Obama Supporters Oppose Telecom Immunity Stance

This just in, Obama is not perfect.  From the New York Times:

Senator Barack Obama’s decision to support legislation granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated with the Bush administration’s program of wiretapping without warrants has led to an intense backlash among some of his most ardent supporters.

Thousands of them are now using the same grass-roots organizing tools previously mastered by the Obama campaign to organize a protest against his decision.

As disappointing as this decision is — and it’s great that even Obama’s base is standing up against it — Telecom Immunity issue is not the only differentiating factor between Obama and McCain.
