Well, it’s been over a week since the election, and we have finally seen an indication of change brought on by Mr. Obama! What has he changed, you ask? His mind!
During the course of the primaries, Obama stated many times that the current regulations allowing for domestic warrant-less wiretapping need to be scratched because he believes that they are a violation of Constitutional rights. Obama even brought up this issue in the general election in order to distance himself even further from George W. Bush.
But yesterday, it was announced that Obama will keep the wiretapping program. This message was sent out without explanation. Could it be that Obama has changed his mind about the Constitution in the past week? Could it be that Obama has learned of new threats during his briefings from the CIA that scared him bad enough that he no longer cares if he thinks that the program violates the Constitution? Or could it be that Obama was deceitful about his views from day one? Only time will tell, as I am sure that we will see a lot more of this type of “change” in the weeks and months ahead. It appears to be the only type of “change we can believe in”.
