Barack Obama: "Nobody does it better than Joe Lieberman."

[DemKR]

How Does Barack Obama Feel about his "mentor's" endorsement of John McCain for President?

1. I'm not sure that Hillary has any room to throw stones.

She endorsed Lieberman in that Senate race too.

[DemKR]

3. She didn't go to CT and say Nobody did it better, and chastised those against him, DID SHE? NO

[Crunchy Frog]

7. You know, I didn't track it that closely.

There are no angels among those that endorsed Lieberman in that race, and I certainly don't excuse Obama for it, but I would not condemn him for it while wearing a Hillary avatar.

At any rate, if I can forgive Al Gore for actually picking him as a running mate, then I can also forgive both Obama and Hillary for endorsing him in the CT Senate primary.

8. Agent Bill was taking care of that...

17. No, that was Bill's job.

Next?

9. Uhm.

No she didn't.

She endorsed Lieberman in the primary race only.

When Lieberman lost to Lamont, she rightly supported the Democratic candidate.

11. So did Barack Obama.

Most Dems supported their fellow Dem senator and then supported the Dem nominee.

Here's the post from Ned Lamont's blog about Obama's support:

12. exactly

It's pretty much SP for them both to have supported the incumbent Democrat in the primary.

And they both supported Lamont when he won the primary.

Nothing to see here.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. I never said otherwise.

Obama also endorsed Lieberman in the primary only. Both Hillary and Obama supported Lamont in the actual election. I still maintain that it's hypocritical to condemn one while sporting the avatar of the other.

[maddiejoan]

14. I've been made aware of this.

I had been under the impression that Obama continued his Lieberman support.

Glad to find out he didn't.

At any rate --it would have been expected for both Hillary and Obama to support the incumbent Democrat in the primary and then rightly support Lamont when he won.

This is such a non-issue.

[OKNancy]

15. She did? I know that she endorsed and supported Lamont

against Lieberman in the general election.

2. Another reason not to vote for Obama.

[Blue-Jay]

10. He'll be cryin' himself to sleep tonight after losing your endorsement.

4. I think the citations to past statements could go back and forth forever nt

[TwilightGardener]

5. Warmongerin' Bob Kerrey endorsed Hillary today.

[skipos]

6. Barbara Boxer and many others supported Lieberman in the primary

Most politicians support their party's incumbent.

16. How does Hillary feel about voting for the Kyl/LIEBERMAN bill?

[Forkboy]

18. Obama and Hillary are next to last on my list...

...but you clowns are making it real easy to decide who needs the defending and who doesn't. Keep up the good work. Negative campaigning has been kicking ass this year for all who have tried it!!!!

By the way, how do you feel about Hillary teaming up with Joe and Bayh to tackle that thorny and oh so pressing issue of video game violence while a war rages on? :eyes:

19. Al Gore must be a conservative!

Since guilt by association games are always valid and accurate, that would be the logical conclusion.
