If he'd said "we just don't like Obama's pick" instead of "the next president gets to pick because we don't like Obama" then it would've been passable. Now its just a never ending cycle of both sides bickering without any real resolution.

And I get tired of "well, they did it first" as a reason for continuing it.

As you said, McConnell (and others) have said it was purely political.  Same it was for the other 8 years of obstruction from the GOP.  That doesn't make it right for the Democrats to do it.  And if they do do it that call it even and get back to work...at least they can say they tried to even things out.
