re: #140 SixDegrees

To be frank, I think just about everyone is uncomfortable simply because she was nominated by Obama. I also think that if Obama were to nominate Robert Bork, we would suddenly be hearing criticisms and suspicions raised over Bork’s cherry-picked statements as well. Guilt by association.

Well, it stands to reason that if I do not trust Obama’s judgment, then I will be uncomfortable with the decisions and nominations made, at least until I have more information. That is not unreasonable.

It actually appears to me (junderstanding I don’t have a lot of info. just yet), that given my ideological differences with the O, she might not be such a bad choice.
