In reply to the discussion: Washington Post hits the nail on the head, on what made Summers withdraw his nomination to the Fed [View all]Jakes Progress
(11,122 posts)Fiction is made up. it is not making up things to realize that Obama would need several republican votes for summers to receive enough votes to be put into the office that he wanted.
Were you just so set on posting some negative reply to a post that does not agree with Obama's desire to perpetuate the wall street stranglehold on our government that you used the word unadvisedly? Are you unaware of how confirmation works? Where do you see a scenario where summers would be confirmed without a single republican vote? With only a two vote majority (okay four if you count independents), in what world would the president be able to muster all 52 Democrats for a nomination like summers? Wouldn't that mean that he would need republican support? So how is it fiction to suggest that the president would need to have republican support?
