“Mitch, this is unprecedented,” the president said...

"Unprecedented"??? How about the Rats refusing to even hold confirmation hearings for ANY of Bush's appointees in what, 8 years!

It's amazing how Rats always find a word or phrase that multiplies their outrages into grinning rape.

From that article:

McConnell replied that the Democrats did the same thing when President George W. Bush was in office. Obama disagreed, saying that when Bush made his first recess appointments, a handful of nominees had been waiting for more than a month. Obama had more than 60 waiting.

To say nothing of keeping the Senate in perpetual session so President Bush couldn't make any recess appointments.
