Obama Trolls Senate Republicans: Progressives Delighted

[Nekoland]

I am not a fan of Obama, and I know little to nothing about what this bureau's function is.

All I can tell is that the senators are keeping Congress in session (likely costing us money...I mean, isn't this like...Legislature Over-Time or somethin'?) to try and prevent Obama from appointing a person to a bureau they don't control strongly enough, thus preventing the bureau from actually functioning.

So we're spending money in order to prevent something from running properly because it doesn't run the way they'd like it to run? Seems pretty inefficient to me.

In their minds,it makes sense...

[The Black Forrest]

sadly this wont do anything since Obama just pissed off most of the country while making the smaller percent happier

Well?

Part of leadership means doing that. It's a start for him. But, I will wait for further examples before I get happy.

He's also doing it for the National Labor Relations Board.

[The Black Forrest]

Yes, I would like to see republican congressmen flopping on the floor and foaming at the mouth.

We might be able to get Cantor and Boehner to do just that.

Boehner?

Not really.

Ah, see, I didn't notice that. Thanks for correcting me. So why is this a huge issue again...?

It isn't. The news is that the Republicans flipped out.

The press seems much more sympathetic to recess appointments by Democratic Party Presidents than Republican Presidents.

However, I generally like it when a vacant and important position is filled by recess appointment, U.N. Ambassador, Appeals Court justice, or the like. This seems to me to be just another effing bureaucratic "czar".

Mhm... what problem do you have with it You-Gi-Owe? Your logic makes no sense.

He's filling a position because Congress wouldn't. What's wrong with that?

All Congresses get their panties in a wad over recess appointments. It's really not unexpected or new.

And if Congress wouldn't plop their family jewels under a poised guillotine, then you suppose the President ought to place his in the ready spot?

Fuck yeah. Obama has apparently stolen someone's spine and he looks ready to beat the Republicans over the head with it. More info to follow.

What do you think of this developement?

1.) No, but it's still news.

Let's hope he doesn't lose his spine again.

1.) Those who do not know history are destined to repeat it.

2.) Just because someone refused to do something doesn't mean it ought to be done.

Filling a government position?

Yeah, it should be done.

Yeah, it should be done.

He's arguing that it shouldn't be done unless the bureau is completely useless.

I don't quite follow that logic. Why shouldn't a position be filled because some old men are gibbering away for no reason?

Because... socialism... Nazis... Dodd-Frank... Reagan...

[JuNii]

and because someone else did it, that makes it perfectly ok for anyone else to do it.

What, exactly, is your objection to recess appointments?

the fact that it's used to bypass the process because other people object.

Yeah, it should be done.

Seriously, do we need more paid government positions that allocate more taxpayer dollars? I really doubt it.

How about getting rid of some useless government postions? The Department of Energy, perhaps? The Department of Agriculture, too, perhaps?

And the third one, perhaps? What was it called again...

[Vilayet]

the fact that it's used to bypass the process because other people object.

It doesn't bypass the process when other people object because no matter what, the appointee is subject to congressional review once the appointment is made. What it does do is bypass the procedural equivalent of filibustering in which a group of congressmen decide to meet once every three days for a negligible amount of time in order to circumvent an entire section of the Constitution because the President won't let them make an entire federal department their bitch.

And what does that have to do with this?

He hired a man to fill a job that needed to be filled. No one asked you how you felt about unrelated departments.

I'm personally glad that I live on the right side of Henrico County (that is the side that isn't represented by Eric Cantor).

Cantor maybe. Boehner would just cry.
