Greenwald misses the boat on Obama-Lieberman

It’s rare when Glenn is off track, but this post about Obama’s comments in the Lieberman-Democratic caucus issue are a bit off.

The problem is that Glenn accepts Obama’s comments that Lieberman’s future with the Senate Democratic caucus is solely a matter for the Senate Democratic caucus at face value.

If Obama really felt that, he didn’t have to say anything. But, by issuing a “statement,” it appears he’s also implying that, via surrogate Chris Dodd or somebody, he’d like to be “consulted.”
