Hand-picked yes, but out of a group of possible contenders including Jesse Jackson Jr.
Consider a moment his opposition
:
McCain in 2008
Romney in 2012
Do you honestly think that either of those would be for a Constitutionally limited government?
(Consider McCain is co-sponsor of McCain-Feingold and Romney father of RomneyCare.)
I think it's a bit more than just Obama was hand-picked
, but that both times both candidates were hand-picked.
Cui bono?
