(27,787 posts)I did not say appease them, that is your word.
Selecting a Republican for some position is not "appeasing" anyone. You pick some one who you think will do a good job, and who will not be afraid to tell you their position, even if its one you might not agree with.
And I did not claim you marched in lockstep with Obama as the RW did with Bush. In reality, Bush marched in lock step with those RW nuts, not the other way around.
Did you know that the far right wing is just as sure as you are that it is THEY who are right. And given the chance, many of them would totally ignore your positions too. And they'd select leaders who would, and do, ignore your views.
And they would see YOU as the one who needs to be educated ... they would see YOU as too stupid to know what is good for YOU. Sound familiar?
You don't realize it, but you are acting very much like they do. They expected Bush to walk in lock step with them. You expect Obama do the same.
A President should not govern that way.
