They said "He should appoint a Republican as SecTreas if he wanted to be bold and dynamic, but we hear he will appoint Lew from within his administration" (the implication being that doing the former would be lame and conventional). Yeah, it's so conventional to appoint your own people who share your philosophy and approach to key positions in your administration! How droll.

These people are not going to quit. Luckily, Obama outsmarts them every time.
