Discussion for article #231021
So I guess we can officially say Obama is a lame duck now? When two of your own party’s Senators are shutting down your nomination, including one that is increasing having her name thrown out as a potential candidate for your office…it seems pretty clear he is being tossed to the curb.
Well, Democrats, it’s like this. You’re either for the people, or for the banksters. This will force you to self-identify. We are paying attention, trust me.

This is an interesting dispute. I’d like to hear some of Obama’s reasoning on this selection, since it certainly seems to have liberals’ teeth on edge.
I wonder if this might be more of the same thinking that led to the appointment of Tim Geithner – get someone from the belly of the beast who knows where the bodies are buried and still has the roadmap, keeping your enemies close – all of that.
And please don’t misconstrue this as an Obot’s apologist argument. I know nothing of Weiss, except for recent reporting that says he has engineered some mergers and tax inversion deals.
