Is Orrin Hatch suggesting that Obama has a liberal mandate?



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

I was reading the Republicans' canned criticism of Obama's Supreme Court nominee, even though Obama has yet to even announce a nominee. And I came upon this little gem from GOP Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah.

"There's no doubt in my eyes that [Obama's] going to nominate somebody who is far to the left of where I am. And I mean -- he was elected as probably the most liberal president in history, and there are all kinds of expectations by him on the far left."
Well, if Obama was elected as "probably the most liberal president in history," then the American people took that into account when they gave Obama his massive electoral landslide last November over a candidate representing Orrin Hatch's views of the world.
