Obama Has Only One Chance Left: Make A Recess Appointment To The Supreme Court

He simply must do it if he hopes to preserve anything decent in America or the possibility of an Obama legacy or simply preserve a shred of hope for the Democratic Party, but Obama is not that kind of man, so he will not do it.  Obama is the man who made Rahm Emanuel his Chief of Staff.  Obama is the man who put James Comey at the head of the FBI.  Obama is not a great man, or a great politician, or a great leader.  Obama will watch his paltry legacy--whatever he believes that legacy to be--lost in time, like tears in the rain.  So very fucking quickly.  And he will not fight it.  Obama is a coward.  A great man would make that recess appointment and create the greatest upheaval in Washington in anyone's living memory.  Through such bold, selfless action, he would give his country, his party, and his legacy a fighting chance of survival.  But he won't.  He lacks the courage and the vision and the love of country.  He's just another failed right-wing politician from what was once called the Democratic Party.
