<<but koan, what do we do? You apply the same logic and leave your emotions at home. Voting for a Republican or anyone else could lead to a nuclear war and a worsening of the fascist supreme court, not to mention greatly strengthening teh already entrenched plutocracy. Obama's two supreme court nominees were fine. I would have preferred a younger vigorous far left Felix Franfurter. But they were both fine moserates and both voted against the citizens United Decision. We liberals all stood back longer than we would have (e.g. LBJ and the Viet Nam war) wanting to give Obama a fair choice and hoping he was just out thinking us. We now know that was not the case. But as a democrat, is subject to the pressures of the democratic party and congressional black caucus. So he will be fine, just frustrating e.g. he replaced summers with Alan Kreuger. Outside of Volker, Stiglitz and krugman, Kreuger is among he best. And the most important thing right now is repealing the citizens United Decision and not allowing another sociopathic right wing appointment to the court. So Obama for four more years and then I think dems will control congress for a long time like during the New Deal, FDR period.
