Or will he be just another Bill Clinton?&#8221; Many progressives who supported Barack Obama against Hilary Clinton during the Democratic primary elections, are disappointed by several recent moves made by the Illinois senator after he clinched the nomination. Among those are a fervently pro-Israel speech made to the Israeli lobby group, AIPAC, a Bill-Cosby-like Father&#8217;s Day speech aimed at failing black fathers, a rejection of public campaign financing, and his most recent announced intention to vote for the FISA bill which will legalize much of George Bush&#8217;s illegal wiretapping policies.
