The problem with Sen. Lieberman is that he's a "Republican" in an "Independent" body. Why the heck he would vote with one party and back another is beyond understanding by me.

For those anti-Barry Obama people here who like what McSame and Lieberman speak, get a brain. If you think we have a mess in Iraq, wait 'till we start messing with Iran. Both of those Bozos want to bomb Iran (with nukes, I presume) and call it a day. If McCain gets elected, life as you know it will be over, that is, if you are alive to witness it.

I hope the Dems can pick up a few of the Republican seats in the Senate - that way they don't need Turncoat Lieberman to caucus with them - he can then join the Republicans.

Both Joe & John McCain are classic instances of people staying on in the Senate past their prime - we definitely need term limits in Congress!!

America, are you ready? Next dream team.

McCain/Lieberman 2008

On to the Senior Center.

Joe Lieberman, the "Loserman" from "Sore-Loserman-2000″, is blackmailing the Democrats. It is a matter of time before Democrats get a few more seats and Lieberman becomes Loserman once more.

And we still continue to attempt to walk all over people of color. This nation STILL has a long way to go even though Barack is the nominee.

Sincerely,
Disappointed

Joe Liberman is again resorting to his high & mighty ways - this is the same guy who did not like the outcome of his Senate Democratic primary which he lost to Ned Lamont. The spineless ass decided to run as an independent just ‘cause he did not want to play by the rules!!! Is he really a Democrat?

Joe Lieberman …is the only honest democrat there is.

Tom, ALBUQUERQUE, NM June 5th, 2008 6:13 pm ET
Count me in Joe, as a devout African American democrat and Hillary supporter I will readily cast my vote for McCain.

Well I am a Obama supporters and I plead with you, we DO need Clinton supporters. I was always told that it better to have more, then to fall short with less. Please reconsider your decision to change party's and vote for McCain, we really need a democratic president in November. I am struggling to keep my home, buy food and gas and most of all care for my daughter who has severe allergies and asthma, so of course the meds are expensive.

I know you think a lot of these comments are coming from dems., but there's no way we would be responsible for some of the harsh things that are being said. Just think about this…John McCain, Bush and Lieberman are all peas in a pot. I wouldn't be surprise if they are not paying people to go on all these blogs and pretend to be dems.

They have some voters thinking that they really care about Clinton feelings and make these so called nice remarks to act as if it‘s sincere, please don’t fall for it. Each election year they come up with other ways to use trickery, just as they are doing now trying to get the dems that is upset about the decision of the DNC, acting as if they really want you to feel welcome, it’s only your votes. That is obvious in 2004 Bush was the most religious president I had seen, but once he got our votes, there was a change as soon as the next day. Family losing family members to this war he made us think was a matter of WMD, when there was none. Thanks to his formal staff book now we know the truth about the war and the underhand way he is.

This playing a caring role isn't anything different for them, that's why they used religion to fool voters into thinking they were so religions “2004“, and once the election was over it was clear that was a lie. Now they want you think they care about your happiness during this hurdle in our dems. Party, Please don't fall for it this time, I beg you………..

Birds of a feather flock together. See ya. Show your support for McSame by sending your kids to the army so that they can help out in Iraq. You Hillary supporter are the ones that run your mouth but didn't send her any money. All of you are worthless so go and jump ship just like Joe.
Joe, how many Israeli soldiers are in Iraq?

TO ALL WHO WOULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN INSTEAD OF OBAMA, HERE ARE SOME FACTS YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH:

A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR………

MORE WAR, NOT ONLY IN IRAQ BUT POSSIBLY WITH IRAN

MORE OF OUR TROOPS COMING HOME DEAD, MAIMED OR WORSE TO COMMIT SUICIDE

MORE AMERICANS BEING BANKRUPTED BY MEDICAL BILLS

MORE AMERICANS UNEMPLOYED AS THE REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE BIG CORPORATIONS

MORE OF OUR CHILDREN WITHOUT HEALTHCARE

MORE DEBT…….OUR NATIONAL DEBT IS OVER $1O TRILLION……..WHY IS IT THAT ALL OF YOU WOULD-BE-MCCAIN SUPPORTERS DON'T EXPLAIN HOW ALL OF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS WILL BE BETTER UNDER MCCAIN?????????????

IF YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN YOU VOTE FOR 'STAYING THE COURSE' AND 81% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

Um Just saying the people bashing Reid are pretty stupid because, he is supporting Obama and is a good person.

The other guy is stupid.

Reid and Obama are good

Obama 08

Reid is doing a fine job. So is Pelosi. This will be apparent when there is a Democrat in the White House and the Senate is then able to move forward with policy and not always have to face vetoes from the President. I am not so sure about Lieberman. He seems to be conflicted in his loyalties, but I suppose that's why he is an independent.

A President Mccain Equals A Draft For World Was Three!

McInsane and Lie-Berman fit of each other !!!

McSame as Bush so Joe=Bush which equals disaster for another 4 years or less (71 years Mc Old).

Now you tell me why you would NOT support Obama mama ding dong!!

Spineless Harry Reid and the rest of the jellyfish in Congress can't even end this forsaken war. Why would he stand up to McLieberman?

Hang tough, Joe Lieberman. Don't let Obama and his minions silence you. We Hillary supporters are with you.

None of you have any idea what they were talking about. Until you do, maybe you should lay off the ad hominem attaccks . . . especially you ridiculous "if-not-Hillary-than-McCain-who-cares-about-Roe v. Wade" people.

I am a Democrate but with vote for McCain. I made this decision months ago. I looked at all three candidates and only liked two. Obama was not one of the two.

You can call me any names you want, I don't care. I emailed Sen. Clinton and told her of my decision.

I don't want some one with Obama's attitude (reminds me of Bush attitude seven years ago), his little experience, and with a wife who is not not proud to be American.

Also, why would I vote for someone who supporters are so hateful.

Remember he does not walk on water and it will take more then a day to change things.

This country is not united and he is not going to unite the people or the goverment with remarks like "I'll whup em. "

THE BUSH, & MCBUSH FOLKS ARE RELAY KEEPING

AN EYE ON THE BALL, NUCLEAR WEAPONS FLYING

OVER OUR NATION, BY OUR OWN AIR FORCE.

If Gore hadn't picked Lieberman, Gore would have too many votes for Bush to have done anything about (like with the chads).

Time to kick Lieberman to the curb!

This Democratic Presidential Primary's goal was about Sen. Clinton and how to kick her out of the race.

Are we left with one choice, or not?

I never understood Sen. Reid and Sen. Pelosi.

I am changing party ticket to Republican for the first time in 40 years,
go McCain.

if dems had any brains,they would be republicians

What is needed now is for the Democrats to pick up 4-to-6 additional Senate seats. This will give the Democrats a bit more breathing room and afford them the option to handing the 'so-call' Independent Lieberman his walking papers - - - so he can go right over to the Republicans. I’m sure he will feel better over there where he can continue lapping up lobby dollars from the health industry, and finding new reasons for cutting corporate welfare checks for failed airlines and mismanaged financial institutions. Believe me CHANGE cannot get here soon enough.

Lieberman is more of the old Washington. More of, and on the payroll of McSame.

Obama 08!

Whatever………………………A vote is a vote is a vote…………

Lieberman sucks. His crapy vote won't matter after november anyway. The repubs have a lot of worrying to do.

Lieberman’s agenda is very obvious. He was very instrumental in getting the Iraq war started, and he continues his relentless pursuit in making sure that it keeps on going. It seems that this man’s mission on earth is to make sure that we always have an unstable Middle East, so the likes of Iran and Syria are always detracted from focusing on Israel… even if it meant that more American lives are lost in the process.
Pursuing peaceful means could somehow lead to an end to this madness, but Lieberman’s suspicious intent will always prevent that from happening…

Its a bit hard to take the guy who ran on a VP ticket against George Bush but now supports the Republican party seriously.
I always thought he was a crappy choice for Gore anyway.

I hope McSame picks him as his VP.

—-McSame - Like Bush but older.

A New Slogan For Mac Same! * A World War Three You Can Believe In! *

Bitter people, stick together! no matter what……………………………..

Obambi DA presumptive nominee better start enjoying it now, in November he'll bow his head to President John McCain, Joe Lieberman can whup him! LOL

Harry Reid is defending Joe Liberman because he needs his vote. Otherwise it woud be 50-50 and darth vader, aka Dick Cheny woudl cast the deciding vote, so the democrats hold the lead by the skin of their teeth.

After November, that will no longer be the case, and Liberman will not have any clout.

For someone who is only one election cycle removed from being the VP candidate on the democratic ticket, Senator Liberman has made a dramatic change to support Senator McCain.

Go Liebermann………..Speak your conscience and don't allow anyone of those Senators to tell you what to do! It's great to hear a Senator of Intelligence speak with common sense. Obviously, Obama has no idea what he's doing or any sound opinions.

loudobbs, i am a concerned american citizen, i think you have an anger problem, and why do you always have to be right and everyone else is wrong all the time. why do interviews if you are going to argue with everyone that don't agree with your views., you need an attitude ajustment, or don't be a public figure. and leave Obama alone, you are really showing your hatred for him because he used you as an example. but that's nothing compared to what you do and say about everyone else.

I don't know why anybody is listening to Lieberman. He was a Democrat till 2006. Suddenly he is supporting the GOP? Sounds like a traitor to me. He is just a sore loser cause he lost the Democratic nomination to his own state. He shouldn't be meddling in national affairs when he can barely handle his own state.

Joe Lieberman the next Benedict Arnold? Seems like it.

Obama '08.

Obambi the presumptive nominee! Enjoy the glory in November bow your head to President John McCain. Joe Lieberman can whup your ass!

Obama will turn us all into muslims with his Allah Ray!!!! Be careful

Hillary and McCain lovers, stop judging with your emotions and start judging with your brains!

Racist, racist, racist inbreeds, you know who you are! Please do vote McCain! We do not need you!

Racist, racist, racist!!!

Vote on issues! not color!

The problem with people like racist are they do not and can not debate the issues with a rational thinking individual!

This Guy Is As Irrelevant As Hillary!

Response to Obama is a joke:
You can call people names all you want. However, John McCain is running George Bushes 3rd term and he is still fighting Vietnam.

I have nothing but respect for a man that told his party to 'shove it' because he wouldn't follow lock step with something he didn't believe in.

He's now sitting smug and has leverage over the entire dem party because dropping him could lose them the majority.

@ Marc PDX

O Really? Since you have the insight why don't you tell us what Obama said to McCain since you clearly know.

@ anyone who says "if not Hillary than McCain"

Grow up.

This present house and senate Leaders has shown that it is about as bad as we have ever seen It is no wonder that Reid sucks up to the weasel Lieberman. This bum is about the sleaziest piece of scum that has ever achieved the level of a senator in my lifetime.A cheat to his Connecticut Constituants and a detriment to this USA. his loyalty is for Israel and he and Mccain will spare no American lives to achieve Israels goal of maintaining there political and monetary position in the mid east. What a disgrace from a supposedly honorable position of loyalty and honor in the US government.

HAS ANYONE SEEN HILLARY!

The whole Obama campaign has been the "HUSH UP" campaign. I don't know Sen. Obama himself is that kind of person but the campaign has been.

Response to Obama is a joke. You can call people names but McCain is runing George Bush's 3rd term. I don't think America wants President Bushs term to go on and on Etc!!

Obama's is already bulling everyone, yo ahole, you are not the president yet!

No matter who Sen. Liberman is for - obama is only for obama. obama is worse than the old line of politicians - claims he's different and he is - far worse than the old line!

Harry Reid knows that he could enjoy as Senate Majority leader because of Joe Liberman. These democrats do not know true color of Obama. I am waiting to see the fun come November. Obama is a clown. Poor Billy of Florida is being criticised. Then someone is saying that Republicans are writing here to divide the voters. No. it cannot happen. John McCain is a decent man and this democrat will vote for him.

Joe Liberman has more intelligence in his pinkie finger than Obama, the fraud, has in his whole body. How dare Obama attack a senior stateman. Just shows what poor judgement Obama has. America needs to cast off this wanna be politican. He did not receive the most popular votes and only won through cheating
and buying off the superdelegates. Obama is a scum bag.
McCain in November

Sen. Reid has done very little for our country. Nobody cares what he thinks and why he thinks it.

Lieberman follows McCain around like a puppy, or is he telling McCain what to say? Poor McCain is such a horrible speaker and looks like an idiot with his fake smile. I can't stand to watch him on TV.

I agree that McCain should pick Lieberman for his V.P. so that Liberman can lose again with him. Lieberman is a discrace, and now McCain is making a discrace of himself. I used to be a Republican until this year. I'm voting for Obama.

there is such a MASSIVE difference between you switchers and the obama supporters.

i am not saying this to insult you, but seriously you guys are NOT basing that huge decision on FACTS!!!! and we just dont understand why you wont do a little bit of research to learn the facts.

no one said she was a HORRIBLE person, but she HAS let down every one of us. i know so many people, me included, who LOOKED FORWARD to voting for hillary. we dems LOVED the clintons, but their campaigning got uglier and uglier and more rovian by the day, and since that is the GOP way their campaigning became the same lies and half truths we've been suffering through the past 8 years.

and THAT is why obama came from nowhere to get the nomination. this country and all of us have been beaten down by the bush/cheney cabal, WE dont want it anymore, you switchers apparently havent had enough punishment yet!

Lieberman is a traitor to the Democratic party. He should be in the Knesset rather than the US Senate since that is where his loyalties lie!

Liebermann is neither an Independent nor a Democrat. After the election, Liebermann should be pressured by congress to go join the Republican minority, with whom he always votes anyway.
If Obama picks him as VP, the Republicans will win the election due to real Democrats staying home to avoid voting for Liebermann. If McCain picks him, the Republicans have no chance in hell of winning the Presidency.
Liebermann has no conscience, no loyalty, and no common sense. I can't believe voters in Connecticut still support this anachronism called "Liebermann".

New Borat (sorry, I meant “Barrack”) Movie Soon to Be Filmed in Denver:

“Learnings of Everything Undemocratic for Make Benefit Glorious Obama DNC and for Make Poo-Poo on American Voter!”

It's amazing how giddy CNN is over the nomination of Obama.

And I thought they were supposed to be objective.

Joe's right on this one

CNN POST PLEASE!

This is not on topic but CNN, why don't you get rid of Lou(zer) Dobbs. He is so far from objective reporting it's laughable. His hatred of Sen. Obama is awfully sad.

Barack Obama for President of the USA 08/12

Lieberman is a DISGRACE.

He is a classic example of a sick, manipulative has-been. In a few years, people will forget about this lunatic and remember that the United States of America came back from the brink and elected Barack Obama as President.

McCain and Lieberman are destined for the trashcan.

CNN STILL BEING BIAS. WONT TAKE MY COMMENT. THE HATERS CAN TRASH THE CLINTONS AND HER SUPPORTERS, BUT GOD HELP US IF WE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT POOR O.B. AND THE RACE THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM. TO YOU HATERS . WE WOULDN'T BE GOING AGAINST OUR CANIDATE HRC VOTING FOR MCCAIN. WE WOULD BE SAVING OUR COUNTRY FROM A GREENHORN. MONEY AND BS. ISNT ENOUGH TO RUN A COUNTRY. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

If McCain gets elected… I'll personally do well. I'm in the upper income brackets. I personally would rather pay a little more tax and have a president who wants to improve america for everyone, not just for the wealthy.. so I will be voting Obama.

For you McCain voters.. I only have one thing to say. If McCain gets elected… I don't want to hear any crying about your sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, etc. being slaughtered in war. If you vote McCain… you vote for the death of your loved ones. When you cry… I'll give you the finger and tell you to look in the mirror.. because that's where the fault will lie.

Yes, who cares what Reid thinks. Obama 08

Unlike the rest of the gutless and feckless Democrats, Joe Liebermann has something called "core values" - yeah, I know its a difficult concept for you Dems, but google it and maybe you'll catch a clue.

Who can trust Liberman; he has a spot with the McCain cabinet. He was some of Gore's problem.

Who cares! We believe in miracles and Obama will not make it to the White House – No job openings for monkeys in the White House…LOL

Hillary supporters let's unite and boycott Oprah so she can keep dancing away on her low ratings.

Joe Liberman is two faced. I don't trust him, but the people of CT elected him. The war in Iraq was and is wrong. Obama supports Israel, so what is Liberman complaining about? McSame is going to follow the same path as Bush, so we all know where this country is heading if he is elected. For the Hillary supporters that are willing to cut off their own noses by voting for McSame, shame on you. What have your lives been like the past 8 years? Get real…

I have voted Democratic in every Presidential election in last 24 years. Not this one. I don't trust Obama. He is sleezy and elitist. I'm glad the Republicans have a decent non-fundamentalist candidate otherwise I wold not be voting

Reid and Liberman are both the biggest jerk has beens around, both noted for nothing but insanity, and as for Liberman he's the biggest reason why Gore didn't get in he's nothing but a loser in search of a political party, and no one wants his.

Mish,

I couldn't have said it better myself. And if no one believes you just go back and research his reasoning for not signing on to the NEW GI BILL. Retention problems in the military. If they can't get people to stay, and take my word for it they can't. They will enforce the draft, and I for one can not wait for all of you dum dums who voted for DUBYA in the first place to have to face up to the choices you made. Instead me, my husband and fellow comrades having to bare the brunt of your irresponsible decisions.

OBAMA 08

Factcheck.org: McCain misrepresenting Iran vote.

Senator Liberman need to read it quick , and shut up.

I say if he is with the Republican Nominee than he is a Republican and needs to get out or in. Obama is the leader of this party and thats what leaders do they clean house on turncoats .

OBAMA 08,12

Some bitter acadimics cling to Sen. Obama and his hope and change.

McCain 2008, Independent for McCain.

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama employed and continues to employ senior staffers who belong to the Nation of Islam, and the presidential candidate has some "worrying" ties to the controversial group headed by Louis Farrakhan, a former key Obama insider told WND.

The former insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed particular concern that Obama employed at least two Nation members in his early days as a state senator, when his office was staffed by only a handful of workers.

"When you're a state senator, you have little money given to you to hire staff. It is ironic that two of Obama's employees in those days were known Nation of Islam activists when Obama employed perhaps a total of maybe three or four staffers," said the former insider.

The former insider confirmed Obama is directly aware of the Nation of Islam members on his staff.

We can always come back to the Democratic Party if and when they show a desire to respect our participation, and field an acceptable candidate.

. These are quotes from people I agree with, please lets srart a movement.

Obama needs to take that big stick he was given today and put it upside Lieberman's head.

Excuse me? Did someone just critisize CNN for having an Obama ad on their politcal page?

This is still a free country is it not? It is NOT however, free to run ads.

If you want to buy the space where the ad is, go right ahead. Say whatever you want in it because I promise you it will not be free.

Note the, "Paid for by" placed right on the ad.

Where do I sign?

In reading many of the posts on CNN, it intrigues me that a candidate as impressive, eloquent and likable as Senator Obama seems to attract among his suppoters so many hateful, immature name callers ! I've noted that most Sen.McCain supporters will criticize their opponent, but still refer to him as "Sen.Obama". In contrast, most Obama suppoters cannot seem to call their opponent by his actual name, but rather as "McSame, McBush, McWar, stupid angry old man", etc.
I'm an indepenent and I 'm leaning toward Senator Obama, but I would urge many of his followers posting here to try and follow his example and express yourselves in a more adult manner.

Lieberman is likely to lose the chairmanship next year. However, if McCain wins the election, Lieberman is likely to join the McCain administration. But if Obama wins, then Lieberman has to stay in the Senate and his power will be cut.

Gee when obama first stole his way into the senate guess who his buddy buddy was. Now that he doesn't need him he casts him aside…typical of this butt. He thinks he something and again if the democrats would only look at who voted for him CAUCUS that his supporters intimidated people at they will see he can't beat McCain.

I think its hilarious that these Clinton/McCain supporters somehow know what the context of the conversation between Obama and Lieberman was. Just so you know, you sound as stupid as Clinton and McCain want you to be. What else is new?

Down with Lieberman! He'd sell his own mother not to mention the country for his own interests!

Obama CAN NOT and WILL NOT win the Presidency by intimidation.

America needs to say NO to Obama.

dem switching, there is a MASSIVE difference between you switchers and the obama supporters.

McBush has bought and paid for Joe's support. Joe has no shame, no morals, no ethics. There is no reason to take Joe seriously. Only a lunatic would think Hilary's pro-choice supporters would vote for a pro-life McBush. Makes no sense. Keep at it Joe.

Lieberman…who's that? Is he even relevant anymore?

Lierberman is one of the few who stands for what he believes in regardless of the "party" - and that's how life is. Some of my ideas are conservative and some of them liberal. People aren't cut and dry. And that's exactly why I won't vote for Obama and don't understand those who let parties think for them and vote blindly just because their party goes along with it (i.e Obama).

I hope Senator Liberman is not only for Israel. This nation is blended with different races and elected officias should be for all Americans and not strictly for one particular race. It will be the end of this great nation if elected officials are only for their own race/people. This primary already shown us that most of the politicians are only for their own interest and for themselves and hardly find another people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.God bless America.

no guts no glory…if you dont have the courage to initiate change, it will never happen by itself. Leaders are not created…they are born. Neither Reid nor Lieberman are the future…they are perfect examples of why our system is broken. No balls.

Look at who Obama associates with….You admire him but don't know who he is or what he really stands for. You admire his platform skills and that's all. Think about it. What has he actually done? C'mon, he's no John Kennedy. He can simply rally and influence an audience with skill and that's it. Dangerous. I'm voting McCaine.

Obama is a joke No way he gets elected. The Dems were sweet talked by this nobody

O.B. SUPPORTERS ARE THE WORST HATERS…THEY STAND FOR EVERYTHING THEIR CANIDAE IS AGAINST.THATS WHY WE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL GET PAYBACK IN NOV. THE RACE WAS GIVEN TO O.B.

I am an 18 year old Hillary Clinton supporter and I do not trust Obama! That is why I will be casting my vote for John McCain!! He is a moderate republican and not some far left wing liberal piece of trash like Obama! I changed my party affiliation to republican after the democratic party unfairly pushed Sen Clinton out of the race even though she indisputably won the popular vote! Down with Obama!! I am sick of him. I hope something bad like this Michelle Obama video that the republicans have gets released before the Democratic Convention because then Hillary will be made the nominee. But if that doesn't happen I will vote for John McCain!!

Please remenber that Romney wants to eliminate social security immediately.

go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is gonna get trounced in the general election

LiebCain and all the Rep should stand down. This one my friends as BushCain would say is over!!!!

Obama 08

Isn't Bam-Bam putting the cart before the horse in threatening to "whup Congress?"

Does that include all those super delegates — and the Leona Helmsley of Congress — Pelosi?

Sen. Obama would do well to listen to experience … something he is lacking … that being both listening to experience and possessing experience.

Lieberma/Mccain; Lilberman/ Mccain!!!!!

What is this all about? Obama stole Hillary's ideas and Mccain's??
He only makes pretty speeches! Is he a thoughtless dumb dumb?The GOP has had tax cuts (for the wealthest americans) for 8 years and that did not keep the economy from crashing and burning; Under their rule millions of families have lost or are loosing their homes. We have been in the Iraq war for 5 out of the last 8 years of the Republicians rule without any real resolution. this party is saying the surge is working, How many folk are left in Bagdad to kill? Since McCain say stay the course until we sustain the victory, what would that be? Could we "the United states" do with less experience; and a lot more sincerity honesty ?

I predict the Lieberman effect will hurt McSham as much as it hurt Gore.

have some backbone REID …stand behind the leader of your party for God's sake..What message dose this send you idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Assuming the Democrats pick up more seats in the Senate this fall, Lieberman is sure to get tossed under the bus. Goodbye, Mr. Chairman.

OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SO OBAMA HATERS NEED TO START RESPECTING THE MAN BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEED ON A DAILY BASIS,NOT MCCAIN

Lieberman useless?

I think a senator who records most of his votes as "present" is pretty useless.

How dare simple people try to threaten Obama. Vote for McCain! You will have to live with the difficulties of your decision. Obama's income will have increased…will yours? Obama will still be the first African American democratic nominee and he will go down in history for this…and you will still be (whatever?). Obama will not be affected at all should McCain become president. He will end up with a good paying position doing something worthwhile for our country. And you? You will still be complaining and struggling to make it.

Obama won't be affected. He's young and can run for president again. He won't be affected. BUT YOU WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is positioning himself to be the keynote speaker at the Republican convention… He has been actively campaigning for a Republican President for close to a year.

He was not elected as a democrat, and is not a democrat. Al Gore already gave him more stature then he deserves. Wouldn't it make sense to denounce him as a party, before he takes the stage as this years Zell Miller?

Reid is a spineless moron on this one.

God Forbid anyone says anything to Obama…he crys and CNN crys with him. The media is ridiculous. The other day they had Lowery on one of their shows and he actually said that he thought Obama was annointed by GOD to be President. CNN allowed that stupid type of comment on their show. They probably beleive it themselves that is why they are so bias for him. It is sickening. I hope Hilary ends up running as an independent. She might not win but guess what? Neither will Mr. Arrogance Obama and his radical wife. It would serve these ridiculous heads of the Democratic party right if she did and they lost.

Anyone notice that Obama is backing off on pulling out of Iraq? Now he says 'well, I never said . . . ."

He is following the NIxon playbook: In the primary, run to the left, and in the GE, run to the Center.

Only problem is he has farther to run than McCain to reach the center, since McCain is reviled by the hard right for his independence, and Obama is firmly rooted in the hard left for his lack of it.

go mccain

Wow, you Obama supporters are really showing your ignorance here.

The fanatics on the far left and your insane outbursts is exactly why so many Democrats (me included) did not support Obama. You need to get a grip on reality, seriously.

Moderates and Independents play an important role and you far left fanatics need to be put in place by Obama. Hopefully sooner rather than later. He certainly needs a moderate on his Ticket.

He is the one person who can help Obama with a critically weak issue. You people are just dense. You do not realize you are running against an electorate (and Electoral College) which put Bush back in the White House in 2004, well after the start of the Iraq war. Smarten up please.

There's so much bickering going on in these comments. Obama's message is simple: he wants a political debate, not a personal debate. Obama is not a liar. McCain is not a liar. Clinton is not a liar. Now, let's just relax and consider the issues.
Why are the former Clinton supporters threatening to vote for McCain now? Have they not looked at the issues? McCain and Clinton have nothing in common. Do they not care about the issues?

CNN - I think you're doing a great job of reporting. You're reports are unbiased and based on fact. Almost everything is backed up with quotes. Keep up the good work

CNN, STOP CALLING OBAMA PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE. HE IS THE NOMINEE.

Lieberman is putting the interest of Isreal before the United States. He is a Jew and all the Jews have isreal best interest in mind. They are not going to vote against the war because they would rather have the U.S fight for them. Yeah the media will never talk about that.

Joseph Lieberman is a disgrace and it's time for him to just go away. He has aligned himself with self-serving hypocrites like McCain and Bush which will seal his political fate.

Obama told Lieberman
' Hey - grow up! Im the nominee - and you know what - Im taking the gloves off, If you keep attacking me, Ill begin to punch you.

BEHAVE!

Obama - you too much!

OBAMA '08

Perhaps Joe Lieberman simply understands that responsible, informed politicians have to make decisions that difficult and imperfect. It's easy to make a popular decision that masses of uninformed voters will like. No one likes war. But it is the job of our leaders, especially the president, to protect the country. Sometimes that does mean war. And since humans are not perfect and since data is not perfect (or available when you need it sometimes) you have to make the best choice with the info you have at the time… to protect the country. Just trivially stating that you are against war is an empty statement. EVERYONE is against war. But it is sometimes necessary. We have real live enemies that intend to do us harm. They have stated that and demonstrated it a number of time over the past two decades. That is real data. Simply ignoring something that is distateful, based only on the fact that it is distasteful is like deciding that you don't want to have to take out the garbage anymore. Sure, at first you don't have to touch or look at the filth, but soon enough you won't be able to ignore it anymore. That brings us to 9/11/2001.

Trite decisions are popular with those who refuse to think (or who are incapable of it). Look at your history. Look at the data on hand (deeper than this mornings newspaper - probably written by latte liberals who are obsessed with their own popularity with popular culture). And most importantly THINK. For longer than 30 seconds. A senator with three years of national level experience is hardly ready for the presidency. You may as well vote in your teenage kid. S/he will have all the same positions as Obama. Just ask them! Go ahead!

NObama N'08

Lieberman will be of no use after the election.

The only people who will be stuck in the past eight years are those who believe McCain is the same as Bush.

McCain is his own man.

Liberman is irrealavant. He is the REAL JUDAS. Where ever there is an opportunity that's were you will find him. Not loyal to an cause or anyone.

=======================

I like Joe. He makes sense when he is on his medication.

Obama is a quitter not a leader. He quits when the going gets tough

I pity him, I really do.

He would be Carter's 2d term

Scary isn't it?

==============================================

im with joe. in fact, im with anyone who isnt with obama and his very oogly wife who will be a shameful first lady but oh wait its not gonna happen. whew scared myself for a minute. its true, this country will tell you whatever you want to hear but wont say whats really on their minds and that is that obama will not win tthe presidency because people are not ready for him and his attitude that he is the second coming and our answer to all that is wrong in life. the game is afoot and i cant wait to see how the republicans beat up on obama and his friends and his inexperience (187 days in the senate before running for president nomination). hahahaha

I think what Reid was saying is that these are separate issues. Obama can settle his own accounts with Lieberman. But Reid, as the majority leader, needs Lieberman to continue to caucus with the Democrats. If the Democrats ever get a comfortable lead in the Senate, then it will be Joe Lieberman who will have to watch his step, because he will be passed over for leadership positions if he makes too many waves for the Democratic party.

I live in CT, and I can tell you that Lieberman has deep roots in this state and that's why he probably has a Senate seat for about as long as he wants it. Many of us who have lived here for a while, but not as long as he has, are not enamored with him. Now that he's an independent, maybe we can field a really qualified Democrat to run against him next time. He's pretty entrenched, though.

Next steps
Do you think Obama should choose Clinton as his running mate?

Yes
.6 %
No
99.4 %

Results are based off 2.7m votes

OH HOW I WISH…..Hillary Supporters at least made some sense. Just a little bit of logic would be nice.

Always threatening to go Independent and voting McSame. Yet not thinking for a milli-second that they are ruinning any chance for Hillary to get any of her legislation passed.

Stupidity you can believe in!

Liebermann is a Republican in Independent's clothing Harry. Get with the program: He is NOT a member of the caucus!

I think I've found a good new career for Senator Clinton. Majority Leader of the Democratic Party. It's obvious Ditzy Harry isn't up to the job any more.

How about Obama/Bloomberg? Does that make any sense to anyone else?

You people are idiots. You would rather have McCain put our nation further into debt? I hope your retards are the first to die when our country gets overtaken by China. You F'ing idiots!

Lieberman's behavior is despicable. He is a traitor who should receive no respect from the the Democrats because he has not shown any to their nominee. By throwing his support with McCain; he has de facto given up any rights to caucus with Democrats or deserve the chairmanship of any committee. I hope the citizens of Connecticutare keeping watch.

Mo, Dallas Texas

It's very clear that Lieberman is more interested in pro-Israeli policy than the welfare of the United States. Harry Ried shouldn't be concerned with this traitor. The Dems will have a clear majority soon enough!

I'm a vet (25 yrs) from Nevada-
we are waiting to dump Reid on the next election.

Nevada mormoms wont be able to save him against vet votes!!

Not even a president yet and he is already acting like Robert Mugabe. What more if he becomes President, it's gonna be Kwanza Day everyday in the States.

"DO YOU SMELL WHAT BARACK IS COOKING"

Lieberman does not have America's interest as paramount.
He has never been very admirable….but as time passes, he becomes less and less so. No one should be speaking in his defense. Why is this man in any office?……because of lobbyist.

Obama will not win…..McCain this time and Hillary on 2012

Perhaps McCain will pick Lieberman for his VP and Lieberman can lose again. That said, Americans have decided they do not want more war pretty much anywhere…

Barack Obama has a clear vision of where he wants to lead the country and a lot of us are ready to follow.

Yes, we can.

Donna in CA.

If (when) Obama and the democrats win big in November, Lieberman is going to be in big trouble. He's been a thorn in the side since 2000 and it's only gotten worse. Shutting Lieberman and AIPAC down will be a step in the right direction to a saner policy with respect to the Palestinian issue.

Lieberman, a turncoat, NO JOE

Okay, Leiberman and Reid have spent how much time in Congress and Obama hasn't even served a full term? I'm a Hill supporter trying like hell to get on board but Obama and his supporters are making it very difficult.

Unfortunately, most MEN that vie for the most powerful man in the world, wind up with their egos thinking they can do anything.

An Independant can disagree with Obama if he wishes. Can criticize Obama if he wishes.

However, what is happening IN AMERICA??? How is it a 71 year old man crossing the street, gets hits by a car, and no one helps him?

Clinton will suspend the Primary Saturday. You have won. I actually think she is too good to be Obama's VP. Why…the hate posts.

If any of you were hit by a car, I don't care who it is, I would help. At 18, I helped 3 people out of a car after a head on…and held the hand of the man who died before the ambulance got there…and he kept saying, "Please help me," I have never felt so helpless in my life.

I think Lieberman is guided by only one agenda; his fervent support of the war. He does not represent the interest of the Democratic Party and the leadership should put him to pasture and let him declare his allegiance with th GOP.

Lieberman's one dimensional view of the world is leading him dow a deadend.

Lieberman is a wacko war-mongerer whom thinks bombing and invading Iran is the only solution.

He is totally biased and just doesn't get it. Good for Obama to yank him aside like that.

Yes no wonder Gore lost the election with this nutcase as the running mate. What were they thinking?

I am so glad for this and I'll tell you exactly why. This makes things SOO much easier. Firstly, when the Democrats pick up AT LEAST 1 or 2 seats in the Senate this election cycle, we can kick that idiot Lieberman to the curb and out of his committee chairmanship . We won't need him or his vote anymore. Furthermore, Obama can now have no qualms about promising Hillary he'll help her take over as Senate Majority Leader. Reid is finished. Then, hopefully that will appease Hillary and get her to drop this foolishness about joining the ticket.

Obama is going to be able to kill 3 birds in one fail swoop in November: Hillary, Lieberman, and Reid. It's going to be Gofather-esque. Write it down.

It must be nice that Joe had the cash to buy back his Senate seat and hold an entire party hostage with his one vote. He needs to be honest and register with the GOP, rather than play the two sides off one another.

The Dems need better party leadership. Time for Reid to grow a pair and slap Lieberman with a mackeral upside the head.

Mr Lieberman is a good example of why we need to elect more Democratic senators in November. Once the D's can solidfy their majority, they can stop kissing Lieberman's rear end, and throw him out of the party!

I just don't get why people are so impressed with this guy? "I'll whup 'em"…OK…first Oh Mr. Great Orator…whup 'em? And second, if an old Repbulican white guy said that, it would have been twisted everyway but loose…ay-yi-yi…this whole lovefest with this man has me baffled, befuddled, and just plain confused! McCain, as much as it pains me as a Republican, my vote is for you…get Romney, Powell, or Rice on your ticket, that will ease my pain!

I'm glad Obama had strong words with Lieberman. Its clear Joe is nothing but a traitor. Harry Reid should have kicked out Lieberman out, and the Dems should have invited Chuck Hagel in his place. Hagel has a good relationship with Obama, and he actually has higher approval ratings from Nebraska Dems than he does from Nebraska Republicans. Plus, he is not running for re-election anyway, so this can't hurt him. It would work out well. If Obama wins the election, I could see Hagel playing an important role in his cabinet anyway.

Why is it everytime someone disagree with Mr.Obama , they are wrong ,? Get over it people he is Human like we all are his word is not the Higher Word.

If you think he has all the answers you are so WRONG.
He will only be as effective as Senate and Congress will allow with their votes.

Oh by the way he is only a first term Senator or did you FORGET.

Yes, good approach.. don't threaten him, don't eliminate him… JUST FIX HIM… give him a good view of what really the facts are. And tell him that the World has changes and is time to be straight with people… no lies.

Problems were created by Republican's policies. Newsflash: McCain is one of them!!!

Lieberman cost the Democratic Party the Presidency in 2000… Old "Constipation Face' isn't going to get the chance in 2008. He's a man we can live without.

WOW……………. LIEBERMAN THIS BIGGEST TURNCOAT IN HISTORY, THE GUY WHO WOULDN'T STAND AND FIGHT WITH GORE, THE GUY WHO SOLD HIS SOUL……….. WOW

Oh, CNN you are absolutely infatuated with Obama aren't you? Could you be a little less biased. You have an ad for him on your political page, if you would like to appear as an unbiased source that reports the facts you wouldn't do that. You are constantly showing his speeches and are glorifying him.

Thank you, but I am withdrawing my comment as all points are necessary to understand it. Thank you for considering it. Please just delete it.

He is NOT a Democrat and does NOT qualify for a chairmanship.

Just say no to the GOP (GROSSLY OBSOLETE PIGS).

The quickest way to insanity is to keep voting republican and expect different results….

YES BECAUSE THEY STILL NEED YOU LIBERMAN BUT IF NOT, UNDER THE BUS YOU WILL GO ALSO.

POLITICS AS USUAL.

FIRST OBAMA STOLE ALL OF H.R. CLINTON GREAT IDEAS AND POLICIES
AND NOW HE IS TRYING TO STEAL J.S. MCCAIN'S GOOD IDEAS REGARDING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS IN WASHINGTON LOBBIEST.

DOES OBAMA HAVE ANY ORIGINAL IDEAS AND ORIGINAL POLICIES AND ORIGINAL SPEECHES?

Joe Liberman has revealed over and over he is a chameleon and opportunist and a traitor to the Democratic Party and thus much of what is good about and for America. Choosing this modern version of "Mr. Haney" on "Green Acres" as his running mate was Al Gore's biggest mistake…..here's hoping that John McCain shows his true colors and makes the same mistake.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THOSE THAT SUPPORT

THESE TWO IDIOTS, IS THAT, IF AMERICA IS LOOTED BY

SPECIAL INTERESTS & WEAKENED HOW DOES THAT

BENEFIT ISRAEL OR ANY ONE.

yeah - that's a change when you don't have experience or don't understand the reality on the ground. it's so depressing.

Senator Lieberman remains loyal to his beliefs and support of Israel. All other issues are addressed only insofar as they lead to support of Israel as he sees such support. The majority of the voters of CT knew of that support before they elected him even though the majority of the people of CT were allegedly against the war in Iraq. Senator Lieberman is presently looking for American military action against Iran because he believes such action is necessary for the security of Israel. Other issues will be handled by him insofar as they do not interfere with his primary concern for Israel or lead to his losing the support of those in power who are necessary to carry out those concerns. The majority of CT voters recognized Senator Lieberman's agenda and are supportive of both what he has done in the past and what he is doing now. He is one of the few contemporary politicians who remains true to what he believes in and many people respect him for that reason even if they do not necessarily share the same beliefs. That is probably why Senator Reid continues to support him. Nevertheless, there are many supporters of Israel who do not believe that the current United States policies in the Middle East are beneficial for Israel or for the United States. It is important to consider other ways of maintaining peace and security in the area short of military means even though the military means ultimately may be needed.

Obama was probably threatening Lieberman when he pulled him aside or saying to him don't you know who I am. I'll get my thugs to take of you if you say a word. After all isn't that the Chicago way?

Lieberman is NOT an Independant. I am sure the only reason he Caucas' with the Dems is to give inside information to the GOP in which he has shown FULL loyalty to .

Think about that for a minute…….Just THINK!

Lieberman???? Why give this guy so much attention, he is a BIG ZERO.

Raz

Jack Cafferty is turning in to kieth O'reilly and Bill Olbermann.
Geeze! so much hate for the clintons what's up with that.

Thanks for trying to hijack our party, Lieberman. It's okay for now. The winds of change are coming, and you are certainly on the wrong side of history. You can stand with McCain, and fall with him for all I care. Don't think the voters will forget again!
