Lieberman: Obama 'about perfect' in Cabinet picks

http://ktar.com/?nid=45&sid=997638

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman took another step Tuesday toward mending his relationship with Democrats, saying that Barack Obama's actions since winning the presidency have been "just about perfect."

"Everything that President-elect Obama has done since election night has been just about perfect, both in terms of a tone and also in terms of the strength of the names that have either been announced or are being discussed to fill his administration," Lieberman said during a visit to Hartford.

...

Lieberman said he believes the rift between himself and the party stemmed mainly from his support of President Bush's policy in Iraq and will close as that becomes less of an issue.

"It appears to me that the war in Iraq is coming to a successful _ I don't want to say conclusion yet, but it's moving in a way that it will not be a divisive issue either in the Democratic Party or between Democrats and Republicans in the time ahead," Lieberman said. "And therefore, I think we'll return to more normal times, which I welcome."

that posed a bit of a problem as well.

5. "Hi. My name is Joe Lieberman and I'm an ass kisser"
"It's what I do. I can't help myself, it's an illness. Or a mental disorder, can't be sure."
As a guy named Joe, I must say that I'm offended by Lieberman. He makes us look bad. So shut up Lieberman.

6. No, dumbass... it's largely because you are a fucking traitorous dumbass
And that little love fest you had with McCain and Palin didn't help either, ya fucking loser.

Just hurry up and fuck up badly so Obama can rid us of you once and for all.

7. To be honest, why wouldn't he think that? Obama's picks mirror what Hillary's would have been.
I think you will find that most people who supported Hillary in the Primaries are quite pleased with Obama's choices.

I know I am.

19. It really is
He would be better off just keeping quiet for a while and hope people will forget how two-faced he is.

24. Obama could kick Lieberman squarely in the balls and Joe would compliment him on his perfect aim.
Besides, the balls in question now belong to President-elect Obama. He may do with them as he wishes.

27. Joe grossly underestimates the memory of Democrats.
We will not forget his support of *'s war policy or the way he treated our candidate and the party.
