I had no idea he was anointed. Actually he said for a weeks he didn't want it. I also think that in a month he will wish he had not said yes.

The word is "nominated". I figure the Repubican Caucus, assuming the funding and debt limit passes, will unite behind him until January-ish when the work starts up again.

I think he is being rewarded for his part in the Obama Trade fiasco. He is certainly being backed by the GOP leadership, the House Democrats, and the mainstream media.
