If you criticize Reid, but not Obama, then YOU are the spineless ones

[Enrique]

I'm talking about the Bernanke nomination.

Maybe Reid is spineless, who knows.

But what about us? I'm seeing Reid being criticized, but not Obama. Why is that? My answer, it's because Reid is an easier target than Obama. People don't want to criticize Obama, because he's popular.

Wtf is that? I mean come on, that is really weak sauce, as Cenk from the Young Turks would say.

If you don't like the Bernanke nomination, then tell it to the guy that nominated him for chrissakes. Even if he's popular.

1. Are you kidding, we've been looking to get rid of Pelosi and Reid for years ....!!

[demosincebirth]

2. Who would you recommend?

[defendandprotect]

7. Howard Dean . ..Dick Durbin ... Byron Dorgan . . .

Franken would even be better --

I like my Sen. Menendez ... fairly liberal -- at the moment, at least!

How many liberals are left in the Senate?!!!

Pretty much none --

A few pretenders . . .

But that doesn't mean that we have to be happy with Reid -- a Nevada Repug "lite" as

one of his Nevada constituents called him -- or Pelosi who's doing favors for the

US Catholic Bishops and talking to Rome on the phone!

If you can find a liberal in either the USHR or the Senate -- I'll take them.

14. Brooksley Born would be great. And it would be poetic justice as well.

Considering that she warned Wall Street about the Total Collapse that their policies of continual gambles would lead to.

Then their response was to laugh at her and tried to take her down in part because she is a woman, and in part because she is a moral person.

4. You're right

but Reid is still weak and spineless.

[MadBadger]

5. People dont want to criticize Obama?

What site are you looking at?

[Enrique]

6. they're not criticizing him on Bernanke

or did I miss it?

[suzie]

9. There haven't been 56 threads criticizing Obama on Bernanke yet.

Therefore, all the other threads criticizing Obama for every single thing he's done, including his choice of a family dog, don't count.

[Enrique]

10. how about one?

[Captain Hilts]

8. That's why folks blame EVERYTHING on Emanuel. They don't want to criticize the president. nt

11. The simple fact is, with enough pressure Obama CAN fire Rahm.

No matter what we might say about Obama, he's there for the next 3 year at least.

You think he doesn't know that every criticism of Rahm is also a criticism of the guy who put him where he is?

12. It is so much easier to trash everyone that way we all lose but Jane wins so that's all that matters
