And I thought he swore to uphold the Constitution... http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/06/mr-president-why-refuse-to-answer-whether-the-justice-department-issued-a-legal-opinion/

He and nancy polowsi have proved they do not care to do anything for their own personal gain, I just wonder what the libs would have said if other way around

Please just stop. He has had 30% fewer recess appointments than Bush. The fact is, it was the other way around, and I don't remember liberals lambasting anybody over it. Just vote on and it and get it over with, but the Republicans won't even vote up or down. The outrage, yours included, is just silly.

The link to the editorial said he made recess appointments while the Senate is "demonstrably not in recess." Didn't I hear there were only one or two senators there and as soon as the gavel was dropped to start it was then dropped to stop? There seems to be different definitions of what "in session" means.

In 2007, Democrats held the same pro forma sessions every few days — "each of which lasts only a few seconds" — to prevent George W. Bush from making recess appointments. They can't just dismiss the same strategy as a "gimmick" now.

If true , I agree.

Bush made 171 in 8 years or or over 21 per year.

 

Obama has made a total of 29 in three years, or less than 10 per year.

 

The Republicans have nothing here but hypocrisy.

Finally you have seen the light , and I agree with you that they are completely altruistic .

When did Bush make a recess appointment while congress was in session??

They are not in session. If they are, tell me what recent business they have taken up? I saw where they shut everything down when the senate democrats walked in and actually wanted to do some work, even shut off the CSpan cameras so the world couldn't see them "not working."

Harry Reid, with Sen. Obamas blessing, pulled the same stunt in 07. And you talk about the GOP's hypocrisy. Your outrage is silly...

This is SOP for presidents and congress on both sides of the aisle.

I am not outraged, at all. Just pointing out that Obama has made half as many of these appointments. The dems were wrong when they did it, but that doesn't make the Repubs right that they are playing loose with the "consent" clause of the constitution now. Don't be outraged and don't play like this is something awful. Advise and consent. Support or reject, but don't play games.

WHO CARES..............There are more serious issues than this appointment.

 

I am not sure why people blame any President for problems. It is Congress that keeps screwing the American people.

See this is typical. It's OK to do it because the other side did it. When President Romney makes dozens of recess appointments because Harry Reid won't let any of his nominations go through you'll be OK with that, even if the Senate is Pro-Forma in session?
