And about Lieberman.
Obama was the one who insisted that Lieberman be allowed to caucus with Democrats.
Obama was the one who let Lieberman keep the chairmanship of the Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security Committee. That's the committee that whitewashed the Bush administration's failure during Hurricane Katrina. Obama rubberstamped that committee's not investigating Bush once Democrats took over control of government.
During the healthcare reform debate, Obama never once pressured Lieberman for threatening to filibuster any legislation that had a public option in it. Obama never pressured Ben Nelson (or Blanche Lincoln, or any Blue Dog), either.
Obama DID unleash the attack dogs to go after Howard Dean when Dean said it was a lousy bill. Dean was then forced to get back into line. Obama did go after Kucinich for threatening to vote no on the healthcare bill, and we all know how that ended.
Anyone who still thinks Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic party is on the People's side is an id-jit, & k!IIing us all with their continued loyalty to politicians who are all working for the side of corporations.
