Shelby Releases Hold On Obama Nominees - $tevie - 02-09-2010 Shelby wants the tanker and the new FBI explosives center to be built in Alabama. Senators frequently block individual appointments, but Shelby's blanket hold was unusual. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/09/shelby-releases-hold-on-o_n_454653.html Re: Shelby Releases Hold On Obama Nominees - cbelt3 - 02-09-2010 I wonder what sort of legislative bitch-slap he's earned for his state by this very public maneuver ? Usually this sort of stuff is always quietly done under the table. I expect that in the end it will cost his state and his party more than he gained. Re: Shelby Releases Hold On Obama Nominees - mick e - 02-09-2010 "Now that he's gotten Obama's attention..." Is that really what he wanted? File this under "Be careful what you wish for".

Re: Shelby Releases Hold On Obama Nominees - lafinfil - 02-09-2010 I'm glad to see him drop it - pressure or not, but the whole process of the tanker is so tainted that the military (Gates) decided to punt it to the next administration. Little did General Gates know that he would also be the next administration. So we still are at a deadlock - lose Boeing union jobs with the taint of leaked specs hanging over it or give the lower paying non union jobs to Alabama & the cream to the French. It's a FU'd system however you look at it and Shelby is just the face of it this time Re: Shelby Releases Hold On Obama Nominees - mrbigstuff - 02-10-2010 the Teaparty better hurry up and find someone to run against this pork-loving Senator.
