2. It is really not "anti-Obama" as much as "why does he keep doing it" type thing

I look at his appointment of Wheeler for FCC commission. The top lobbyist for the telecom industry to regulate the telecom industry. There are plenty of people that would have been a top notch person who favored FCC regulation. He picks a man who wants to remove regulation. It appears now the same for the SEC. Out of thousands of Republicans he could nominate for the position, he nominates the person who wants to stop the SEC from regulating the stock market.

That is what we are talking about. Why keep nominating the foxes to guard the hen houses?

Why do you think any Rethug you'd find acceptable would get approved by the GOP majority pnwmom Nov 2015 #4

If they did not approve the nominee, then the Republicans would be short a vote then, wouldn't they? LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #6
