2. I think he knows what he's doing.

You got to remember the media is sitting waiting to pounce,
to try to turn the American people against him.

If they continue to obstruct, he'll name even more the next time....
but he doesn't need to go overboard, cause that could cause backlash,
and that is the last thing we need right this momemt.

I was under the impression it was around 60-70, which is still too many.

5. thanks. I was thinking about the number that have made it through committee and are awaiting

floor action.

The reasons that so many nominations are still held up in committee are varied and, unfortunately, cannot all be laid at the feet of the repubs.

6. Politico claims the number is 77. Either way it seems like a lot of obstruction. NT

7. Bush made 170; Clinton 140. Obama has a long way to go!
