Pick someone like himself?

You mean a corrupt machine politician with extreme leftist views who lies their way through their political life with the aid of their friends in media?

Obama told reporters last week that he wanted to appoint someone with an “independent mind” and with a “a quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people’s hopes and struggles.”

What about just interpreting the $#^@& law that The Peoples' elected representatives have passed and confirming the Constitution isn't breached?!?

Right, now Obama’s a “moderate coalition builder.”

Obviously they do.

It is statements like this that prove to me that Obama's disciples are stuck on stupid. Do they really believe that Obama, Mr. I Won, is a "moderate coalition-builder?" There is no way he is ever going achieve bipartisanship as long as he continues to ridicule the GOP.

Anyone who believes that OBozo will appoint anyone other than a commie hasn’t been paying attention.

Obama’s a “moderate” now? I gotcha.

Ignore the fact that he was the most liberal U.S. Senator. Ignore the fact that he was only 1 of 18 leftwing radicals to vote against both Roberts and Alito, joining “moderates” such as Bernie Sanders, Barbara Boxer, and Ted Kennedy.

But he’s now a “concesus builder.”

We (meaning normal non-rabid thinking folks unlike libs) need to give Obama grief on any of his choices to replace Souter. Fight him every step of the way, expose dirt on his choices, ridicule his nominees. That’s what the libs have done to conservative nominees. It’s time to fight back. It doesn’t matter that it’s a leftist replacing a leftist. It’s payback time.

Most FReepers would consider an Obummer centrist a Bader Ginsburg acolyte.

Obama is a centrist ... He’s halfway between a national socialist and a soviet socialist.
