Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama lashed out Friday at Senate Republicans stalling his attorney general nominee's confirmation, calling it "crazy" and "embarrassing" that Loretta Lynch has yet to get a vote.
"What are we doing here?" an exasperated Obama said at a White House press conference, referring to how Lynch has now waited for her confirmation vote more than five months.
"There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far. This is an example of it," Obama said.
"Enough. Enough," he added. "Call Loretta Lynch for a vote, get her confirmed. Put her in place, let her do her job. This is embarrassing, a process like this."
Obama accused his foes of "political gamesmanship" because the nomination of Lynch, the current US attorney for the Eastern District of New York, is bogged down in an unrelated human trafficking bill.

“There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far.”
AND... how long did we have to wait to get a budget from the White House ?
Yeah,, well- the lady is crazy.
Since when is the USAG an affirmative action post? Listening to her hearing, one had to conclude that she has no original thoughts. She gave no meaningful information and defended Obama’sblatantly unconstitutional executive orders as being legal. That should disqualify her.
NEVER forget. F-U-BO.
Obie....lay off the Coke!
Put up a nominee capable of at least pretending they’ll enforce the law.
U.S. President = Black
Head of DHS = Black
DOJ AG = Black
WHY MUST WE HAVE A BLACK DOJ AG?
“If they don’t like my policies they need to win some elections.”
You know he’s lying when there’s a big purple blur where his lips should be....
F@ck Obama. Friggin Hitler demanding the Reichstag dance to his tune.
We won, Obama. If you wanted her confirmed, maybe you should win an off-year election or two.
He’s so immature that it’s nauseating. But at the same time, he’s elderly...he’s using expressions he obviously thought were cool and folksy when his handlers advised him to use them in his first campaign. But life has moved on, so KoolBoy doesn’t realize that he’s using an outdated “youth” lingo to try to attract the young.
I slam our Congress for dereliction of duty.
H0lder is already a JustUs AG. Why do we need another? Let EH twist in the wind forever.
Eyewwww...that just BEGS for a caption!
But it might get me banned.
“Bet this is more about Holder wanting out than her....before something happens....like Congress calls him to step up on something???”
If true, why isn’t the GOP holding hearings and demanding his testimony? What’s wrong with putting on the pressure?
I don’t see why they don’t vote. I doubt she will be confided. Lets move on. The Senate is horrible with Republicans in charge most of the time. They have no idea how to run the office. I would be putting up every federal judge and watching them fall down one at a time. It could be fun to see. Sometimes I believe that I would be a better Senate Majority Leader than McConnell.
