9. Not only can I back them up, but it's common knowledge.
Anyone who has been paying attention knows that many of *'s nominees were blocked, and many of Obama's have been approved.

Here's a nice list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush_judicial_appointment_controversies#List_of_stalled.2C_blocked_or_filibustered_nominees

If you look through the list, you will see entries like this:

Rhode Island seat vacated by Bruce M. Selya - William E. Smith (judgeship later filled by Obama nominee O. Rogeriee Thompson)

So there you have a * nominee who was blocked, and later filled by an Obama appointee.

This idea that all of Obama's appointments have been blocked, or acting like our party never blocked any of *'s is simply pure ignorance.
