(Spoilin for a fight, he is. This is the first shot of the Second American Civil War. Impeach now! If you haven't bought your weapons or your full complement of ammunition by now, you may be too late!)
"Unreal: Obama Uses Executive Authority To Make Recess Appointment Even Though Congress Is In Session
Last time I checked were in America, not Venezuela (where another Marxist abuses his power).
This is just the beginning.
WASHINGTON (AP) In a defiant display of executive power, President Barack Obama on Wednesday will buck GOP opposition and name Richard Cordray as the nations chief consumer watchdog even though the Senate contends the move is inappropriate, senior administration officials told The Associated Press
With a director in place, the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be able to start overseeing the mortgage companies, payday lenders, debt collectors and other financial companies often blamed for practices that helped tank the economy.
Obamas decision to make a recess appointment is certain to cause an uproar from Capitol Hill to Wall Street. He is essentially declaring the Senates short off-and-on legislative sessions a sham intended to block his appointments.
The White House is expecting considerable criticism and perhaps a court challenge, but says Obama was left with little choice to get the consumer agency fully running after months of stalemate.
Acting right after Tuesdays GOP presidential caucuses in Iowa, Obama is seeking to grab attention and show voters that he will advocate for the middle class no matter what the opposition. It is his most bare-knuckle initiative so far in his campaign of taking action without waiting for Congress."
