Sen. Joe Lieberman was treated like an outcast back in 2008 when he broke from the Senate Democratic Caucus and openly opposed Barack Obama’s bid for the White House.
Asked last week if he’d back Obama in 2012, the Connecticut independent said, “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
This time around, there may be more Liebermans.
A number of moderate Democrats like Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and liberals like Sen. Bernie Sanders are declining to give their unqualified support for the president, saying they’re either too focused on their own races or are calling on the White House to cater to their agendas before they will offer an endorsement. Some up for reelection in red states or in swing districts fear that even showing up on stage with Obama will give their opponents an image to seize upon — much as Democrats did in 2008 when they repeatedly flashed shots of Sen. John McCain hugging President George W. Bush.
So as the president faces the dual challenges of energizing his base while wooing moderates, some Democrats in Congress are keeping their distance, with the president’s approval rating hovering in the mid-40s — and even lower in states like West Virginia, where moderate Sen.

Now they’re trying to buy fire insurance after the place has already burned down.
We were dumb enough to elect them and keep voting for them. :(
Don’t vote for any of these anti-Free-America losers.
Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
Hard core liberals are pathological stealers. We have serial killers, even though “thou shalt not kill”, but we also have pathological serial stealers, like Obama, who violate that equally important other commandment that is supposed to be a bulwark against socialism and safeguard of our sacred property rights.
I wish there was a printed Politico newsletter, for the times I run out of 0bama toilet paper.
The Horror! :)
