OK, so President (No, really, it's about change) Obama has his serial-lying Wall Street insider Scientists have begun drilling to a planned depth of three-quarters of a mile in southeastern Washington basalt. The goal? To see if officially confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury.
BUT...
How often has a new president had muliple members of his own party vote against a Cabinet nominee? (Three Democrats, plus Bernie Sanders, said "nyet" to Geithner.)
Meanwhile, from here in Texas, Crackpot John Cornyn showed:
A. How crackpot clueless he really is;
B. How much he's playing politics with Obama nominations, such as his Clinton stunt;
By voting YES on Geithner.
The principled Russ Feingold and oft-principled (except Big Ag subsidies) Tom Harkin voted no, as did Robert Byrd and Sanders.
Question.
Given the talking point I mentioned, that multiple no votes from ones own party in the Senate, when it's in the majority, for a Cabinet nominee is rare, will Obama listen?
