Wouldn't half be enough?

The right-wing calls every Obama nominee "radical." They did the same thing to Sonia Sotomayor. Their tactic is to scrape up innuendo in hopes of derailing well qualified nominees. We should pay no attention to their charges.

Doesn't it matter to you who we place in high positions? This is why we ended up with Barack Obama, notonly for one term, but now too, because of the abject ignorance of American voters, who refused to believe that Barack Obama is a Marxist/socialist, even though there is a mountain of evidence, not the least of which is his own book.

Our Constitution is being shredded, and our freedom being trampled by these people right under our noses, and you couldn't care less!

Of course, if you too are Marxist, I guess you would love these radicals. Which is it? Ignorance, or you agree with them? It's one or the other.
Cesar Chavez died in 1993. Why do you think he wouldn't be qualified for high office?
We refused to believe that Barack Obama is a Marxist/socialist, because he isn't one, in spite of the right wing fantasy that he is.
After eight years of Bush, who tapped american's phones without warrant; arrested Americans without charges and fraudulently got us into a war, it's telling that the wing nuts now think that the constitution is being shredded under Obama. Were you living in a cave during Bush's two terms?

There is a segment complaining about Obama that did indeed complain about Bush. There is also a group that complained about Bush that is now quiet about Obama doing many of the same things they disliked Bush for.

There are some problems with Sonia Sotomayor, and she is racist. She is also a proponent of Sharia Law in cases involving Muslims in US courts. There was good reason to oppose her appointment. She is not a fair and impartial jurist.

You must have forgotten the Democrats filibuster of Miguel Estrada, Bush nominee to the D.C. Ciruit court of appeals. We could claim this was racist, could we not? We would be wrong. It was because he was conservative. But you get the point.

We oppose jurists who are poor choices because they are too left wing, and not impartial, and you liberals claim "racism." Never mind that Sotomayor is a supporter of Sharia, and believes in taking race into account in her decisions.

Lefties would probably be okay voting for a senator who was once a grand dragon of the KKK, then honor him at his death......oh, right.

Whether the president is right about GOP senators remains to be seen.
As they say, I wrote the book on Tom Perez. My New York Times bestseller Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department is largely a catalog of the rancid racialism over which Perez has presided.
The New Black Panther case is one small part. But so are the eighth-grade transvestite lawsuits in New York, and so are the race quotas in New York City. PJ Media has been covering Perez in a way that no other outlet has for the last three years: his wars on peaceful Catholic pro-life protesters, his dishonesty under oath, and his overruling of career DOJ lawyers in the South Carolina Voter ID case are but three more from a long list of radical transgressions.
Make no mistake — that’s why Obama appointed him.
Obama knows power is fleeting. You have a short amount of time to affect a large amount of change. He knows Perez is an unapologetic leftist from the Hugo Chavez-wing of the Democrat Party. (Not an exaggeration: Chavez once had Citgo make a payment to Perez’s illegal alien advocacy group Casa de Maryland.)
Below, a list of some of PJ Media’s coverage:

In his defense, it's the rare politician who doesn't lie, so I guess Perez being just another political hack won't matter.

Yeah, because nobody ever testifies and gives information that is wrong.
