I understand Obama wanting to go on record as not holding a grudge about Lieberman campaigning for McCain. I don't believe he should keep his chair. I suspect they simply want him to continue to caucus with democrats so he doesn't go over to the other side. But my thoughts are that Lieberman put the lobbyists for weapons industries and defense contracts ahead of the interests of the people. He did MORE than just campaign for McCain, he contributed to the outrageous lies about Barack and Democrats in general stating he "feared for the country if democrats got a filibuster proof majority..
What good is he?
No good.
Give him the boot Democrats, on principle he is no ally.
He chairs the dept. responsible for oversight among other things and never once lifted a finger to question the Bush adm.
(In contrast his counterpart in the house, Henry Waxman initiated many investigations).
Let Lieberman run in New England as a republican, it will end his stain on politics once and for all.
