You gotta hand it to Lieberman, the guy comes across as a kind of rube but he's got brass ones and more lives than a reincarnated cat.

I am grateful for Obama using his "Head of the Democrat Party" influence to make sure that his promise to change the petty politics of the past would be kept. It would have been the absolute wrong move to take revenge against JL in light of Obama's "Change We Can Believe In" mantra throughout the campaign.
He has a long way to go with me, but BO wins my praise on this one. Making Lieberman "pay the piper" would've been a stupid move.
