Sen. Obama FISA vote justified?

*“So Democrats have turned to Steve Farber. He's using the resources of his big K Street law and lobbying factory to help raise $40 million for the Democratic National Convention. Half a dozen of his clients have signed up, including AT&T, Comcast, Western Union and Google.”

With these few sentences from a Bill Moyer on-line report, I have found my justification for Sen. Obama voting for the FISA bill. From the writing of Mr. Moyer, I deuced Sen. Obama took the heat of the public instead of jeopardizing funds for the upcoming National Convention in Denver. I remember reading the Democratic Party in Denver contemplated canceling some events due to a lack of funding.

So it seems the Telecom lobbyist have come up with the money and had Sen. Obama voted against their immunity, he would have, in effect, bitten the hand that feeds him and his fellow congressmen. This rationale satisfies me. Joy.
As always,
