It doesn't matter if you support the right left or center ( if that's even possible anymore). The republicans have been acting like whiney spoiled brats and have ground the govt to a holt out of pure spite. Something had to be done, so now is done and Obama can get some people appointed. It's just fucking insane that anyone could even remotely support what the right has been doing, when it comes to blocking appointees.
Simply put if anyone bothered to educate themselves and are even halfway sensible, they would see what the right is doing regarding the appointees is inexcusable.

So the fact that the appointed head of the IRS took the fifth when asked about the targeting of conservative groups is ok with you?
The Regulatory Czar ? Cass Sunstein
Thinks hunting should be banned
Climate Czar ? Todd Stern
Stern behind the Cap and Trade proposal which, even an analysis by Obama?s own Treasury Department concluded, would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion dollars?just what we need for today?s economy!
Science Czar ? John Holdren
In his book, Holdren advocates ?laws requiring compulsory abortion,? government confiscation of new born babies, the ?development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin,?
Chief Diversity Officer, Federal Communications Commission ? Mark Lloyd
?It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press.
This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references
to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination
of other communications policies. ?[T]he purpose of free speech is warped to protect
global corporations and block rules that would promote democratic governance.?
Secretary, Department of Education ? Arne Duncan
Obama appointed Duncan due to his alleged success as CEO of Chicago?s public schools. However, in 2007, only 10% of black 4thgraders in Chicago reached the proficiency level in reading and for black 8th graders, only 9% reached reading proficiency. In math, only 8% of black students reached proficiency in 4th grade and just 6% reached proficiency in 8th grade. This was the disappointing outcome, despite spending $13-$14,000 per student and is among the highest of any major city.Even worse, a majority of Chicago public school students drop out or fail to graduate with their class.
there's more if you want
