Lieberman: I pledge to ‘do everything’ in my power to help Obama be a great president.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), who was a fierce advocate of John McCain’s presidential run, exclaimed yesterday, “This is truly a great day for our blessed nation!” He said that he was “deeply moved and inspired by President Obama’s eloquent and stirring address,” adding he would “do everything” in his power to help Obama be one of the nation’s “greatest and most successful presidents.”

“You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, Joe
January 21st, 2009 at 9:47 amHey, Joe. Judging from your performance over the past decade, I think President Obama would be much better off if you didn’t go out of your way to help him.
Save yourself some time and spend it, instead, on your own retirement-planning. That day is soon approaching.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:50 amI think it’s well within your power to resign immediately and fade into oblivion, Mr. Joe “Knesset” LIEberman.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:50 amThen resign.
January 21st, 2009 at 9:54 amApologize for being two-faced Joe, there’s a start…
January 21st, 2009 at 9:55 amwhatta schmuck.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:00 amGo to hell, Joe. Go straight to hell. If there is any way to sideline you in the Senate, be sure that we’re gonna do it.
Your political life is going to be cut short, man. Can’t wait to see you lose your seat when you have to run again.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:07 amSmith and Wesson inserted in mouth?
January 21st, 2009 at 10:07 amYeah, Joe’s resignation would be the most effective thing he could do that’s “in his power” to do. Assuming he’s not planning on immediately resigning, it’s just another lie.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:11 amJoe, you’re not needed. You played the wrong hand. Head to Dallas and hang with your pal “W” and enjoy your after life together.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:12 amWell sure, can’t wait for Joe to honor that… just like the pledge to investigate the DHS/FEMA handling of Katrina.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:12 amPlease, Joe, don’t help. We saw what happened to the last guy you helped.
Besides, you might be needed in 2012 to help another Republican run against Obama.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:16 amMaybe the IDF would let you into Gaza as a war correspondent, Joe.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:16 amshut up, joe.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:16 amHonestly, who cares?
PEACE
January 21st, 2009 at 10:18 amWhat a guy! He betrayed the Dems, but now he wants to play nice. I once had respect for the man, but when he treated Obama as he did, I lost it.
Obama has class, he gave a dinner honoring McCain, I wonder what McCain would have done if he won.
Joe, you missed the boat! It launched on November 4th. It is catch up time for you if you can pull it off.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:19 amCan’t add a thing except we’re on to something Hang up those spurs cowboy
January 21st, 2009 at 10:19 amLieberman: I pledge to ‘do everything’ in my power to help Obama be a great president.»
– - Lieberman is a man with no more clear direction than a wind sock in a tornado.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:20 amMaverick up & head out to the Range to do some grazing, Joe.
Remember, it’s better to eat grass than to eat shit…
January 21st, 2009 at 10:20 amLieberman: “…adding he would “do everything” in his power to help Obama be one of the nation’s “greatest and most successful presidents.””
That’s not in your job description, Joe… and besides, your help didn’t do much for the last president you helped out, #43…
January 21st, 2009 at 10:29 amThis guy needs prosecuting.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:36 amPlease don’t. Really. You did one heck of a job for Al Gore as his running mate and an even better job for John McCain this last campaign. Yours is the kind of help one wishes on ones enemies.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:42 amWhat a schmuck!
Joe’s hubris knows no bounds. What exactly is in his “power” that will help Obama be a great president. Just don’t get in his way Joe! That’s all he needs from you.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:43 amIs Lieberman insane? Hes gonna help this dangerous marxist president?
January 21st, 2009 at 10:44 am“I’ve always been a Yanke… — uhhh, &;lt*coff-coff*> Red Sox — fan….”
Cheers,
January 21st, 2009 at 10:48 amFickle Joe Lieberman – always holding his thumb up in the air, chcking the wind direction. Sorry, Joe, you have destroyed your credibility – we will take your votes when you vote with Dems, but we will not forget your traitorous words and acts.
January 21st, 2009 at 10:49 amTry again (damn that “no preview”/”no delete” to hell):
“I’ve always been a Yanke… — uhhh, <*coff-coff*> Red Sox — fan….”
Cheers,
January 21st, 2009 at 10:50 amDear Joe,
No thanks.
Sincerely,
America
January 21st, 2009 at 10:54 amThat’s not going to make you very popular at those GOP cocktail parties Joe.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:01 amIt’s called Joementum!
January 21st, 2009 at 11:02 amWell hopefully that “power” will be zilch. Therefore everything and/or anything ole joe does will be insignificant.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:08 amDear Joe,
With the many crises the country is facing home and abroad, your first order of business should be to pen legislation calling for congress “to recognize how totally awesome Barack Obama’s first 100 days will be.”
This will allow you to continue your ass licking campaign, but won’t test the limits of your senatorial abilities.
Good Luck Sir.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:14 amHe doesn’t need your help Joe, just go away.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:26 amI’d believe this if Loserman had said int before November 4, 2008. Now its simply the utterings of a drooling old fool who needs to be excommunicated from his Senate seat.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:47 amCan someone tell Loserman that he is no longer relevant.
January 21st, 2009 at 11:48 amHe is a non entity who is not needed here.
He should go to Israel and help them kill innocent babies….because …….well you know because
“I want Democrats to be back in the majority in Washington and elect a Democratic president in 2008.” — Joe Lieberman, 7/7/06

January 21st, 2009 at 12:02 pmFrom what I know of Lieberman’s recent history, I’m suspicious. I hope I’m wrong – but I’m still suspicious.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:27 pmI don’t usually advocate tuning out anyone -I do believe in the “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” adage- but, for the love of your favorite deity, can we *please* stop blogging about Lieberman?
This is one man who seriously need tuning out.
Pretty please?
With sugar on top?
January 21st, 2009 at 12:51 pmJoe couldn’t get elected as a dogcatcher in Connecticut—he is absolutely despised by 90% of the state. He knows that the political sands have shifted and now he wants to be included—after making the choice to be an “independent”.
Joe, enjoy your exile as an independent, because when your term is up pal, you’re going to be out on your arse.
January 21st, 2009 at 1:14 pmOh Lieberman… climb the Capitol Hill’s cupola and JUMP!
January 21st, 2009 at 1:42 pmLieberman will do best if he just SITS DOWN AND SHUTS UP!
January 21st, 2009 at 1:55 pmTo quote Failin’ Palin…”Say it ain’t so, Joe,” Does anyone, anywhere, give a flyin’ frick at a rollin’ donut what this simpering windsock has to say? He’s a non-entity to Obama and a useless tool to shrub. Go away, Droopy!!
