To use the basketball vernacular, this president, the man that I voted for just got dunked on. A Tomahawk dunk, a facial. All the glowing talk coming out of the white house about this bill is complete bullshit. And I will tell you why.
Lets keep it real. Lieberman is just mad as hell at us liberals because of the last 9 years of his miserable life. He is a megalomaniac and he may have gone over the edge when we started going after his wife. But why is everybody acting so surprised? I remember him practically fellating Dick Cheney during that "debate" in 2000. He was a piece of shit then and nothing has changed at least he is consistent. This latest mess was coming our way and in some respects we deserve it. If you let a man treat you the way Lieberman has done Obama and you reward him what do you expect?
No matter how destructive he is the reality is is that Lieberman has just been throwing a 7 month bitch fit. When he realized that we were launching a campaign against his wife for being an insurance industry shill while being a phony supporter of the Susan Komen Foundation that was the last straw for him. He WILL sink this bill and anything else he can stick his fingers in without a blink. Don't get me wrong, he deserves our disdain and so does his wife. But my beef is with Obama. He plays basketball, he knows what its like to get run over on the court. Its about RESPECT. The president is a ball player, he has to understand that. The people that support him and believe in him are disheartened because he is showing no heart. We could live with the ups and downs of policy, it's the fact that OUR GUY is getting trashed and all he does is back down.
What good is this scumbag Lieberman? Seriously what good is he to the caucus? He is garbage. As long as Obama allows him to stay on this level he will continue to be disrespected. As long as Obama is disrespected people that believe in Obama WILL LOSE RESPECT FOR HIM. Respect is the capital that an executive has to use and once that is gone. Well what do you have? Obama is being poorly advised with this "we are the world" shit. His advisers are making him look like a chump.
For the benefit of his supporters President Obama needs to get Lieberman out of the caucus as fast as possible.
