WH In Bubble-Don't They Know This Story Will Explode As Soon As They Nominate Summers?

Are they so in the bubble in the White House that they don’t think this story won’t explode as soon as they nominate Summers? I guess so. Well, the fireworks this Fall will certainly be interesting.

in understanding or appreciating what goes into the thought process in terms of such a nominee.

If I were President, I would NOT give Summers a second look.

I am feeling a "tight inner circle" thing going on with President Obama, and do not claim to understand it one whit.

Sorry.

pretty much has been confirmed by me and many others based a series of choices they have made lately that baffles even the staunchest of supporters.
