If there were any doubts about the intelligence, wisdom and vision of President Obama, it was quashed today with his Supreme Court pick, Sonia Sotomayor. The GOP was spoiling for a fight and our President said, "let's dance". With all their huffing and puffing, the right ended up taking a thud without a shot being fired. So what are they going to say to a female, Hispanic nominee who is an embodiment of what is great about our nation. Who and what are they going to fight at this point? Republicans are already taking heat for their shrill treatment of Latinos, so who are they fooling.
This pick by our President took the hot air out of the fight the GOP wanted. Yet again they don't understand the dynamics of what is going on in our nation. Americans in the 21st century want problems solved, plain and simple. We are not interested in fighting, shouting or submitting to the right or left. Our economic environment has sucked that fight out of us, if we fight we do it to solve issues, not dictate who gets what.
The GOP has not understood this and are in the process being further marginalized to being a party of angry people, especially white males. It's time for these people to either get on the train or be left behind.
The choice is theirs...
