Wow, so much is going on today! But this one’s a real goodie, if you’ve missed it on TPM. Apparently, Obama and Lieberman got into rather an animated conversation on the floor of the Senate today. There’s some suggestion that the fact that Lieberman has chosen to go on the attack with the Republicans against Obama is not sitting well with the presumptive nominee:
Talking Points Memo | Conversation
While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.
Well, it’s about time someone got in Lieb’s face. This could be about the campaign appearances or it could also have something to do with AIPAC, which is an alternative.
