With this vote, Obama seems to support greater government accountability.

I'm sorry but you are wrong. The so-called protections in the recent legislation are a joke. Frankly FISA itself was pretty much a joke in that something like 5 warrants were denied in 30+ years. This current legislation is so bad it made people fight to the end just to keep that old lame level of protection. Don't drink the Washington and MSM kool-aid. It is time to accept that there are now effectively no protections or limits to government power in this area.

Unless you think Obama is an idiot, he did not vote for accountability. Depending on your point of view he either made a smart political calculation or cynically pissed on your rights during his ride to the White House.
