With
Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, sitting a few feet away, Mr.
Reid complained that Senate Republicans were spitefully blocking the
confirmation of dozens of Mr. Obama’s nominees to serve as ambassadors.
He expected that the president would back him up and urge Mr. McConnell
to relent.
Mr. Obama quickly dismissed the matter.
“You and Mitch work it out,” Mr. Obama said coolly, cutting off any discussion.
Mr.
Reid seethed quietly for the rest of the meeting, according to four
separate accounts provided by people who spoke with him about it. After
his return to the Capitol that afternoon, Mr. Reid told other senators
and his staff members that he was astonished by how disengaged the
president seemed. After all, these were Mr. Obama’s own ambassadors who
were being blocked by Mr. McConnell, and Secretary of State John Kerry
had been arguing for months that getting them installed was an urgent
necessity for the administration.
Yeah, these are Obama's own nominees that are supposed to be urgently needed. Instead he is like "Dingy Harry work it out." Politics are sooo beneath him. Maybe if Harry Reid was a noted artist, Jay-Z, or a Nobel prize winning economist Obama would have gave him the time of day. Instead he is merely a grubby Majority Leader of the Senate. I think Obama needs to resign and become Democratic Party Chairman and let Biden finish off his term.
