Sen. Barack Obama’s “naïve” world view could embolden America’s enemies during one of the most dangerous periods for America since the 1930s, U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman told Newsmax in an exclusive television sit-down interview Tuesday.
Lieberman, visiting Fort Lauderdale, Fla., also told Newsmax that he is so disappointed with the Democratic Party, he will consider whether to bolt the Democratic Senate caucus next session.
“I believe he’s naïve to think that people like [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad and Tehran will somehow become America’s friends by talking to them — a warm embrace and a cup of tea. It’s not going to work that way,” said Lieberman.
McCain’s recent decline in the polls was “unfair” and “not rational,” Lieberman said, referring to the negative economic news that has impacted the McCain campaign.

The Obama Putsch continues according to the fascist model.
Democrats ought to refute their support for this dangerous candidate
Hey Senator, while you are in Florida, why don't you tell the good citizens there why McCain should get the Jewish vote and not Obama.
The only question with Joe Lieberman is whether he will be kicked out of the Democrat caucus before he leaves voluntarily.
In this session of Congress, the Democrats needed Joe to keep their Senate majority, and control of the Senate. Depending what happens on election day, there may be several more Democrat senators. If the Dem. leadership doesn’t need Joe to keep the majority in the next Congress, they will evict him from the caucus.
He can save face by leaving before they disown him.
Why? This is what the dimocrat party is now. Why they won't call themselves the National Dimocratic Bolshevik Party is beyond me. That is what they are.
I think he has appeared with Palin on a few of her recent stops throughout Florida, so yes, he is doing just that. (Although speaking not just to the Jews.)
well, if there are any non-bolshevicks left......
I like the 2008 Lieberman, he’s a mensch. He needs to leave the Democrats and adjust a few of his domestic views too. His foreign policy is swell. He would do good at Defense or State. Thanks, Joe, for all you’ve done this year.
That I doubt.
Whoops, Riederrere would have still been there.
Thought he was an independent because they bolted him first. He's dead to them politically, so he may as well stop caucusing with them. That won't happen because he'd lose his chairman spots.
Why do you presume Sen. Lieberman didn't?
Oh man, the Middle East (save Israel) would go through conniption fits if Lieberman was Secretary of State.
I hadn’t beening hearing it in the news. While it is important for Floridians to hear this from Lieberman, the rest of the country could benefit.
Lieberman will bolt because he knows that the Dems won’t need him after November to have a majority in the Senate. They will strip him of his committee chairmanship on Jan 20 at the latest due to his apostasy.
I’m actually not opposed to trying it Obama’s way. Let’s send him to Iran for that warm embrace and a cup of tea.
::please!::
“the Middle East (save Israel) would go through conniption fits . . .”
And your point is . . . ? :-)
May Bolt Party in FutureOH GAWD! The last thing we need is more Democrats.
