Lieberman Keeps Chairmanship

I see Senator Joe Lieberman will retain his role as chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, thanks to Barack Obama.  Many Democrat leaders, like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, were attempted to oust him out of the position because they were angry he supported John McCain.  They were putting themselves and their party first, ahead of their country.  I am glad Obama took the high ground; he should be looked up to for putting any hard feelings behind him. Other Democratic leaders should take note if this and act more maturely.  There are too many challenges to worry about right now to care about such petty, childish things as revenge.  Perhaps Barack Obama has learned this.  Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come, with Obama taking on the leaders of his party who have led the most unpopular, unaccomplished congress ever the last two years.
