I like how the President emphasized that Bolton had his full confidence and support.
And I liked how he made a strong point that he would have been approved by the Senate had there not been partisan game playing, and that he was within his CONSTITUTIONAL duty to appoint him.
To those who might see the President's words in later broadcasts, watch what he does immediately after he says "...I nominated John Bolton"
I think it was quite aggressive body language that "tells" what he was really thinking about the obstruction that his nominee has encountered, as he started his remarks.
Our local anti-Bush rag in Baltimore will probably use a shot of that instant to illustrate their article about this event.

That, in response to the Demodog's "Bolton doesn't have confidence" buffoonery this last weekend, and weeks past.
Frankly, I get very nervous whenever any of the president's nominees get more than 80 Senators' support. If the likes of sKerry, Leaky, Kennedy, Durbane are not in opposition, I have to search long and hard for the reason they are being complicit.
Bolton having strong opposition for this important post shows the President is hitting them where it hurts.
