As someone who strongly supported a recess appointment for Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I'm confused as to why President Obama chose to act today.
The trouble is that the Senate isn't in recess. For complicated reasons the Republicans have the ability to prevent the Senate from going into recess, and they have done so in order to maximize the difficulty of Obama making recess appointments. The White House maintains that keeping the Senate in pro forma session is a stupid gimmick, which is certainly true. It further maintains that because it is a stupid gimmick, that gives the president the right to act as though the Senate were in recess.
Maybe there's a stronger legal foundation to the president's decision that I don't know about. But based on what I've seen so far, I'm having trouble understanding how the recess appointment of Cordray can possibly withstand a legal challenge. And I'm really having trouble understanding why Obama didn't take advantage of his constitutional window yesterday, when the Senate was in-arguably in recess.
I'm beginning to think that if there were a more solid justification for Obama's action someone would have made it by now.

Yup, "The Great Divider" strikes again.
Campaigning is the only thing he can do right right short of letting the military snuff someone.
Makes one long for the days when Clinton was in power. At least he knew how to govern.

Yup Reagan and Clinton worked with Congress. They were leaders.
The only time Barry wants to be a leader is when he's running for office.
Of course he can't run on his sucky record so he's gonna run against Congress. True leadership.
Po' little 'Conservatives'. The President just doubled down. How do you like that. Hope he fills all the judicial seats now, also.

Clinton didn't have to deal with the kind of shit being dished out by this group, so you can shove that little comparison. These assholes aren't interested in letting this Prez govern.

Waste of his effort if Congress doesn't approve them or fund their programs. They are in session after all.
I can still hear Reid screaming when Bush did the same thing. Only Congress WASN'T in session when he did it. All nice and legal.

One gimmick move after another, designed to make the weak-minded think he's doing something of value.
What was wrong with the Consumer Protection Agency we already have?

You mean the consumer product safety commission? Finance is not really it's area of expertise.
At work as we speak.
How's being a complete bitch going these days as you post?
Ask yourself...afterall you're mine.
PS: You're not working...you're posting on a message board while you blame President Obama for your failing business.
Obviously you are the cause of your own considerable, numerous, and abject failures.
I haven't mentioned my business in a while. Funny thing is my failing business was awarded the Super Service Award a couple weeks ago from Angieslist.
You, however continue to be a bitch daily.
