The last paragraph:

It’s also a setback for Obama, who is fiercely loyal to his aides but has now on several occasions seen his preferred candidates for jobs lose out as a result of political opposition. It’s especially painful given that it’s Obama’s own party that cost Summers the nomination.

The Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms will paint this as the Republicans denying Ubama his choice.

The femi-nazi’s did him in at Harvard ...

Well, there's a bit more. It was an MIT biologist that was the final straw.

However, he was trying to revamp Harvard's School of Education, told Cornel West to stop making rap records, and get back in the classroom (probably less damage from rapping, but Harvard was paying him to teach...), but what really put them over the edge was suggesting that there might be a difference between the genders. The (female) MIT biologist went into a tizzy that finally galvanized the both the S.W.I.N.E and professors of FAS.

I was willing to cut him slack (for being a Clintonista), but after he stuck with BHO for as long as he did while Obamanomics all but killed the economy, good riddance to a bad and unprincipled economist.

Obama.....So tell us again why you seem to always disqualify a Christian Protestant or Catholic for the short list for chair of the Fed. Regarding our non representation on the SCOTUS we Protestants are fairly honest and competent too.
