Kabuki? Or Real Change?

.
Unity is the mantra of the Barack Obama campaign.

But the upcoming Senate debate on FISA/telecom immunity [just passed by the House] is the first real test of Barack Obama's unity leadership. He says he'll work to strip telecom immunity from the bill. For the man who would be our next president, more is expected than "work."

A two-step process.

Immunity for the telecoms cannot be part of the bill that goes to the Deciderer. First, it must be stripped from the Senate version. And it cannot, must not, be restored in conference.

Leadership matters. Accountability matters. We look forward to more of both. And that's no small change.
