Just Desserts: Obama's Karmic Bite in the Behind

[davidwparker]

The subject line says it all. But, let me connect the dots.

"I know that some in the party have differences with Joe," Senator Obama said, all but silencing the crowd. "I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's the elephant in the room. And Joe and I don't agree on everything. But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America."

Then, with applause beginning to build, he finished the thought: "I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate."

Oh, if irony could be dessert, I would make it http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2009/10/dessert_wines">pear tarte tatin served with a late-harvest Dolce.

How much better it would have been for us to have the Democratic Party rally around the Democratic Party nominee, Ned Lamont. But no. It rallied behind Lieberman, who now is the thorn in their sides.

Especially, Obama's side.

If the expression Keep your friends close and your enemies closer has merit, Obama should move Lieberman into the White House, down the hall from him and Michelle. And, with the Democratic leadership incapable of party discipline (the wuss factor), Obama's only term is going to be fascinating to watch. :popcorn:

I was about to call this tragic, rather than fascinating, but the tragedy is when one realizes that all the hope of a new direction, which the American people were expecting, will not occur. Obama had a mandate for change, but chose the status quo and to continue Bush's mistakes rather than give us the change we could believe in. As the first year of Obama's term comes to a close and we can see how he will govern, the tragedy is the realization that the hope monger himself, who worked so hard to gain the office, threw it all away.

1. "who now is the thorn in their sides. Especially, Obama's side. "

Not according to Obama, he still loves the guy.

2. Just one quibble

Lamont wasn't the nominee at that time, that happened during the primary.

When Lamont won the primary, Obama came out in support of Lamont.

3. The real karmic irony is that

those that got Obama elected are paying real attention now. And they will be his downfall in the end if he doesn't paying attention to us. Who does he think got him elected? All the nuts that think he was born in Kenya? Those on the other side of the aisle that advocate against everything he does?

Oh yes, the independents. Well they are having their health care fucked along with us liberal nutjobs.
