Lieberman 2006: I Will Help Obama “Reach to the Stars”

Here we see Joe Lieberman, the man who begged Barack Obama to help him at his moment of need, which Obama did, describe Obama back then:

“As far as I’m concerned [Barack Obama] is a ‘Baruch,’ which means a blessing. He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America, and to our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country.”

And yet now, Lieberman feels he has to back McCain, such is the Democratic "surge to the left" in Lieberman's eyes. This "blessing" for "our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows" is no longer even a safe pair of hands in Joe's eyes.

Indeed, this snake will now speak at the RNC against Obama and for McCain.
