Bush, not the Senate, is the obstructionist

cry me a river, build me a bridge, and GET OVER IT...

"I am deeply disappointed that a handful of United States Senators prevented Ambassador Bolton from receiving the up or down vote he deserved in the Senate," Bush said in the statement. "They chose to obstruct his confirmation, even though he enjoys majority support in the Senate, and even though their tactics will disrupt our diplomatic work at a sensitive and important time."

first of all, george, if he actually "enjoyed" (now, THERE'S an odd choice of words) the requisite majority support in the senate, you wouldn't have had to sneak him through last year in a recess appointment... secondly, he "enjoys" virtually NO support among his peers and colleagues in the united nations, and they have made no secret of their disdain... third, how you can use the words "diplomatic" and "sensitive" in the same sentence when talking about bolton, only displays your complete disconnection from any grasp of the impact of this man... "diplomacy" and "sensitive" in conjunction with "bolton" is an extreme oxymoron... there are many other highly qualified and skilled people you could have nominated in bolton's place, but, even when it became clear that bolton was a loser, you kept right on pushing him... THAT'S obstructionism...
