TPM BREAKING-Conversation (Obama Corners Lieberman on Sebate Floor!)
Talking Points ^ | 6.4.08 | Josh Marshal

Posted on 06/04/2008 1:46:32 PM PDT by tcrlaf

during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation. While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.

Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.

Still, Obama and Lieberman seemed to be trying to keep the back-and-forth congenial as they both patted each other on the back during and after the exchange.

Afterwards, Obama smiled and pointed up at reporters peering over the edge of the press gallery for a better glimpse of their interaction.

Obama loyalists were quick to express their frustration with Lieberman's decision and warned that if he continues to take a lead role in attacking Obama it could complicate his professional relationship with the Caucus.

Osama Hussein Obama is the Radical Muslim Messiah who wishes to rule America. His goal in life is to hand the ruins of America to his Muslim brothers.

They've already thrown Joe out of their party. Pretty empty threat IMHO.

Joe knows this putz is a supporter of Muslims who want Israel destroyed and pals around with anti-Semites. And many other Jews know it too.

Lieberman probably turned B Hussein Obama down for VP. This is as far across the aisle as Obama will reach.

donaldo - Do you have any source on the last line where you say Boma was placed on the Harvard law review because some liberals thought it was neat? I assumed that was one valid accomplishment he had on his resume. I heard of his Columbia undergrad but then saw where he actually started at Occidental and transfered to Columbia. I think he was magna cum laude at Harvard law. I would appreciate any cites for the gift of law review, unless you are just assuming. Thanks.

“McCain’s camp has also deployed Joe Lieberman to hold a conference call criticizing Obama on the same issues right after the Democratic nominee speaks to AIPAC. “

The correct title is “BabyJesusObama” Some can refuse to accept the “Messiah” due to free will....but who can stand against the BabyJesusObama??

I think Obama is very smart and needed no racial affirmative action to get where he is. However, he has been rewarded throughout his academic career for taking leftist positions, and the left sees this "clean young black man" as the perfect vehicle to complete its seizure of power in this country. They will play on white guilt, sympathy, and reluctance to seem "racist" if they oppose him.

Lieberman is an INDEPENDENT.

Obama is probably skeered that Joseph Lieberman (Independent, shunned and targeted by the DNC) is considering teaming up as McCain’s running mate.

A move that would shore up McCain’s base with the liberals.

And that wouldn’t please conservatives but wouldn’t come as a shocking surprise either.

Actually, Lieberman stabbed Obama in the back.

Good for Lieberman.  Lieberman should tell the Muslim militant to shove it.

Even if Lieberman does not get the VP nod or even make the list, he probably could still make a speech at the GOP Convention.

What Republican will the DNC have speak? < crickets >
