Doesn't sound like Obama made a very wise choice if the nominee had a life threatening illness.

So Obama was gifting this guy a Make a Wish dream vacation in the Bahamas at taxpayer expense, yet I'm supposed to be mad at Cotton, because the job needed to go to some one that might be physically able to work while on assignment??

Any word if Cotton invited Schumer to Sonic to duke it out over some tots?

It was a college friend he appointed to a pointless position(Ambassodor to the Bahamas) for her to live out her life there. Cotton blocked it to "prsonally hurt" Obama. His words.

frick him.

If Obama wanted her to live out her life in the Bahamas he could have paid for it out of his pocket, NOT the goddamn US budget.

Sorry, I got that point wrong. She was healthy when he appointed her, and healthy when the Senate held hearings. She was diagnosed at a later time, after the confirmation hold up had started.

I don't know the answer, but would her family have been given government benefits from the appointment, such as pension/salary from her "symbolic" ambassadorship after her death?

Edited: Lots of typos.

democrats are going to come to hate schumer when they see what a total ineffectual rollover he is

he's harry reid, except harry reid honed his dishonesty in vegas politics, not Harvard law school.

Go we just go full nuclear option in the Senate and end this shite?

Nah, I was going off memory and searched the story and realized I was mistaken and corrected myself. I posted a link to the story if you're interested in reading it.
