CBS NEWS April 17, 2015 REENA FLORES Obama: Loretta Lynch Delay "Embarrassing"
President Obama criticized the delay of Loretta Lynch's confirmation as U.S. attorney general, calling it "embarrassing" and a "crazy situation."
"What we still have is this crazy situation where a woman who everybody agrees is qualified... has been now sitting there for longer than the previous seven attorney generals combined," Mr. Obama said during a joint press conference with Matteo Renzi, Italy's prime minister. "And there's no reason for it. Nobody can describe a reason for it beyond political gamesmanship in the Senate.
"There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far. This is an example of it. It's gone too far. Enough," the president continued. "This is embarrassing -- a process like this."
Lynch, who is currently the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, has hit several snags in her confirmation to the top Justice Department post. The president picked her to succeed Eric Holder last November, over 160 days ago.

oh boo hoo....
Obama’s smug indignation is wearing thin on Americans. Petulant, immature child in the WH.
Seems like the level of argument for confirming Loretta has gotten higher and more panicky here lately. Maybe Ms Lynch is becoming frustrated enough to (gasp!) withdraw her name from consideration. We shall see.
What the biggest embarrassment this nation has ever foisted upon the world considers embarrassing is of no interest to me.
You say that like it's a bad thing, Won. Who deserves embarrassment more than the worst POTUS since FDR (spit be upon him)?
Everyone agrees she is qualified. Does the man have any command of the English language whatsoever? Qualified? She is probably qualified for 15 years to life, but certainly not to be the Attorney General of the United States, the top law enforcement officer, one to whom the enforcement of all federal laws IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONSTITUTION is entrusted.
Only if she is confirmed. That will be embarrassing.
Everything, everything, everything related, created, foisted on America by the idiot known as Barack Hussein Obama is an embarrassment.
According to the Constitution, I am "Qualified" to be President.
I’ll see your Loretta Lynch Approval and raise you A Death Tax Abolishment.
“... Two Senate Democrats warned Monday that the Judiciary Committee would delay confirmation of President Bush’s choice for attorney general unless the White House turned over documents that the panel was seeking for several investigations...
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, said last week that Democrats found Mr. Olson too partisan and would block his nomination.”

The Dems can do anything by the media. And the opposite the next day.
Harry could have called for a vote before republicans took control of the senate, no?
Psychopaths can’t be embarrassed, silly wabbit.
I do believe it was the same idiot crying now that said after his first election that when you loose an election you suffer the consequences. Cry on Mr Pres. Who has the last laugh now.
Don't worry Bath House, we all know that this is one giant, phony game between the Red team and the Blue team. Just like pro wrestling. You are Randy Savage and McConnell is the Hulkster, putting on a show for the doofuses.
We all know that McConnell will come through for you. Its baked in the cake.
