Sociopath.
At this point in time, I am more aggravated with the Pubbies, since they are the eunuchs that just keep letting this happen, then stand around in a circluar firing squad trying to work out their options..
Not only did he say that but if confronted about it, you’d see a 5 minute response why this situation is completely different.
BINGO - king barry loves fighting Repubs. Terrorists - not so much.
Nothing but pure hypocrisy!
The Democrats are the biggest hypocrites that have ever existed in the USA.
First they were against the Nuclear Option and now they are against it!
The GOP must stand up against this tyranny of Democratic Hypocrisy!
Obama caught in another LIE.
Just another day in the Obamanation, waiting for the next Barakalypse to take place.
What’s ironic is that someone who uses a filibuster to block the confirmation of a appointees who has supplied all requested information in good faith would be obstructing the Senate in the performance of a *constitutionally mandated duty*; demanding that the Senate do its duty should hardly be considered radical. By contrast, there is outside of the budget almost no legislation which the Senate is constitutionally mandated to even consider. Consequently, the justifications that would apply to restricting filibusters of appointees do not apply to filibusters of legislation.
In 2014 when the GOP hopefully takes back the Senate payback is going to be a beach.
Obama himself is not what the founders had in mind.
So what’s to stop a majority from pulling a Samuel Chase on every officer they don’t like and replacing them with ones they do?
Sounds like a great way to destroy the judiciary as a functioning body.

It took lies:
“................Some see these nominees as an effort to pack the court after a series of decisions Obama did not like.
The issue was similar last July when Reid and company convinced the Republicans to capitulate on President Obama’s terrible nominees to the National Labor Relations Board. In tricking the Republicans into approving numerous nominees the Democrats promised they were “not touching judges.”
Harry Reid (D-NV): “We’re not touching judges. That’s what they were talking about. This is not judges.” (NBC’s “Meet The Press,” 7/14/13)
Reid didn’t stop there. He made a similar promise at a Press briefing:
Harry Reid (D-NV): “We’re not talking about changing the filibuster rules that relates to nominations for judges. …this is not about judges.” (Sen. Reid, Press Briefing, 7/11/13)
Reid wasn’t alone in making such representations. Senators Sherrod Brown and Amy Klobuchar also offered similar assurances:
Sherrod Brown (D-OH): “…I think any president should have the ability to put people in place for the — at the pleasure of the president. These are not judges. That’s a whole another issue.” (MSNBC, 7/9/13)
Amy Klobuchar (D-MN): “…I don’t understand why for these nominees, I’m not talking about judges here, I’m talking about the president’s team, of which there are currently over 180 people that are just pending right now before the Senate for the Executive Office nominations. Why we can’t just do 51 votes is beyond me.” (ABC’s “This Week,” 7/14/13)......

Rush Limbaugh - November 21, 2013
RUSH: I have a brief question for Senator McCain, Senator Susan Collins, and the rest. How is that “working across the aisle” thing working out for you now with this nuclear option thing? You stuck your hand out across the aisle to shake hands with ‘em, and now you gotta somehow reach around and take a knife outta your back.
