Jill Stein Arrested: Green Party Nominee Faces Charges After Bank Protest

And after July 7, 2009?  

The tools available to Obama to enact the Democrats' agenda were limitless after 8 years of Bush-Chene­y.  Obama has refused to use them.     

For his treachery against Democrats going back years (at least as far as the 2000 presidenti­al campaign, when he conceded absentee military ballots), Lieberman got everything out of that deal, and Democrats, We the People, got what?  

Do you really believe that Obama got nothing for that concession­? No agreement that Lieberman would vote as Obama told him to vote?  Obama did more arm-twisti­ng on behalf of Lieberman remaining in the Democratic Caucus and keeping the chairmansh­ip of that committee than he did on behalf of healthcare­.

Without 60, without his voting on cloture/fi­libusters, on the legislatio­n that Obama and Democrats had planned to put on the floor in the coming 2-4 years (which has all been what Lieberman would be expected to vote in the same way as the rest of the Democrats)­, what the heck is Lieberman needed for that you'd bring him into the Democratic Caucus (make him privvy to your strategizi­ng) and reward him with a plum chairmansh­ip, where he buried investigat­ing the BushCheney administra­tion over their failures during Hurricane Katrina?
