GOP keeps congress in session to block any Presidential Appointments

[RetiredGySgt]

So, since the GOP has left 1 or 2 people back (while everyone else goes home), which effectively limits the president from doing anything, they're bitching about Obama going on vacation? Fuck.......he can't do shit in DC, so he may as well be on vacation until Congress comes back.

And.......if you wanna bitch about him going to Martha's Vineyard, think about this..........the GOP frontrunner (Mitt Romney) is ALSO going to be there around the same time as Obama.

Also.......let's talk about his expansion of his house..........

Were you upset when Reid did it to Bush?

READING COMPREHENSION Retarded Grungy Shithead.........I stated that since the GOP has blocked Obama and he can't do anything, why SHOULDN'T he be on vacation?

I also asked why Mitt Romney was bitching about Obama being at Martha's Vineyard (apparently, according to Romney, Obama has lost touch with the people by being at such an exclusive location) when HE'S gonna be there at the same time as Obama?

And expanding his mansion by over 4 times it's current size because it doesn't work? How many common people do you know that own a mansion, much less are able to expand it by 4 times it's original size?

How many poor Liberals have ever gotten elected to office at the Federal level? How many poor liberals have become President? Just curious.

 

[Article 15]

The reason? In an effort to block President Obama from making recess appointments—which the Constitution allows presidents to do—Congressional Republicans have kept Congress technically in session.

Overall, President Obama has made relatively few recess appointments. The New York Times noted that he’s made 15—which the White House openly announced last year, citing "Republican obstruction"—compared to President Bush’s 171 and President Clinton’s 139 recess appointments.

While on Summer Recess, Congress Blocks Recess Appointments

Now come on, tell me this isn't one dirty, fucked up political party. Republicans say he doesn't know how to lead. Those fuckers hate that Black Man's guts. He hasn't done anything to deserve this except be born black. Worse, Republicans handed this president the worst mess any political party has ever handed to a new president and then called him names and obstructed everything he's tried to do the help the middle class. One dirty, fucked up party. Go ahead, put me in the flame zone. But it's the truth. Facts don't lie.

And they keep asking me, "Why you so mean to Republicans". Well, why are them mean to "humanity". Thought they were all full of Jesus. But it ain't Jesus they're full of.

I am so fed up with them and their shit.

Did you feel the same way when Reid did it to Bush? That is right, Senator Reid held the Senate to a similar plan under Bush. Did you or Rdean feel bad about it then?

Hypocrite says what?

You guys are ridicules. Your Party failed miserably in Congress since 2007, Your President has failed Miserably, All you have left is straws to grasp at, and Republicans to hate. It is sad.

What have they accomplished, aside from blocking recess appointments?

Before Article 15 cuts and pastes some more lies then claims I ran away..... I am leaving for awhile not sure if I will be back tonight. Go ahead Article 15 claim victory now as you IGNORE the base question. If the libs are upset at the Republicans for this were they also upset when the Democrats did it to Bush?

No need to post anything. You know damn well that I busted your ass lying the last time this topic came up. You would think you would be smart enough to keep your mouth shut but you just can't resist making accusations of hypocrisy on people....even when you are a hypocrite on the same damn issue.

Fact: You were upset when Reid pulled this on BOOOOOOSHHHHH.

Where's your outrage now, Sarge?

You need to do a little research on what is and is not a lie. Perhaps then someone may take you seriously. As to the point. I was consistent in both previous threads as you well know. I stated that Congress, whether it is Republican or Democrat, should NOT be able to use the recess in this manner. It is the Presidents power under the Constitution to make recess appointments. The checks and balances occurs in that that appointee must be confirmed by the Senate or he only sits a year.

The only liar here, is as I pointed out, YOU.

In the first thread about this you asked Truthmatters if she was upset when Reid did this to BOOOSH.

I popped in and asked you if you defended BOOOSHHH when Reid did this to him.

You answered "no."

I then pulled quotes from 3 ago of you defending BOOOSHHHH and calling what Reid was doing "dirty tricks."

I caught you lying red handed.

So I repeat:

Where is your outrage now, liar?

The Constitution also allows Congress to stay in session to nullify that particular power if they want to, just like the Democrats did when Bush was president.

Did you whinge then?

Most of the noise I am seeing about Obama being on vacation is coming from the professional left that is upset because he is not doing enough to further their agenda.

 

[Annie]

Payback is always a bitch:

Reid blocks Bush from making recess appointments after he had already make nearly 200 of them. Obama has made 15.

But yeah, it's all about "payback"

Heh if that's the case boy are you righties going to be howling when all the shit the GoP has pulled in the last two and a half years comes back around full circle.

What one group thinks is clever to do when in power, often has them howling when out. Anyone who thinks that this was something that wouldn't be used more in the future would just be a fool.

Political machinations tend to be somewhat partisan, don't they?

 

[California Girl]

This is why neither side should be in power. Neither side can act like grown ups. Neither side can put country over party.

Both sides - on this board - should be ashamed of themselves for their stupid tit for tat, Mommy, he did it too behavior.

 

[yidnar]

Yep, how horrible of them to Stay In session and not go on Vacation. How Horrible of them wanting to exercise their Constitutional right to Advise and Consent.

Jeez, will you please KNOCK IT OFF?

The Vineyard is a small island. We're going to have enough trouble cleaning up all the crap when The New Messiah folds his tent and slinks away. We really can't afford to have much of Congress vacation here at the same time. Besides, we don't got near enough shovels. Worse, you're no longer allowed to dump that shit in the ocean. Damn EPA.

Yea, because Republican policies have been shown to work. Remember, they got 98% of everything they wanted.

You can start off with every single Republican policy in the last 20 years and you can't find a single one that's been successful. Republicans even let Bin Laden go.

I think my all time favorite was when they fired lawyers from the Justice Department and replaced them with "Bible School Graduates".

welfare reform,lower fuel prices,lower taxes=low unemployment!!the first democratic election in Iraq,......

Sorry dear but when the left whines about the right doing something they themselves did, I am going to ask the idiots complaining if they complained when the left did it. You see that makes them hypocrites if they did not complain then too.

As to this particular thing, I have been clear in 3 thread now, Congress should not pull this shit.

Memories of Obama's recess appointment of Donald Berwick, Dr Death Panels, still linger.

Senate blocks Obama from making recess appointments during August break | Philip Klein | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner

Senate blocks Obama from making recess appointments during August break
By: Philip Klein | Senior editorial writer Follow Him @Philipaklein | 08/02/11 8:37 PM

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced that the chamber would be in "pro forma" sessions throughout August, effectively blocking President Obama from making any recess appointments.

Among other possibilities, the move will prevent Obama from appointing a new head of the controversial Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well as a new member of the National Labor Relations Board, which has a vacancy opening up later this month.

As I reported yesterday, the Republican-controlled House used a procedural move to help force this issue. Though it's the Senate that must confirm presidential appointments, under the U.S. Constitution, it cannot adjourn for more than three days without the approval of the House. The House adjourned yesterday, but will remain open in so- called "pro forma" sessions.

When Democrats took over Congress in 2007, Senate Majority Leader Reid blocked Bush from making any recess appointments by holding such sessions, which could last as little as a few seconds, with the clerk opening the chamber and a Senator striking a gavel to close it.

...

Yes payback is a bitch.
