Barry is playing the (R) card though -- as in liberal (R)etard.

They're blocking his judicial appointees because he's not appointing left-leaning judges (which anyone would expect). He's appointing full-on liberal nuts.

Exhibit A: Look at who all he put on the National Labor Relations Board. Hell, one of the guys was the top lawyer for one of the name-brand labor unions. Which way do you think he's going to break on administrative interpretation?

They're blocking his nominees because he isn't working to find candidates that left-leaning but not totally repulsive to the Republicans in the Senate.

Wait a minute, the republicans never appoint their own people? they never appoint full on right leaning whack jobs? I remember the dems having issues with Ashcroft and Gonzalez but eventually you just fucking move on. And you know full fucking well that they probably don't even know the names of many of these appointees they're just doing it on principal....like the consumer protection guy. They just don't like the idea of a consumer protection bureau because a fundamental lynchpin of being a conservative is to be well versed in the art of usury. There is no personal reason why they're blocking him, per the "conservative" washingpost even...Republicans have only themselves to blame for Reid’s ‘nuclear option’

Obama’s political advantages included his light skin tone and his ability to speak “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

One is a simple Republican congresswoman in the House and the other is the top-ranking Democrat in the Senate.

Which one should be held to a higher standard?
