No Drama

President-elect Obama is so much better than me.

This, incidentally, is the other side of No Drama Obama: Part of avoiding drama is refusing to make decisions based on your own drama. You're seeing it with Lieberman and you're seeing it with Clinton. Whatever the objective strategic merits of these moves, Obama is building out his administration with little heed to the resentments and hurt feelings of the campaign. He's letting the campaign drama die so that his agenda may live.

I'd take away Lieberman's chairmanship in a heartbeat.

This temperament is exactly why he will get things accomplished as President.

(By the way, I like saying President-elect Obama.)
