His nickname is now il douche.....

This whitehouse weenie actually patterned his pose after that of Mussolini. What a meglomaniac, narcissist, a-hole. This is the curse of our lifetime...he must be removed.
Yes, and it seems so akin to stances taken by Hamas and other Islamic jihadists “grievance claims” against Israel. IF only “Christians, Jews did not exist to plague us” seems to apply to Republicans in this case. “Bushes fault” is a tactic straight out of an Islamic grievance playbook. How come this has not been explored and highlighted?
Right. Didn’t Reid have someone, or maybe it him, open the Senate for a few minutes and close it when they were on recess, so that he could say the Senate wasn’t technically on recess because it was opened everyday. Therefore, he was able to block Bush’s nominations.

Should’ve been a “?” instead of a “.” after “everyday”.
Thank you saul alinsky...we read your book, pig.
The democrats had 60 votes for a good part of last year when these nominees were being “held up”.
The truth is that Reid didn’t want his own democrat senators to have to vote for these nominees. Reid never brought them to the floor for a vote.
LOL! -- Me thinks there may be less than 50 in the not too distant future.
We do now, but republicans would have loved to have had a debate on these nominees. Reid refused to even bring them to the floor of the senate — he didn’t want a debate on the nominations.
And last year they had 60 votes and could have gotten through any filibuster — but it would have required an actual floor debate, and like I said, they didn’t want one of those.
States with Right-to-Work laws included Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming. Obama’s recess appointments of Craig Becker and Mark Pearce will lead to attempts by the NLRB to circumvent these laws.
“I simply cannot allow partisan politics to stand in the way of the basic functioning of government,” said Obama...
What an @sshat.
I believe Obama plans to run for only one-term. Dictator for life. He is making all the decisions along with his crony czars. Congress has become obsolete-it will be too late for them to realize they have been nothing but useful idiots-the sock puppet press also.
The Democrats kept the Senate open during the last two years of Bush's presidency (when the Donkeys first got control of the Senate) and held proforma sessions (or whatever it was called) for something stupid like 2 minutes a day in order to say that Congress was not in recess. The Republicans could not do the same, unless they held control of the Senate (and/or the House).

Obama accused Republicans of playing politics by obstructing his nominations....
Bush used recess appointments, until the democrats took over the senate and stopped having recess.
“Seems to me the junior senator from VA, James Webb, made an appearance each day during a recess in order to prevent Dubya from making any appointments. Why can’t the pubbies do the same thing ... huh?”
They still want to get along in the club and haven’t developed the will to fight.
