Probably true, but - in a purely political fa****on - the Democrats, 
urged on by Obama, are probably doing the right thing for their party, 
and for their ability to get legislation through. I'm sure - left to 
their own devices - most of the Democratic Congressmen would prefer to 
see him pu****ng a hot dog cart through the streets of D.C. But keeping 
him on not only fits Obama's general notion of "no drama" but also the 
old adage of "keeping your enemies closer". They got the self-righteous 
old fraud to issue a public statement of contrition - even to the point 
of his admitting he had lied for political leverage. That's pretty 
damning and humiliating stuff to pry out of a man who goes around like a 
pious lizard. At any rate, if he ever "misbehaves" again, his power can 
be easily stripped from him. He actually doesn't have much room to 
maneuver in at the moment. If he rejects the Democratic party altogether 
he will lose what little cache he has left in Connecticut, where he 
promised during his campaign there to caucus with the Dems. If he goes 
back on that, he will be out of office at the next available moment. The 
Dems know he is in a dilemna, and so can reasonably expect him to toe 
the line. That can be useful.
