I think his party is Republican, and he leads by reverse psychology. I've been trying to figure his problem out. Decided it goes back too trying to organize a community, about which I no less than nothing, but... What does it mean to organize for community change?Community organizing is the process by which people come together to identify common problems or goals, mobilize resources, and, in other ways, develop and implement strategies for reaching the objectives they want to accomplish. ctb.ku.edu That's not us, at the moment. We have a common nation, the US, but we don't have common problems. Dems see a problem for immigrants, R's see 11 M undocumented scumbags. D's see sick people dying in bankruptcy, R's see the free market creating the best health care system ever. I's see people fighting. Can't organize that community. If you want to do something, this is a job for raw political muscle. Obama doesn't play that game. If he did, Joe Lieberman would have been kicked out of the caucus as an object lesson, instead of being allowed to stall Obamacare for what seemed like 6 months.... President-elect Barack Obama has informed party officials that he wants Joe Lieberman to continue caucusing with the Democrats in the 111th Congress, Senate aides tell the Huffington Post. Obama's decision could tie the hands of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has been negotiating to remove Lieberman as chair of the Homeland Security and Government Reform committee while keeping him within the caucus. Lieberman has insisted that he will split from the Democrats if his homeland security position is stripped. huffingtonpost.com
