LIEBERMAN BARACKED INTO CORNER
NY Post ^ | June 6, 2008 | GEOFF EARLE

WASHINGTON - An emboldened Barack Obama browbeat Sen. Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor after the self-proclaimed "Independent Democrat" slammed the candidate on behalf of Republican John McCain.

Flexing his new power as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Obama greeted Lieberman, a prominent McCain backer, on the Senate floor Wednesday - then promptly led him by the hand to a back corner to give him a talking-to.

"He had him pinned against the wall," said one Senate aide who saw the tete-a-tete...

The DemocRATik Party is Barack’s “crib” now. Joe might want to retire and “spend more time with his family.” The mean streets of Congress are about to get a lot meaner.

If Obama was truly chastising Lieberman, he can kiss the Jewish vote goodbye. ;-)

Yep. He’s a swaggering bully now. God help us if this egomaniac wins.

Barack Hussein Obama is an arrogant selfish brat who happens to be Black, and he uses his skin color to get away with his arrogance.

B. Hussein is turning out to be as toxic a character as the Haughty John Kerry. It seems the Democrats can only come up with these snobs who look down their noses at “typical” Americans.

I don’t know what he’s got to be arrogant about except maybe being really good at reading a teleprompter. He’s where he is because someone important - with a ton of money - chose to foist him on us.

In addition to being unqualified to be president he is turning into a very unlikable person.

After reading some stories today, I agree with you, somebody's really making him out to look like a arrogant, bullying, asswipe!

This makes even Hillary start to seem, 'a little throw up in my mouth' likeable!

the fact is he is a punk who thinks his backers at the agency have given him the ability to be president, and he is so unqualified it is amazing.....and those who follow him are fools...

You are correct Sir! Lieberman should have told the crackpot Messiah to ram it, cram it, jamb it and slam it. Has our press ever been more abjectly craven toward a candidate? Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann have already come to blows over who gets to perform his ablutions. They make me sick. What a bunch of servile, obsequious assholes. A true cult of the personality in the making.

I think people should lay off these “hood thug” comments. I really don’t think Obama comes across that way. He comes off like the Harvard trained lawyer he is.

I've never heard any folks I know from Harvard talking about "whompin" members of Congress with a stick if they don't support his health care bill like Barack did.

Did he ask him for a cigarette or change?

Uh, that's HOPE and Change.

If Lieberman does speak at the Convention then the Dems can count on at least splitting the Jewish vote. I know Joe is a McCain supporter but being given the honor of speaking at the Convention after what the Democratic party did to him in 2006, that could sway some of the not so hard core who might be worried about Israel crowd!

Fauxbama has affected street talk to sound black.

I agree with you, CG. It’s frustrating reading some of these comments lately because no matter what we say we are all going to be accused of being racists. Then people make comments like this, and it just makes it worse!

AC: There is no need to stoop to his level. It’s only playing right into Obama and the Dem’s hands when one does...

Neither have I. He doesn't come across as someone that is articulate unless he is reading from a teleprompter.

[It’s obvious his mother never taught him to respect his elders either. If she had, he wouldn’t have been so quick to throw his grandmother under the bus...along with others. He’s an arrogant little upstart.]

Right on.

lol

Obama's a thug. He's like the charming little brother or cousin who can stab in you in your sleep and you aunts and moms will protect him and attack you.

And he knows it.

Maybe he is intimidating Lieberman as practice for what he is going to do to the rest of us Jews if — G-d forbid — he becomes President.

So, my Venezuelan Sefardic friend polled her family in Florida and every single last one of them is voting for McCain.

How's it going in the Ashkenazic neck of the woods?
