When Joe Loved Barry

By The Daily Dish

Back in 2006, Joe Lieberman couldn't get enough of Barack Obama, and Obama stoutly defended Lieberman from parts of the anti-war left. Lieberman begged Obama to come to Connecticut to speak on his behalf. It would be a good question for the press to ask Lieberman after his description of Obama as "far-left" today. In what way is Obama "far left" now in a way he wasn't "far left" then?

Of course, no reporter will ask Lieberman this question, will they?
