Marco Rubio Won't Stop Blocking The Nomination Of A U.S. Ambassador To Mexico
** Rubio is a USELESS twit and if he wins he'll harass Cuba endlessly and stupidly. Jacobson did a great job with Cuba and was very moderate, always insisting on including the dissidents as an issue even though their number and importance is miniscule.

WASHINGTON -- Even hundreds of miles away from Washington, GOP presidential candidate and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is still causing trouble for the Obama administration.
Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) on Thursday tried for the second time to get a Senate vote on the Mexico ambassador nominee, Roberta Jacobson. And for the second time, Rubio helped block that vote, even though he is in Detroit preparing for a Republican debate.
After Udall asked for "unanimous consent" to move forward, Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) rose to object on behalf of himself and Rubio.
"What is holding up her nomination? It isn't her qualifications, that isn't the problem," Udall said on the Senate floor afterward. "A big part of the problem is presidential politics, and the policy differences with the administration over her work with Cuba."
