Yes Stoller, I too would like to know... In fact, I would like to see in print where Obama promised to come to CT and campaign for Lamont. He has publicly supported Lamont, but just because he supports Lamont publicly does not mean he has to bad mouth Lieberman. He did contribute money to Lamont's campaign, although it was not a large amount I'll grant you... I have not seen anything on him donating or campaigning for Lieberman. I will also bet that the majority are staying out of this race 1) due to their prior relationship with Joe and 2) that Senate leadership has requested trying not to piss joe off in case he decides to caucus with the GOP. As Chris said, winning the House and Senate is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. While I would rather get rid of Joe, if having him is the only way to win the Senate, then he is welcomed back... until 2012.
But please if you can provide written proof on where Obama has lied about CT, I would love to see. Until then, I have to chalk it up to your irrational dislike of the man.
'cause he's the rock star du jour. If you're gonna take advantage of all that buzz and publicity, you have to take the crunchy with the smooth, as the man said.
Also, it's hardly fair to say that Obama is "singled out" in a post that takes both Clintons, Harry Reid, and Chuck Schumer to task, repeatedly.
I myself am a bit bewildered by the notion that Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy are not "high profile Democrats" (ahem), but I agree with the substance of the post 100%.
I am an angry Democrat.
Obama is a waste. As an ally, a candidate, a sitting Senator, and most certainly as a President. He is all talk and no walk. Matt is right. The Democrats really do suck when it comes to who and what this party is suppose to be.
