The second is some Harvard economics professor and the third is Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit who's sorta moderate libertarian. <BR/><BR/>My point was more that Lieberman's postitive comments about Obama's team selections are echoed by other, say, non-Obama-supporters, and it might be less about Lieberman criticizing and then coming back than about Obama moving in a different direction than he indicated while he was campaigning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340783226925700940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732119440525194004.post-11282619924275536712008-12-03T07:18:00.000-08:002008-12-03T07:18:00.000-08:00I take everything Karl Rove says with a huge grain...I take everything Karl Rove says with a huge grain of salt, given his clear agenda. Which was my point, sort of, with Lieberman. He was willing to criticize the Dems when it was expedient, and now that it's expedient that he hang on to his chairmanship, he's back with them.Nora :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00121275890271547209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732119440525194004.post-60005581722574415892008-12-02T16:24:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:24:00.000-08:00I don't think it's Lieberman's behavior that is su...I don't think it's Lieberman's behavior that is surprising here. As evidence I submit the following:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/28447/" REL="nofollow">"PRAISE FOR OBAMA’S 'first-rate economic team' from Karl Rove."</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2008/11/next-team.html" REL="nofollow">"What would you call a group of economists who are skeptical of regulating mortgage markets, who think unemployment insurance and unions increase unemployment, who say that tax hikes retard economic growth, and who believe that the recovery from the Great Depression was a monetary phenomenon rather than the result of New Deal fiscal policy? No, it is not a right-wing cabal. It's Team Obama."</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/28185/" REL="nofollow">"Leaving the Bush tax cuts alone. Putting Iraq-war supporters in as Vice President and Secretary of State. And now keeping Bush’s Defense Secretary on.

From Obama with zero experience getting elected to Hillary as Secretary of State and an Army General as Secretary of Education...I don't get it!<BR/><BR/>When does it all end? When can we return to our American way of life? If Obama keeps his database of volunteers to use while in the White House, does that mean he will continue campaigning since that is all he has done for years? Yikes!
