It's Really Not That Hard, Dems

This article from Talking Points Memo made me smile- a little:

"President Obama said tonight he went to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to say he would use recess appointments if Republican senators failed to release their holds on his nominees.

Obama said he spoke to McConnell (R-KY) Tuesday about the tactics used by his caucus, leading some GOPers to release their holds.

"This is a rare but not unprecedented step that many other presidents have taken. Since that meeting, I am gratified that Republican senators have responded by releasing many of these holds and allowing 29 nominees to receive a vote in the Senate," Obama said in a statement released tonight by the White House."

See, like we always heard, it doesn't take that much to make a bully run off the schoolyard crying. Obama and the Senate Dems have the power- it's about time they used it. They stood by for eight years while the Republicans ran over them and created the mess our country is in now. It's about time Democrats did what they have to do, to repair the damage. And it isn't that hard.

I agree. If a killer was holding your sister hostage, you wouldn't negotiate. You'd cut off his junk.
