The count of “what Bush did” at an equivalent point is a specious argument (and blankety blank blank blank, MSM, for making me even use that phrase). You must consider the qualifications and quality of the nominees before you have an apples-to-apples comparison. Were the Senators delaying the appointment simply to thwart the President out of pique or because the candidates really, really suck? With Pres__ent Obama, it is clearly the latter.
People shouldn’t be that upset about recess appointments as they do happen all the time. The only comparable thing George Bush did was the recess appointment of John Bolton. While Bolton was denied cloture twice, the vote totals and the makeup of the Senate were different from what it was when Becker was voted on.
I don't disagree with you, but it is this vermin's prerogative to make these appointments....one can only hope that the damage they do, will be fodder for folks to vote against Marxism (read Marxism as the POSOTUS).
Ok don’t like using Bush, well Reagan made over 200 appointments during recess. I am sure that the Democrats at the time were thrilled and thought they were qualified...NOT!!! :)
