Can there be any doubt that Lieberman wants Obama to fail?
It seems pretty obvious to me that his loyalties haven't changed one bit since the election.

Why don't our 'leaders' in Congress get this?

Do they just not care?

5. There is nothing funny about this situation.
I'm seriously starting to wonder if Obama isn't being blackmailed or threatened in some way.

7. If Lieberman gets his way,
and this whole thing blows up in the Democrats' faces, I imagine he's counting on being able to run and WIN as a Republican in 2012.

8. Are you kidding? There's a pretty good chance that Lieberman is helping Obama succeed
You just have to adjust your idea of what this administration's goals actually are.

12. I don't believe that for a minute.
There's no way that Obama is happy about this state of affairs.

13. It's harder for me to believe that Obama actually is this incompetent.

14. This is why I suspect blackmail

15. Occam's Razor.
What's more likely: a nefarious conspiracy to blackmail the President of the United States? Or a Democrat who caves in to the right wing?

20. Except Obama is seriously damaging himself politically
by caving in to the right wing. He certainly has to realize this, and yet he does it anyway.

There is some part of this that we, the public, are not privy to.

17. The only thing that's clear to me about Lieberman


is at this point in his career, Joe's in it for Joe and that's it...

19. I think Lieberman considers Obama collateral damage to taking down the point & click world...
of Lamont, Kos, Firedog, Lib/Pro groups even DU and others he developed this-what-is-seen-as irrational rage against for having the audacity to mobilize their conscience contrary to the family name of Lieberman - Lieberman seems to think people with access to their conscience are a liability to his handlers, donor base, and wife's lobbying clients - especially in that his conscience, in response, has come too short and so?

It's ka-rayzzie time for Joe Liebernman, and we're made to observe this dissolving spectacle
