Trust me, there is nothing "faux" about my outrage.

This piece of **** is becoming more and more emboldened by the day. I shudder to imagine how crazy things will be if he gets a second term with no worries about getting reelected.
 
nice to see he is doing it for the people as taxes go up on the small business owners of america while the government makes no substantial cuts to its 1 trillion spending deficit per year. would anyone like to know how obama behaved when bush did similar things? all im looking for from the wh at this point is some consistency and a single business day without a hypocritical action.
 
Leftwich, seems to me you'd be pleased that the president has given up tryiing to accommodate those who refuse to work with him. I'm glad.
Carry on, Mr. President.

So ******* tiring. He did the exact same thing when he was in the Senate. Hypocritical is too nice of a word.

It is also sickening to hear him pontificate about the good of the people when this is an appointment to another do nothing comittee that will cost us money and won't help any Americans one little bit.
 
maybe a leftie can explain why all lefties and most of the media seem proud of BO doing something that is flat out against the Constitution.
for doing something no other POTUS has done.
lefties and media were all over Bush for real recess appointments but he did not go against standing rules and appint anyone when reid did he '"roforna session"

So Why are you lefties all excited that BO did something he sued to speak out against?
 
You asked why "lefties" such as myself are excited about the President's actions. I answered your question. We have a financial protection agency supported by the American people that now has a leader.

Apparently, there's just no pleasing you.
 
It's my understanding that there are varying legal opinions as to whether pro forma sessions are in fact recesses. In the meantime, the President has moved on.
 
So this agency was created by Dodd-Frank, while neither one of them will be in Congress this time next year, correct?

More than 50% of this country is in favor or repealing said moronic bill!!!
 
I know you are only kidding, Ag, but it is an interesting question. In my quick look, it appears that weekend breaks are not recesses, but that the four day weekends Congress often takes involve a recess on Thursday, so technically, yeah, I guess so. The question could be genuinely important in the case of a intrasession recess, buit is not implicated in the current intersession recess. If this nonsence actually got before the Supreme Court, and if they decided that it was justiable and not a political question, I suspect that they would take a practical "oh come on now" approach and say that weekends are not a recess from non-pro forma work days, but that holiday breaks and intercessional breaks are recesses within the terms of the recess appointment clause.
Honestly, if we get past the gamesmanship, the more serious question is whether Cordray will have any power under Dodd Frank, as the legislation says that the director must be " confirmed by the Senate." The question will be whether that phrase was intended as a restiction upon his powers, or an invocation of the Constitutional perogative of the Senate to approve appointees. If the former, he cannot act. If the latter, he can act through the end of the next term of Congress under Constitutional principles. Interesting stuff.
 
uh 93
did you read the report on the unemployment rate dropping?

have you noticed dems aren't trumpeting that? There are reasons they aren't.
and you really should research why they aren't so you won't look anymore foolish than you already do.
