The more I see of Obama ...

... the more he reminds me of Joe Lieberman.

He (Obama) does not support unions.

Now lest anyone think this back-handed anti-union behavior is confined to Clinton associates like Lehane and Mark Penn, Obama and Oprah are appearing at a non-union venue (apparently blessed by the locals) and Oprah herself runs a non-union shop:

He (Obama) attacked Social Security with Republican lies.

He (Obama) lies about his position on a universal health plan:

Now for the bad news. Although Mr. Obama says he has a plan for universal health care, he actually doesn’t — a point Mr. Edwards made in last night’s debate. The Obama plan doesn’t mandate insurance for adults. So some people would take their chances — and then end up receiving treatment at other people’s expense when they ended up in emergency rooms. In that regard it’s actually weaker than the Schwarzenegger plan.

And lies:

And now, having been caught out on the facts, the Obama people respond with a personal attack, lifting quotes out of context to pretend that I never had problems with the plan. Something is very wrong here.

What Krugman says. There's something wrong here. Obama started out sounding fresh and honest. THEN he saw that he might even have a chance to run for President. He's no longer fresh (just a vicious DC insider after all) and he's certainly NOT honest. He lies like a Republican.

Obama talks about working with Republicans as one without any apparent understanding that, in today's environment, the only way the Republicans work with Democrats is when
1. A Democrat behaves and votes like a Republican (Lieberman)
2. When a Democrat gives into the Republican position completely (Reid, Pelosi) thus betraying the people they claim to represent.

There is no other way of working with the current Republican Party. Obama becomes more Liebermanesque ever day.

We need Democrats who stand for something. Obama does not appears to be one of them.
