Wasnt Obama in Russia and Afghanistan over the weekend? He is such a commie, he has no respect for our house members! OR US!How did Obama have time to appoint 15 radical appointments in 3 days bypasses Congress?
He is in a war time mode. He is like Hitler near the end. He is scrambling to do what he can to hang on to him dream of destroying this country. It's not that he made recess appointments. A lot of Presidents do that. It's the scum he appointed.
Interesting:
Obama had a total of 77 appointments pending Senate approval. He made 15 recess appointments.
Bush had 5 appointments pending approval during the same time period in his first term, and he made 170 recess appointments.
Most of Obama's appointments were to boards that were operating with no quorum, just enough to keep government functioning.
ONE of those appointments the Republicans felt was too radical.
Get your facts straight. Asking loaded questions make you and conservatives look bad.
As to how he had time. The preparations were a contingency plan, "hope for the best, plan for the worst." All that was required was his signature.
What I wonder is, why did he not proceed with all 77 appointments. Much as it pains me to say it, he appears to have operated with restraint..How did Obama have time to appoint 15 radical appointments in 3 days bypasses Congress?
Chill dude, you are taking this waaaay out of proportion. lol
Repubs have had 7 months to pass or turn down these appointments, they sat on the fence and fought tooth and nail. They did this only for the purpose of stalling the daily workings of the government for idiotic party lines. There is no real merit for holding these appointments up.
Obama told them, don't leave on break without approving someone for these positions, they thumbed their noses and Obama took the actions he said he would.
Your description of Becker crack me up, far from the truth but comical all the same.
As far as the president having to be in the country to do his job....wrong, his job is where he is, anywhere.
This is a pure case of Abuse of Power!!! Nothing more, nothing less.
What I don't understand is, how could so many people be taken in by this man, and STILL are? What is it going to take for them to realize they are NOT the chosen ones? Granted, they did it to themselves, and they only have themselves to blame. Now the rest of us are being dragged down along with them
I am sick and tired of people groaning they are living at the proverty level!!! Come on!!!! If they are, that's their own fault too!!! Welfare is only too happy to pay for their food, health care and even give them a house to live in - for free!! AND even money to go play Bingo everynight!!! That's something I can't do!!! They ARE given chances to better themselves, but the majority don't want to, and prefer let someone else pay their bills!!! Sure! these are the guys who are supporting Obama's agenda! They don't want to give up the good times!How did Obama have time to appoint 15 radical appointments in 3 days bypasses Congress?
give me a break . first bush did the same thing , second david axlerod addressed this very question of tv. sen mcconnel has said that part of the agenda is to block an obstruct anything the dems do. this is unpatriotic . the cons are stopping the appointment to several vital positions for our country. the fact that you said they were blocked proves the point. by the way where did you hear they were radical ? is it fromt the same guys that said we would have armegeddon . face it these guys you are listening to are hurting our country
Is this a joke? Bush appointed 171 people during recess, Clinton appointed 139. This is not something new that just Obama is doing.
Let me guess. This is the first time in your life you've ever heard of a recess appointment, right? George W. Bush did it 179 times.
