jumped in bed with a woman who cares nothing about him, leaving the one he went to the altar with in tears. Can it be forgiven? Yes. Do things ever return to the way they were before the infidelity? No.

So, all this support from the Democrats that care about the Constitution has just been thrown away. And for what? Approval of the Republicans that *might* cross-over and vote for him? The shameful behavior of Democrats seems to never end. They never fail to disappoint.

Even now, the Republicans are laughing at this once principled man, and taunting him like some Republican bully in the school-yard. From the Huffington Post:

In a press conference call this morning, John McCain surrogate Sam Brownback (R-KS) pointed at Barack Obama and essentially called him a spineless panderer — and welcomed it, saying he expected Obama to cave in on Iraq withdrawal next. McCain senior policy adviser Randy Scheunemann, with tremendous self-assurance, described Obama’s support for the FISA bill — a bill McCain also supports! — as an example of Obama’s supreme commitment to his own “political fortunes” above all else. And then, to underscore how weak they now consider Obama to be, the McCain campaign then issued an “In Case You Missed It” press release with a transcript highlighting these statements.

In other words: it’s not just MoveOn.org and others on the left who are questioning Obama’s principles over the FISA flap; even his opponents are pointing the finger and laughing at him for being such a panderer and accommodationist. And Obama hasn’t even voted on the bill yet!

Brownback said Obama’s spinelessness on the D.C. gun ban, campaign funding, and, most importantly, on FISA, meant he probably would eventually cave in on Iraq. Brownback even “set down a marker” — dared Obama — to concede on Iraq just like he’s said he’ll do on FISA.
