Joe Lieberman and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but he had an extraordinary career in public service, including four decades spent fighting for the people of Connecticut. He also worked hard to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and helped us pass the Affordable Care Act. In both cases the politics were difficult, but he stuck to his principles because he knew it was the right thing to do. Michelle and I extend our deepest condolences to Hadassah and the Lieberman family.
@BarackObama Joe Lieberman reminds me of a time when politics was simpler. He will be missed.
@krassenstein @BarackObama You’re preaching to the man that made things complicated.
@krassenstein @BarackObama Politics were never simpler, people just didn’t know how big the corruption was
Exactly! ...a time when Congress was there to actually do what's best for America. 🤔
@krassenstein @BarackObama I like Joe. Always did. He was a true moderate even before he moved from being a dem to an independent for a time. But he also reminds me of the 2000 Gore recount mess, a time when the country was less divided than today but still divided.
@krassenstein @BarackObama one of the few who really wanted to work across the aisle.
@krassenstein @BarackObama Was politics simpler, or is it the same and we're simpler?
@krassenstein @BarackObama An innocent time gone by, R.I.P. Lieberman ( live man or free man) depending on you you translate
@krassenstein @BarackObama He was a nice guy.
@krassenstein Look at you! Talking to the guy that pays your shill fees….
@krassenstein @BarackObama Won't be missed by Americans
