Can we just have a mass NO CONFIDENCE vote and remove them, I don't care if peacefully or not. How does Congress find work? The GOP is doing their BEST to destroy the country and NO ONE IS DISCUSSING IT!

For the second time in as many days, Republicans in the Senate blocked committee action to confirm a nominee to President Obama’s second-term Cabinet, this time by boycotting a Thursday vote on his pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

All eight Republican members of the Committee on Environment and Public Works did not appear for a vote that would likely have moved nominee Gina McCarthy’s selection to the full Senate. The senators said she had refused to answer their questions about transparency in the agency.

The Obama administration expressed outrage, describing the boycott as part of a pattern of Republican obstruction to undermine the president’s ability to fill key Cabinet positions.

In the weeks-long hearing on her nomination, McCarthy took more than 1,100 questions, more than 1,075 of which came from Republicans. A single conservative, Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), asked 600 of them, according to the majority office of the committee.

By contrast, the EPA’s former administrator under Obama, Lisa P. Jackson, took 157 questions, 118 from Republicans. President George W. Bush’s nominees to lead the agency, Stephen L. Johnson and Michael O. Leavitt, took 230 and 305 questions, respectively, according to a Democratic official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the nomination was still pending.

We need to give them a good, swift ass kicking and take these morons down a few pegs. Maybe then they'll listen.

It is time for him to stand up to these bullies! We need Obama to say, 'we're not going to take it anymore!'. I personally don't know what he could do to make Congress do their fucking jobs! But maybe public shaming will help...doubt it since the GOP has no shame gene.

He just needs to be the leader, stand up on the national stage and lay it all out for the world to see. Congress is purposely working against the country and it needs to be stopped. Can we impeach Congress critters?
