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]Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)...but liberals didn't do this by themselves. They don't have that much power or sway. Sorry, guys, but don't pat yourselves on the back too hard. I don't think Obama ever intended to nominate Summers. This was all a front. He knew that there was no way Summers would be confirmed in the first place. See, I think we liberals continue to make a mistake when it comes to President Obama...many liberals think they are smarter than President Obama. They are not. They think they know better than President Obama. They don't. They think they know what goes on behind the scenes. They don't. They think they have common knowledge about how politics works. They don't. None of us do.
Bottom line: Stop thinking that you know better than the president. You don't. I don't. None of us do.
