At last, at last. Obama has realised that the Right Wing will go ape (complete with feces-flinging) over anything he does, so he’s doing what he wants.
President Obama thinks Republicans will engage in a full battle over his Supreme Court nominee regardless of the person’s ideological leanings, and in some ways “that realization is liberating for the president” to choose whomever he pleases, an administration official told TPMDC.
Oh, the irony. By being obstructive and tantrum-prone, Republicans are getting less than they would if they were reasonable.
It wasn’t always this way though. Democrats used to try to appease these apoplectic apes. Remember when ‘bipartisan’ was the buzzword? But bipartisanship only works when one party isn’t comprised of psychos.
I hope this is how Democrats do things in future. Ignore the antics and get on with the work, as the Party of Crazy sinks to irrelevance.

He just now realised something which has been completely obvious for years now?

Good. This whole philosophy of compromising with everybody as an end unto itself as opposed to a means for getting things done is a problem when a big chunk of the people have "make Obama fail" as their explicit, expressed goal. He's consequently been saddled with the stupid strategy of "I'm so committed to being the compromise guy that I will appease you by failing a bit."
