Will Barack Obama Ever Grow A Pair?

Barack the Fearless strikes again:

As President Obama finished his speech to the Democratic caucus in the Capitol's Mansfield Room on Sunday afternoon, Joe Lieberman made his way over to Harry Reid.

The independent who still caucuses with Democrats wanted to point something out to the Majority Leader: Obama didn't mention the public option.

Lieberman was beaming as he left the room and happy to re-point it out when HuffPost asked him what Obama had said about the public health insurance option, perhaps the most contentious issue still facing Democrats as they negotiate their way toward a final health care reform bill.

Does the fact that Barack can spend 30 minutes boviating about health insurance reform to the entire body of currently elected Democratic senators and not mention the public option mean anything? Not to Harry Reid:

Reid told reporters that Lieberman had approached him after the meeting to note the absence of the public option, but that folks shouldn't read too much into Obama's silence on the issue. "That doesn't mean it's not an issue, because the president didn't talk about it," said Reid.

Then again, Harry Reid thinks radios work because there are tiny people in them playing equally tiny musical instruments.

Barack Obama worries me, but not excessively. That's because it is now quite obvious that he's a world-class pussy, and world-class pussies just don't worry me all that much. If Barack Obama should be worrying anyone, it is progressives...

Progressives aren't smart enough to worry. Blissful ignorance and frothing disbelief are the most they can manage.

Hey, Dennis, you irrepressible urchin... don't be so hard on Obie. After all, he was rushing to catch a plane and collect his peace prize in the middle of a troop deployment.

'Then again, Harry Reid thinks radios work because there are tiny people in them playing equally tiny musical instruments.'

Does that mean Harry worries about Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh hiding in little boxes in his house? I like the image. Just when you thought Chuckie (the doll, not Schumer) was bad enough...

Don't worry about the Progs, Rager. Spittle and slack-jaw will be treatable conditions under Obamacare, sneers and teeth-grinding from the other side of the aisle not so much.
