Obama hasn't punished him, so how can that be a lie?

He ran as an independent for his senate seat, Daihashi, but he wanted to come back to the Democratic party after the election.

Democrats have been upset with Lieberman since 2006, when he lost in the senate primaries so ran as an independent and won. It's not just because he spoke at the Republican National Convention and said things like "After all, what's a democrat like me doing at the RNC?"

Apparently, the democrats are letting him back in to the party and he's been very apologetic so it looks like the democrats solved this issue amicably. Not sure how I feel about it after what he said during the campaign but it's not my choice to make.
