38. I think Obama knew before he got to the WH.

He slapped the left in the face with Rick Warren on inauguration day, forced or "allowed" Dean to exit, and chose Rahm Emanuel. And after that he never looked back appointing conservative after conservative. He embraced the Patriot Act and domestic spying. He kept the right wing Bush teams for economy and the intelligence agencies. And then Penny Pritzker, the Mitt Romney with a "D".

It's interesting seeing the Con-Dems try to rationalize Pres Obama's stands and appointments. They will tell you from one side of their face that they hate Republicans and out the other side say it's pragmatic for Pres Obama to appoint Republicans or DINO's.

The Con-Dems claim to hate Republicans yet fail to see the hypocrisy of worshiping Gen Clapper and Gen Alexander while disparaging Rep Grayson.
