WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has bypassed the Senate and directly appointed four new U.S. ambassadors whose nominations had been stalled or blocked by lawmakers for months
Specific senators had blocked or refused to consider the confirmations of the nominees for various reasons, including questions about their qualifications. But in the most high-profile case, that of the new envoy to Syria, Robert Ford, a number of senators objected because they believed sending an ambassador to the country would reward it for bad behavior.
President George W. Bush’s administration withdrew a full-time ambassador from Syria in 2005 after terrorism accusations and to protest the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, killed in a Beirut truck bombing that his supporters blamed on Syria. Syria denied involvement.
Obama nominated Ford, a career diplomat and a former ambassador to Algeria, to the post in February but his nomination stalled after his confirmation hearings and was never voted on.
The other Obama nominees announced Wednesday are Matthew Bryza for Azerbaijan, Norman Eisen for the Czech Republic and Francis Ricciardone for Turkey.
Bryza, a career diplomat, was opposed by some in the Armenian-American community because of comments he made in his previous position as deputy assistant secretary of state for European affairs while trying to negotiate an end to the Nargorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The nomination of Ricciardone, another career diplomat who served as ambassador to Egypt during the Bush administration, had been held up by outgoing Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., who had concerns about his work in promoting democracy while he was stationed in Cairo.
The nomination of Eisen, a lawyer who has worked in the Obama White House on ethics and reform, was being held up by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who said the nominee had made misrepresentations to Congress about the firing of a federal official.

The mistakes in men dressing
1. The Purchase and use of shirts
Men who use suits often fall into the temptation of buying all manner of packet shirts to match their suits. Oftentimes, you see men wearing off colored shirts over suits. For instance, some men wear yellow shirts over purple suits. This is because such men buy out of impulse when they go out for the purchase of the shirts they need.
2. Flying out on top of Shoes
Many men wear their shirts very loose on top of their well ironed trousers and well polished shoes. This is a real fashion cacophony. It is never done in the decent mode of dressing. Once you are on a well polished shoe and well ironed pair of trousers, you are expected to tuck in your shirt. This makes you a tip top gentleman.
3. Color riots
Men often make the mistakes of choosing the right colors. This results in color riots when they put on their dresses. It is always necessary to employ the use of your common sense in choosing the colors of your dresses. It is good to create time for your dressing shopping. Buying clothing materials based on your whims and caprices makes you end up in color riots when you put on your wears.
In all; remember that the way you dress is the way you are addressed. Dressing well all the time has lots of advantages. Dressing tells a lot about the kind of person you are and the kind of work you do often. You may be mistaken for a rogue or an armed robber by the casual wears you put on. This could be highly embarrassing.
