That's a Peanuts reference. Joe Lieberman was not supported by Barack Obama in his reelection bid for the Senate. Like so many others, Obama got baheind Ned Lamont. Lieberman manged to win as an Independent and is taking his shots at Obama. Lieberman got on a conference call with reporters and blasted Obama's Israel Policy. Most importantly, Lieberman admitted he didn't read, see or hear Obama's speech. He was smart enough not to criticize the speech exactly, but the whole idea of talking to Iran while the government there still supports the idea of wiping Israel off the map. Again, more fear and smear- Republican style. Lieberman has crossed the line. He caucused with the Democrats, but has made the decision early to actively campaign for McCain.
Lieberman has that right to support McCain, but not in this fashion. To make the point, Lieberman supposedly authored an email fund-raising for McCain, calling his old party the "Democrat Party". That has been an intentional Republican smear for some time- referring to the Democrtic Party as the Democrat Party. I expect such grammatical slips and smears from George Nucular Bush, but not a former member of the party. For Lieberman to go so far, says that in January, Lieberman might just loose his Committee positions with the Democratic Caucus- please say its so Harry!
One of the knocks on Obama early on was he was soft. He couldn't deliver a shot. Well, Thursday, Obama pulled Lieberman off to the side of the Senate, and had words with him. We don't know what got said, but I guess we'll see how Lieberman behaves here on out.
