Some of the nominees may not be as leftward as we'd like:
While some liberals and conservatives may have visions of a looming slate of dyed-in-the-wool Obama liberal nominees, few students of the president’s nominating record expect him to make a bold move to try to reshape the federal bench.
Stone said he doesn’t expect Obama to capitalize on the so-called nuclear option by quickly nominating a slate of liberals.
“It’s not his style to take advantage of this by stuffing it down the throat of Republicans and suddenly jamming them with 20 liberal judges. Lyndon Johnson might have done that, but that’s not Obama’s style,” Stone said.
“I don’t think the White House will nominate a steady diet of real progressives, but it does seem to me a chance to put some real superstars on the bench,” Yeomans added.

You don't need to be an asshole to get shit done. An asshole is someone who uses the tactics of a bully to get whatever it is they want.
Fuck assholes.

OK let's call LBJ a jerk, which he was. And a bully, and mean. I don't think Obama is really any of those, at least not as a part of his personality.

cool random definition of asshole

You could always chime in your definition if you don't agree.
― Multiple Miggs (dandydonweiner), Friday, 22 November 2013 22:06 (twelve years ago)
there is so satisfying definition of asshole in this context, asshole is just used to assert a basic badness about whatever politician so you can all high five each other re how well you have stood in moral judgement of them and then move on to even deeper conversations about like maybe you need to be an asshole to get stuff done
