If the Republicans had any balls (and they don't seem to), they'd make sure that any budget they pass going forward does not fund this agency, to include this guy's salary.

So are they going to put him in his place, send his new appointment home, or pout and cry about it? They need to put on their skates and body check his ass into the glass.

"But when Congress refuses to act in a way that hurts our economy and puts people at risk, I have an obligation as President to do what I can without them."
I'm glad at least one branch of the .gov is refusing to act in a way that hurts our economy! Did he actually say this, or is it a typo? Either way, it's hiliarious :) |

The Democrats pulled the "short Congressional sessions" thing on Bush.
W just went along with it. What Obama did is very much illegal. eta: Priebus, in a conference call with Ohio reporters, said that even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, has said that "the Senate is not in recess."
Even Harry Reid is on our side. |

That won't happen. Are you surprised. It is all a game to these people. The best we can do is vote all incumbents out
during this election cycle. Continue it for the next two election cycles and show congress who they work for. Will we do it? NO you can't get two people to agree on where to go for lunch let alone get the apathetic public away from their xBox and Domino's pizza to vote. |

For a man who has made a career out fucking over people on technicalities, he knows full well he's got no standing here. Maybe he's doing the symbolic worthless action to stir up his base move, also makes me wonder what would have happened if his healthcare didn't get passed.

There should be a bill dissolving what Obama just did and smacking him with a repremand/censure.
Then again,I think a high number of Executive Orders are unConstitutional(as they ceate laws..which the President CANNOT DO according to the Constitution) and should be reviewed, as every new order should be. |

Every Democrat screamed about the potential for abuse of the Patriot Act . . . until Obama was sworn in. No politician admits that the new thing they are doing is explicity to garner more power, in violation of the Constitution or not, acting as though the other party will never have control of it. When the Democrats lose power they will start whining and crying about the abuses of this agency. Guarantee it. |

"Every day that Richard waits to be confirmed is another day when millions of Americans are left unprotected," the president will say. "Without a director in place, the consumer watchdog agency we've set up is left without the tools it needs to prevent dishonest mortgage brokers, payday lenders and debt collectors from taking advantage of consumers. That's inexcusable. It's wrong. And I refuse to take 'no' for an answer.
Think that Richard will help one single person his first day, much less his first week?!?!?
