To the Editor:
Mr. Brooks asserts that president Obama has been consistent, and that it's his critics who fail to see it. Perhaps that point's too subtle for me. When candidate Obama announced that he "opposes any form of immunity" for the telecom companies who conducted illegal wiretaps in violation of the FISA statute, I cheered. When senator Obama voted six months later for immunity for these telecom companies, I looked for an explanation. President Obama's waffling is not an artifact of my partisan eye-wear. He needs to get going on the tangible promises he made as a candidate.
