Re: Joe Lieberman about to have to pay the piper

Well, it's official. Lieberman is welcomed back into the fold and gave kudos to Obama for being instrumental in making it all go away. He keeps his major chair and gets a slap on the wrist by giving up some up some minor stuff.

You gotta hand it to Lieberman, the guy comes across as a kind of rube but he's got brass ones and more lives than a reincarnated cat.

I am grateful for Obama using his "Head of the Democrat Party" influence to make sure that his promise to change the petty politics of the past would be kept. It would have been the absolute wrong move to take revenge against JL in light of Obama's "Change We Can Believe In" mantra throughout the campaign.

He has a long way to go with me, but BO wins my praise on this one. Making Lieberman "pay the piper" would've been a stupid move.

DB,
Obama had no choice, even if he didn't want to keep Lieberman and I don't think he did. The media would have been all over it. So, no, I'm not impressed.

Re: Joe Lieberman about to have to pay the piper

I wonder if it really just has something to do with that "magic" unstoppable filibuster busting Senate Majority number???????

Please excuse my cynicism...........

PO, r u kidding? The media all over BO for a gaffe or mistake or a broken promise? No, they are too drunk on the Obama Wine, it would've only been a story in the alternate media. The main-stream guys are still too obsessed with Sarah Palin: how much she spends on cosmetics per year, did she wear a padded bra during the beauty contest she was runner up in, and whether or not her toots smell.

Not kidding. I read an article that spoke about - now that Obama has won, watch how quick that same media will turn on him.

I've run across many articles written that have been weighing in on what they think he might do - keep his promises or not. I don't think the media is loyal to anyone other than who they are and what they want. They wanted Obama and now they want him to do what he promises. If he doesn't, they will talk about it.
