Here is a very depressing video of 0bama's White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs. He acts like a whiney petulant child in this video, as he complains why poor 0bama can't even be bothered with going thru the confirmation hearings anymore.

Video - Gibbs Gets Testy With Reporters Over Controversial Recess Appointment Of Berwick

What more do these pathetic clowns want? They complain, but they have 59 democrats in the senate, and a super majority in the congress, and a president from their party..... when the hell will any political party get all of this laid at their feet again??? And these guys act like ... <snif> ... it just ain't enough, only 59 in the senate, the presidency, and they have an insurmountable majority in the congress Oh... the humanity of it all

I'm just disgusted with Gibbs, and 0bama at this point. The political party majority in Washington, that they still have at this point, is what every president and congress dreams of.

It would be like LeBron James whining that he is only getting a $50 million contract... "It's just not fair, how can a guy live on only $50 million <snif>"

He looks like he needs a Kleenex tissue.

This is a bit off topic but I forgot to say it earlier today. They are blasting their own game with some of the foolish crap they keep pulling. For instance, in order to avoid failing to get his man approved by the Senate for Medicare czar he doomed him to just a few months in the job. Since he is a recession appointment his tenure is very short in that it can run only till the end of 2011. Had he waited for them to get back to DC he probably could have got the approval but for some reason he whines and blames the GOP because he couldn't get the approval and the Dem chairman of the committee hadn't even scheduled him for discussion. How do you blame the other guys when it is yours that is holding the appointment up? He sure does like to use that, it is their fault thing a lot.

It's well deserved. The controversy over the recess appointment, that is.

Read the following sentence carefully, and comprehend it fully:

Why did they appoint him through recess when Berwick's confirmation were continually blocked?

Why didn't Senate want him, but Obama and certain people do? Hope and change, my ass. Obama is nothing more than a blackened Bush Jr.

It means one of two things, either 0bama lacks the leadership to even get his democrat controlled senate to bring Berwick's nomination up, or 0bama told them not to, because he planned to recess appoint him.

They want us all to be sycophantic and compliant while faced with an insane White House agenda.

Recess appointments made by President George W. Bush - SourceWatch

John R. Bolton as U.N. Ambassador in August 2005, after having been blocked by the Senate. Bolton was Bush's 106th recess appointment. (FSRN 1 Aug '05)

There are at least 30 more on the Bush list, Bolton being one of the hottest.

Were you whining then?

Here is the Bush did it ( ignore that people didnt approve of much that Bush did ) so now Obama can do it also. But we arent suppose to complain about Obama doing it only when Bush did it.

*Thought Bush was suppose to be the worst president ever* Not sure why people want Obama to be compared to doing the samethings Bush did
