Demander -in-Chief

It's a political game that both sides have used. The Dems objected then, and the GOP is objecting now. I agree that Washington games are crap, but using the typical lingo to go after BHO is very telling. "Arrogant", "stepping on the Constitution" etc., is code speak for the Right. When they do come back in session for real, you can expect Boehner and McConnell to immediately be "outraged" over Obama's "power grab". So predictable.
They were not in recess.......pro forma session......there's a difference. Bush respected the difference and followed the rules.....Obama is above the rules.

THis kind of talk is FALLING on deaf ears in this country..

Only the gullible are concerned with this. The GOP party of NO tried parlimentary manuevers to block the appointments and OBAMA got the best of them. You all wanted a leader? You all said Obama wasnt taking charge? Well, you got your wish. Game over.

Peace.

No, Bush didn't follow the rules either. This is a joke. The GOP created a "session" (in name only) for political gain and the ability to take shots at Obama. What don't you understand?

Bush wanted to make a recess appointment.....Reid reminded him that the senate wasn't in recess, but pro forma session. Bush backed off and followed the rules....What don't you get?

What I get was BUSH was too weak to stand his ground. He was already in trouble for two disastrous wars and a wrecked economy and he didnt want to make it worse on himself.

Thats pretty easy to understand moreluck.

Peace.

Have you no faith in the rule of law and the Supreme Court? Or is it simply that the republicans would rather not have the publicity of blocking a consumer advocate arm of the government that was formed by the congress?

Seems the republicans perceive this guy along the same lines as the head of HLS? Someone that will just select what laws to enforce and ignore the rest at zer0's will?

No. They don't like the regulation and want to kill it by leaving the position unfilled. If a republican wins in 'qw, they will put in a commissioner who does nothing.

That pesky Negro just keeps on being arrogant, doesn't he? I wish he'd just do exactly as he's told by all those rich Republicans who know best what's good for rich Republicans.

We can destroy the world 100 times over yet we can't adequately fund education or keep kids out of poverty, and you're upset because the military budget is being cut. I thought you Righties were all about reducing government spending? Guess what? Everyone in the military is one of those government employees you hate so much.
