Reply #4: You're assuming that Lieberman is in a position to hurt Obama [View All]

He is not. He has proven himself to be toothless, not to mention politically tone-deaf. He went after Obama with everything he had and fell on his face. And now he's not even in the same position that he was then - the Democrats don't need him in order to control the Senate.

If he decides not to return Obama's courtesy to him, so what? What's he going to do? He has nothing left to throw at him.

I agree - Obama is a brilliant strategist. And the fact that he's not blinded by the need for revenge but can step back and see the big picture is very impressive to me.
