That would take pressure off the Senate. If he brings up the subject of nominations, he will express disappointment that it is taking so long to get to an up-or-down vote.

I saw something in one of the papers today to the effect that Dems intend to use the delay to pick off more Reps from supporting Bolton. I'd rather see a recess appointment (and some Dutch uncle talk) for Bolton.

I'd rather see the heat on the Senate, than on the President. It is the Senate who is having a problem, and if he takes the issue away from them, they won't have the pressure to fix the institutionalized mishandling of nominations.

And I saw an article stating VP Cheney is confident Bolton will be confirmed. Who to believe, who to believe? :-)
