Joe Leiberman: Obama Is A "Talker" That Has Not Always “Put The Country First”

"Independent Democrat" Senator Joe Lieberman had this to say: “In my opinion, the choice could not be more clear: between one candidate, John McCain, who’s had experience, been tested in war and tried in peace, another candidate who has not. Between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not. Between one candidate who’s a talker, and the other candidate who’s the leader America needs as our next candidate.’’

How long will Lieberman be able to dissent from his party before Harry Reid removes him from his Senate committee chairmanship positions? Will there be eventual retaliation against Lieberman or do they not want to disturb the status quo in which Lieberman caucases with the Senate Democrats and allows them to mantain a majority in the Senate?

In other news concerning the Senator according to his official website, Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have introduced a resolution recognizing the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq and expressing gratitude to the members of the United States Armed Forces who made that success possible. The resolution calls on the Senate to acknowledge “the success of the troop surge in Iraq and its strategic significance in advancing the vital national interests of the United States in Iraq, the Middle East, and the world, in particular as a strategic victory in a central front of the war on terrorism.”

This is what Liebs had to say on this one: “It is time for all of us in Washington to put aside our partisan blinders and recognize the strategic success the surge has achieved, so that we can secure its gains and apply its lessons to the other front of the war on terror, the war in Afghanistan. Our responsibility is to build upon the success that has been achieved by acknowledging and advancing the strategy that is now helping to bring home our troops with honor.”
