What's really shown by Obama's support of the compromise FSA bill is that, one, he has the maturity and courage to support a reasonable compromise that clears up many issues regarding government intelligence surveillance, limits Presidential power, and increases oversight by the courts and Congress, and two, he's not as far left as Ralph Nader.

Honestly I think it enhances Obama's position to show that he's a man of integrity who'll vote for what he believes in, even if some of his supporters disagree with him on that one specific issue.

And I'm sure the Republicans will hasten to remind us that his vote for FISA notwithstanding, he's still one of the most liberal Senators in Congress! (thank goodness!)
