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...

Joe speaking at our convention would send the democrats off the deep end and it would be great payback for them getting Ron "Twinkle Toes" Reagan to speak at their last convention.
Barry knows he can bully Lieberman. That’s why some people are cut out to be politicians these days.
I like the old school politicians that would go out to an empty field or someone’s backyard to have a duel.
This situation definitely calls for a duel!
Obama does have an obstacle and that would be G_d and his promise to Israel
as told in Ezekiel......God warned that nations who brought shame to His people and His land, would in turn be shamed by Him. I am still trying to figure out why so many people that call themselves Christians vote for these liberals and I am sure you are confused as I about the Jews voting for liberals.
Then it would have been great for Lieberman to go on television and say that Obama was trying to intimidate him and threatening him, stuff like taking his committee chairmanship away if he spoke in favor of McCain.
Lieberman then could tell the nation that he will not be bullied by a bully and that Obama needs to control his anger.
Do you mean that my Senator actually goes to meet and greets? I have lived in CT for 18 years and I have never seen Lieberman.
Obama’s jive style and street smart will whip my Senator pretty quick into action. Lieberman will cave.
He will be asking for more than our spare change.
Well CAIR trains the F.B.I. so I'm sure he'll clear easily.
This is what BHO said to Lieberman..”Listen Moe, you are just one of four senators from the state of Kentucky and if you want any aid for your state to recover from Earthquake Katrina, you had better support my candidacy. Minister farakhan is right about you people.”
Why not? He was invading his space.
Lieberman isn’t going to put up with that. Does Obama think Lieberman is some kind of a lightweight, like himself?
“Something Ive noticed about leftists is that for all their talk about liberty, theyre really just totalitarians.”
AMEN, brother auranan! Preach it!
Leftists hate freedom, because it opens up the possibility that people might actually disagree with them.
There is no required security clearance for the CIC.
If you want to be tribalistic and wrong like Obama, knock yourself out.
What do kids know about politics or ‘Obamanomics’ ?
A teacher asked her 5th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the little ‘robot’ kids raised their hands except for Little Morgan.
The teacher asked Little Morgan why she has decided to be different.
Little Morgan says, ‘Because I’m not an Obama fan.’
The challenging teacher says, ‘Why aren’t you an Obama fan?’
Morgan says quietly, , , , , ‘Because I’m a conservative.’
The teacher asks her why she’s a conservative.
Little Morgan answered softly, ‘Well, , , , my mom’s a conservative and my dad’s a conservative, , , , , , , so I’m a conservative’.
Then the snide socialist NEA teacher asks, ‘If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?’
With a big smile, Little Morgan replies, “’That would make me an Obama fan” like you and the rest of these morons in this class.
The Dems are using his skin color to get a Marxist into the White House. It's a very simple and perhaps effective strategy. The funny thing is John McCain might be just the man to beat him. The very thing most FReepers don't like about him might keep Obama out of the White House. From there it's all about damage control rather than a total disaster.
Well, THERE OUGHT TO BE!
