we can agree on this.
His behavior has been reprehensible. God Damn....the man was a vp candidate of the democratic party. Has he no sense of loyalty? CA PAIGNING ACTIVELY for McCain??
BUt, here ye hear ye.....
Barack Obama is right.
He is not letting emotion make his decisions.
thepolitically shrewed move is to keep Lieberman close. NOT alienate him.
Now he is indebted to Barack....he will have a VERY HARD time opposing him on anyting....it basically ends the issue rather than ignite a war republicans can take advantage of in the news media over lieberman being kicked out.....
Look, progressives have wanted somone in power represnting their interests for a long time.
how come it hasnt happenned??
Because, we let our emotions get the best of us.
we need to become better politicians.
Obama is right.
Lieberman, should be held close.
McCain, perhaps, even closer....
this is the way to deal with your political enemies.
Give it time. and take a deep breath, and we will realize that these old geezers Reid and Company have done the right thing.
