That she got through with such a huge Vote does make one wonder, though. She must have been much beloved.......but was it REALLY such a good appointment for Obama..given her background...or he needed to "Fill a Slot" and "word was" she would fit what he needed?
I don't know, anymore. I see him pushed by the RIGHT to always Compromise to Who and What can get Approval. But, he's never one to FIGHT in the Trenches even with his Electorial Mandate for the "Change We Can Believe In." It's gotta be hard for him "IF" he believed what he said on his Campaign Trail.

Best I can say is that he's a calm figure who deliberates, when it suits him, and he pushed back on Syrian Invasion. So...We Shall See. Maybe it TRULY HAS gotten SO BAD that President's Elected have very little power...
