Behold Barack doing yet another Obama, this one vintage 2006:
But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America. I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate.
Ooops.
Or in the words of The Washington Post - a scant six months later:
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, a vocal defender of Sen. Joe Lieberman earlier this year, is urging Connecticut voters to rally behind his rival, Ned Lamont.
Not that that would have surprised William F. Buckley who, just prior to the Obama swithceroo, noted that "in politics, vows of fidelity are renewable every 24 hours."
The Buckley-Lieberman bond is as uplifting as the Obama-Lieberman link is a downer.
Buckley on Lieberman:
Joe Lieberman is a singular human being. He has personal support from people who know him, and who sense in him a true love for God and country.
Lieberman on Buckley:
I have lost a dear and cherished friend who I have known for more than 40 years.
One could disagree with him -- as I did quite frequently -- and never lose respect or affection, dare I say love, for a wonderful human being.
Contrast that with the crassness of Barack Obama:
* latching on to Lieberman -- who, when Obama was just a two-year-old, had registered Black voters in Mississippi -- as his senate mentor,
* whooshing to Connecticut to rally support for his colleague's re-election,
* then forking over $5,000 to defeat the man who had embraced him from the start.

LOL! Right on!

The only thing Berry changes is the grip he has on the knife he is sticking in our back. He is a filthy politician from Chicago who belongs in a bathhouse, not the White House.
Obama reminds me of the dog in this old joke from way back...
A small boy looks out the window and sees two dogs busy trying to make more dogs. The boy calls his father over to the window, points and asks, “Daddy what are they doing?”
The father is very sexually inhibited and is unable to explain sex to the little boy so he conjures up a tale, “Son, it’s obvious to me that the male dog has been injured and he is leaning on the female and she is helping him to walk”. “That’s it son, she is just trying to help him”. The little boy pauses and then replies,”Daddy, dogs are just like people”. The father then asks his son why he would compare dogs to people in such a way. “Well, daddy, if you try to help somebody they will screw you every time”.
