I could not agree with you more!
When W was in office there was some foot dragging, but appointments to government positions were granted. This was not the case for Pres. Obama....in fact some agencies are still without a proper administrator. 
Dems often do the necessary things for the good of the Country. These go unnoticed since they keep the governmental machinery moving but do not make a big news splash. Someone's got to blow a few horns when they do what's right and act like the adults they usually are.
