According to the Seattle Times there were multiple Obama cabinet nominees including the head of the EPA and Labor Secretary that were blocked and filibustered by the Republicans. Also included in that was the Commerce Secretary. That story also talks about how the Republicans used mountains of paperwork and other tactics to delay some of Obama's nominations.

Oddly, I don't recall you criticizing them for this.
