Bush Urges Senate to Vote on 180 Nominations

Saturday, February 09, 2008

WASHINGTON — President Bush vented frustration anew Saturday over the Senate's failure to vote on more than 180 of his nominations, including more than two dozen to the federal bench.
"Some have been waiting for more than a year," said Bush, who invited many of the nominees to the White House for an event on Thursday. "As a result, careers have been put on hold, families have been placed in limbo and our government has been deprived of the service of these fine nominees."
Democrats counter that Bush is equally responsible for the stalemate between the White House and Capitol Hill over presidential nominees to lead government agencies, preside over U.S. courts and serve on commissions. They say that in some cases, Bush has nominated people who have no chance of being approved by a Democratic-led Congress.
Kliphnote: How does it feel Obama and the rest of the Democratic Senators ? Obama, you did it to Bush first. Now you don't like it.
Too bad! Tell you the truth, the whole process makes me laugh. It is that sad.

A Greek tragedy.

Instead of three playwrights, we have three political groups.
And the end is always tragic.
