1. Boom

Well Mr. President

2. Yay, we're nominating the choice of the Republicans.

And we're getting ready to nominate a presidential candidate who is further right than Obama. Joy... joy.... joy...

3. What if it's 3-dimensional chess?

Obama nominates a moderate a majority could accept... if the Republicans were willing to hold a vote.

Obama: "Look, here's a guy you could vote for in good conscience."

Republicans: "Boo!"

Obama: "Okay, I'm very sorry. I'm withdrawing my nominee. Here's a liberal woman of color. Want to hold a vote on her?"

Republicans: "Boo! She's even worse than the other guy! You are so pathetic! Who will you roll out as your next nominee?"

Obama: "Actually... She's the nominee and I won't put another guy forward. You should have voted on the moderate. Now you'll have to vote on a liberal nominee."

Republicans: "First a moderate, then a liberal... but no conservative! You are politicizing the process!"

4. Are you against everything that Republicans support?

If Republicans are against terrorism, should Democrats support it?

6. Did it ever occur to you that maybe it was Hatch being helpful?

That is possible, you know.
