Recess Appoint 'Em All!

President Obama once again drew the fire of the Republicans, by recess appointing 15 of his stalled nominees for various positions.

The Republicans of course want to block and obstruct everything the president seeks to do. So he really had no choice, unless he wants (as they do) the government to function without people in these important offices.

Sen. John McCain was the hypocrite of the day, lamenting that the president "little respect for the time honored constitutional roles and procedures of Congress." Time honored if you don't count the Bush administration, really not that long ago, about whose recess appointments, McCain said, "I would support it. It's the president's prerogative." Busted! Lamebrain.

Gee, I wonder what's changed!

The Republicans are a sickening bunch. They need to be thwarted. If President Obama has this authority, then why shouldn't he use it? Especially in the light of their blatant obstructionism. If he waited for the Republicans he'd be waiting forever. I'd just go ahead and recess appoint 'em all and say Suck on them lemons!

We have one president and one party who are trying to do the right thing. Then we have the Republicans, a party whose platform is vandalism.
