That's the thing that's hard to determine: if he gave up because of Lieberman or if Lieberman was the cover for backing off.
I didn't think so at the time, but given the track record and actions of the party since then? I kinda do feel Obama wasn't so all-in for it.
No, it was pretty clear. And if it was a cover then it was the party telling Obama he couldn't have it. He'd never have proposed it if he didn't want it on the table.
