What Really Happened Between Obama And Lieberman

Last week, the day after Barack Obama clinched the number of delegates needed for the nomination, he showed Joe Lieberman who was boss. Leading the "Independent Democrat" by the hand, Senator Obama scolded Joseph on the Senate floor, but for what? Reporters watched with glee but couldn't write much on their pads, only speculating that it had something to do with their appearances at the AIPAC meeting earlier that day. Now we know exactly what went on.

From Newsweek:

In a brief but animated Senate floor confrontation last week, according to a campaign aide who asked for anonymity when talking about private discussions, Obama told Lieberman he was surprised by Lieberman's personal attacks and his half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim. (The aide says Lieberman was "strangely muted" during the exchange; a Lieberman spokesman says the chat was "private and friendly.") McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker says Lieberman "played a key role in reaching out to the Jewish community in the primary … and you can expect that will continue."

Joe Lieberman is certainly reaching all right, when it comes to telling the truth. His antics have shown he is certainly no Democrat and his talk of bi-partisanship is a sham. He should be cast aside by the Senate leadership and be stripped of committee assignment power. All Lieberman has done this primary season is smear, lie and deceive the American public on John McCain's behalf and continues to do so now.
