Obama Indicates Support for Bush to Stay

Following his call for Joe Lieberman to remain in the Democratic caucus, President-elect Barack Obama has gone one step further expressing his desire to allow President Bush to continue as President for the next four years.

"It's unprecedented, but after the Lieberman reprieve it's not surprising," said presidential historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin. "Allowing Lieberman to retain his Chairmanship of the Department of Homeland Security Committee comes straight out of the George Washington play book, where our first president proposed to forgive traitor Benedict Arnold and allow him to stay in charge of the WGISRP(Watch The Guys In the Short Red Pants) - a precursor of today's CIA. It also demonstrates a sincere willingness to reach across the aisle that we haven't seen since Washington sought to keep England's George III as King of America."

If you really are so concerned about Lieberman's role in the Democratic Caucus, I expect to see you campaigning for his Democratic opponent the next time he is up for re-election.

As for Obama's handling of Lieberman, of course he wants him to stay in the caucus; it doesn't mean he wants him to keep his chairmanship.

I guess we will have to see if Obama goes vindictive or pragmatic.

This seems a bit of a ridiculous analogy to make... or wait, maybe this was supposed to be funny? I'm not laughing.
