That's what I said

In a move which only makes me inch closer to dropping everything and volunteering for his presidential campaign when he eventually decides to run, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has come out against both Samuel Alito and Sen. John Kerry's (D-Mass.) proposed filibuster:

"We need to recognize, because Judge Alito will be confirmed, that, if we're going to oppose a nominee that we've got to persuade the American people that, in fact, their values are at stake," Obama said.

"There is an over-reliance on the part of Democrats for procedural maneuvers," he told ABC's "This Week."

Obama's solution to the Alito problem? Win some freakin' elections.

Amen to that.
