OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT:

Lazard Ltd. banker Antonio Weiss, President Barack Obama's pick for a senior Treasury Department post, hasn't even met with a single lawmaker on Capitol Hill yet. But a growing number of Democrats have already decided they don't like him, and the list keeps growing.

Late Wednesday, Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) joined Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.), Joe Manchin (D., W.V.), Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), Richard Durbin (D., Ill.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) in announcing opposition to Mr. Weiss, who the White House wants to serve as under secretary for domestic finance.
