In reply to the discussion: Democrat Harry Reid backs Republican for Supreme Court [View all]How many times are Democrats going to fall for this. Every time Obama caves Democrats come out and say he is just playing to chess to te Republican's checkers, or it is Obama's great political kung fu that he is setting in motion.
The truth is Obama is not playing any games here. It is not a trial balloon or some political trick to show up republicans. Obama has never been some great political strategist. He has never been a great politician like Johnson or FDR. He simply hates politics and has never put in the time and effort it takes to win politically. He never has made the connections or made political allies in the Congress or with world leaders. To do this it takes time and effort and Obama just hates that part of the job and never wanted to make the effort.
And this is one of the reasons why he always is on the short end.
So Democrats need to just admit it to themselves that this is Obama's true intentions. He does want to nominate a Republican to the SC. In the history of the US political system there has never been a president to nominate or give so many positions to the other party. It is insane. I have no knowledge of a president nominating to the SC a person of the opposite party. Why the hell vote for a certain party if that party is going to just appoint those to office's who hold opposing views. That is the whole purpose of voting. A person is aligned to a specific party based on the same political, social, economic views.
The problem is Obama has never had a specific ideology. The only reason he is a Democrat is because he is from Chicago and the dems are the strongest political party in Chicago. I still cannot for the life of me describe what Obama's tenure as president is about. If someone mentions Teddy Roosevelt, you know what he is about and what he wanted to bring to the WH, same thing with FDR, Johnson, Reagan. But with Obama I cannot come up with any type of political philosophy. The man just has no belief system. This is why he constantly rolls over for Republicans, constantly appoints R's to powerful positions, and now wants to appoint a R to the SC.
Who knows maybe some of the Republican obstructionism has saved us from some of Obama's worst tendencies. If it was not for Republican obstructionism he would of already cut social security. Maybe Republican obstructionism regarding the SC will save us from a Republican SC appointment.
I cannot stress this enough it is like we live in bizarro world where a Democratic President appoints a Republican to the SC. It is just bat-shit crazy and there is 0 excuse for it. This shows Obama cares very little about the Democratic party or the millions who voted for him. The SC appointment is nothing but a box he needs to check off in order to say he filled the position.
And any Democrat who is ok with this has lost their minds and their loyalty has gone into the insane realms of outright hero worship.
