The way you have it set up, either:

A) Obama supporters defend a potential Summers pick, making them brainless apologists; or

B) Obama supporters don't defend a potential Summers pick, making them programmed brainless drones.

It doesn't occur to you that Obama supporters are human beings, and that sometimes they disagree with Obama, and that Larry Summers would be such an awful choice that no one is willing to endorse it.

Note, by the way, that virtually no one outside of DU is advocating for Summers either.
