Bush Says Democrats Stalling on Bolton
President Bush said John R. Bolton has enough votes to win confirmation as ambassador to the United Nations and should get a quick up-or-down vote on the Senate floor.
“Clearly he’s got the votes to get confirmed,” Bush said during a White House press conference Tuesday.
Democrats held up Bolton’s nomination last week in a dispute over documents they claim the White House has refused to provide. Congress is not in session this week, meaning any new vote on the long-delayed nomination is at least a week off.
Meanwhile, Yale classmates of Bolton’s wrote to senators to oppose the nomination.
The 76 signers include cartoonist Garry Trudeau, who lampooned Bolton in his “Doonesbury” strip in May.
It isn’t unusual for old classmates to come forward. Remember when Al Gore’s old classmate came forward and set the record straight about “Love Story”? GW had classmates come forward as did John Kerry – - it’s interesting that it is mostly those who have something negative to say who always step forward.
They all can continue to stall – - but there is not a better man for the job. John is our hope in the UN – - too bad some are blinded by ignorance and party lines and cannot see this fact.
