You got the wrong number for the blocks on Bush nominees. Read up on it.Let's see: The Democrats blocked 5 of Bush's nominees in the 8 years of his Presidency.
The Republicans have blocked 77 of Obamas appointments in a year and a half.
It's clear (and no secret whatsoever) that the Republicans have adopted a policy of absolute obstruction in every way they possibly can. It has NOTHING to do with Obama's appointees, only with the republicans political strategy.
It is also very clear that the Republicans are NOT fulfilling their oaths of office: The are not executing the duties of their office, but are instead abusing the powers of their office to execute their obstructionist polical policy.
Man,Pelosi & Reid used to have their mugs plastered all over CNN,NBC and the NY Times,whining about how "Evil" Recess Appointments were when the other side was in power. They couldn't get enough air-time screeching about that stuff. Where are they today on their Hopey Changey's Recess Appointments? Not a peep out of them today. What a scam.
Senator McConnell, isn't a recess appointment of Bolton -- and as we've pointed out, it's been done by presidents of both sides -- but isn't it going make the atmosphere in the Senate even more poisonous?
MCCONNELL: No, I don't think so.
I mean, typically senators who are not of the party of the president don't like recess appointments. I think Chris and I would both stipulate that. But, look, Bolton's been sort of twisting in the wind since March.

The Republicans are blocking all they can against the march of Marxism into what has been a democratic republic for over 200 years. Obama is showing that he will cram his Marxism into being as our operating system if left unchecked.
I do hope Obama fails in his attempt to change our government. Kudos to the Republicans that stand in his way.
All you Marxist worshipers just remember, when the health care control bill is implemented and the IRS controls you completely...I told you so!

Jealous of the left using the right's tricks?
You are getting Bolton Dammit!

I took those numbers from a CNN article that read on this issue...I wouldn't swaer by them, but the Democrats never adopted a policy of blocking each and every appointment for no reason other than a Republican President had made them. If the Democrats blocked appointments it was based on the merits of that individual appointee.
Secondly, your use of the terms 'Marxist', 'Socialist' and 'Communist' are just plain idiotic.
You obviously do not know what these terms mean.
Your definition of these terms seems to be: "Anyone that I disagree with" is a Marxist and socialist and a Communist"
President Obama & the Democrtas are Progressives with some strong leanings towards liberalism. These are very different ideologies than socialists or communists.
Try reading up on the subject.
The Democrats should be punished. That would be justice. I think many feel this way about them at this point. They have done all the same things they used to whine about when the other side was in power. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Well, when they were in the minority, the Dems didn't do near the amount of obstruction as the current minority has.
Interesting....one would suspect that since the Democrats didn't obstruct...that they were INCLUDED IN EVERY PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED IN CONGRESS when they were in the minority....How about that FUCKING NOVEL IDEA!!!!!
Nobody whined more about Recess Appointments then Pelosi & Reid did when the other side was doing it. They were on TV 24/7 screeching about how wrong they were. So where are those two creeps today? Those two especially,should be ashamed of themselves.
New Rule: You can't use the statement "there will be no cooperation for the rest of the year" as a threat if there was no cooperation in the first half of the year. Here's a word the president should take out of his teleprompter: bipartisanship. People only care about that in theory, not in practice. The best thing that's happened this year is when President Obama finally realized this and said, "Kiss my black ass, we're going it alone, George W. Bush style."
Gotta love Bill Maher.I like what Bill Maher had to say:

Reid is willing to accept the appointment of union-friendly lawyers.

President Barack Obama has elected to bypass the Senate and unilaterally install 15 nominees, including the controversial Craig Becker to serve on the National Labor Relations Board, a move sure to infuriate Republicans..
.
The decision to install Becker - who was rejected by a GOP filibuster last month - is certain to enflame Republicans opposed to his ties to labor unions. Obama also installed Mark Pearce - another nominee favored by unions - to serve on the board.

Republican Recess Appointments = "Evil & Wrong" Democrat Recess Appointments = "Good & Righteous" Well that's according to the corrupt Democrats anyway. Man,these nutters couldn't get enough air-time whining about how "Evil" Recess Appointments were back when the other side was doing it. What a scam. Make 2010 count people.
