Obama slams 'crazy' delay of attorney general confirmation

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.

Is this still the case where her nomination cannot come up because the Bolshies refuse to cut funding for abortion in a previous separate bill(?)?

For some reason I had that press conference on when I was doing something in the kitchen. BO’s answers literally rambled on for 10 or so minutes. When he threw his little tantrum about Lynch, he just sounded and looked pathetic. He was trying to be scary and mean, but it truly was just bad and no one says anything to him. He’s a joke and the hand gesturing was weird.

“So what if Loretta hates white folks. She’s black so she can’t be racist.”

I didn’t know that Bush was considered part of the opposition. I certainly have always seen him as an enemy.
