WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Joe Lieberman has changed his tune on Barack Obama. After campaigning across the country for Republican John McCain in 2008 and attacking Obama as naive, untested and unwilling to take on powerful special interests, Lieberman now showers praise on the popular new Democratic president.
"He's shown real leadership," Lieberman told The Associated Press in an interview. "Bottom line: I think Barack Obama, president of the United States, is off to a very good start."

I always thought he was a stand up kind of guy who didn't pander to get elected. I'm rethinking that assessment.

""Bottom line: I think Barack Obama, president of the United States, is off to a very good start." So much for Lieberman's credibility.
Which ever way the wind blows, eh Joe? I knew it.

Lieberman has always been a liberal—one of the most liberal votings records in the Senate. Why should this come as a surprise?

this isn’t odd. The man has been behind the war in Iraq, but beyond that his credentials are firmly liberal. Lieberman, like McCain, is a process politician, always working the aisles, drumming up bipartisanship. It’s a club, after all...

I’ve always wondered what the dems have on Lieberman.
I thought Lieberman backed Israel. I guess that position is no longer popular what with what Hilary has been spouting and the earmarks going to HAMAS!

Joe Lieberman is GUMBY.....he’a ALWAYS been a WUSS Oportunist.

This shows just how far we have slid down the greased up slope of feel good politics.
Hell, even JFK wouldn't have associated with bottom feeders like Lie berman.

He sure is, when you believe in socialism, Joe. What will you say when the marxist state takes over? Go discuss it over drinks with McCain and Graham.

I saw through LIEberman long ago...he ran with Al Gwhore after all, so he lacks principles.
I can't believe so many bought into his BS back when Sean Vhannity was promoting him over the republican. He's a typical DUMocrat, our domestic enemy from within, and now a lapdog for Hussein.

Lieberman is as full of $#it as most of the rest of the Politicians.
To: autumnraine
Just one among many reasons why I never jumped on the Joe Lieberman bandwagon.

Quite a bizarre turnaround, but Lieberman was so enthusiastically applauding Obama’s speech, I'm not surprised. I never did trust him.
