Obama Uses Weekly Address To Push Loretta Lynch Vote, Says It’s ‘Purely About Politics’
By Colby Itkowitz March 21
President Obama and Democrats are losing patience with the Republican-controlled Senate's refusal to bring his attorney general nominee up for a vote, using interviews, social media and now the president's weekly address to express their mounting frustration.
The president on Saturday morning reiterated comments he made in an interview with the Huffington Post that Loretta Lynch, who was nominated in early November, is qualified and deserves a yes-or-no vote on her confirmation.

If Obama wants a quick confirmation, let him select someone who is in line with mainstream Americans instead of someone with canted views and prejudices.

Perhaps the GOP doesn’t want more of the same.
Obama and Democrats - get off your high horses... AMERICA IS NOT A DICTATORSHIP even if you democrats - corrupt filth of the world - - wish it was...
You Dems can just wait... sorry jerk offs but that's how a democracy works...
The commie bitch should be shipped one-way to North Korea.
Of course it’s about politics. She’s a political appointee.
When you have no argument or can’t defend someone’s record, squawk “politics.”
Lynch is worse than the make believe black man in office, she’s arrogant a women and black the trifecta
