Obama is proving to be a run-of-the-mill politician

President Obama is fading fast on principles and choosing political expediency with an eye to 2012 and an 8-year presidency.

But we should have seen it coming with his earlier reversal on FISA http://blog.washingtonpost.com/44/2008/06/20/obama_supports_fisa_legislatio.html

Now with the reversals on the detainee photos (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/13/white-house-wants-a-delay-in-the-release-of-detainee-photos/) and detainee justice (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/us/politics/15gitmo.html) ...

Progressives still have something to hope for in Supreme Court appointees ...

But the FISA, photos, and justice reversals pierce our heart as a nation.

It's simple, pursue truth ... and be honest in our pursuit.
