No recess appointments for Obama.

[coadie]

And Republicans scored a victory by ensuring Obama can't make recess appointments before the Senate returns for official business November 15.

Obama is famous for clandestine behavior.

This Republican demand is widely viewed as specifically retaliation for Obama's recess appointment of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS) Administrator Donald Berwick, who gained that post without a Senate confirmation hearing, despite the facts that the CMMS will be a major center of implementation of "Obamacare," and Berwick is — notwithstanding the Administration's claims that health reform would not entail rationing of health care — a public proponent of the British health system and rationing.

Berwick is a dirt bag and we knew Obama wanted him very badly and didn't want congress to question Berwick's dangerous values and statements.

Remember Obama promised transparency and had no intention of being transparent.

"NICE decides which healthcare people will get and which they won’t." Philip Klein in The American Spectator dubbed him “Obama’s Rationing Man.” The chairman of NICE called these statements "outrageous lies."

Now the rationing man should have his day explaining his scary statements in front of congress. Berwick wanted to copy the UK system which is a disaster.

Didn't Dubya do his share of recess appointments?

There is no comparison. None.

In two terms, Bush made 171 recess appointments

Example

Bypassing the Senate confirmation process, President Bush used a recess appointment to grant U.S. District Judge Charles Pickering a spot on the federal appeals bench.

The president's move Friday stokes a long-simmering feud with Senate Democrats over judicial nominations, including a two-year struggle involving Pickering.
Democrats have stalled Pickering's nomination by keeping Republicans from getting the votes needed to break a filibuster in the GOP-controlled Senate. The judge previously failed to receive confirmation when Democrats were in charge of the Senate.

They had hearings on this guy and stalled on an up or down vote for 2 years.

Berwick was appointed before they had a chance to do 30 minutes of hearings from either party.

By Democrat delays, many jobs ran unfilled over a year. Reid started in 2007 not being out of session more than 3 days in order to prevent recess appointments. Obama does his before they are even presented to the senate.

Thank you.

An emboldened President Obama filled 15 key administration posts Saturday by bypassing the Senate.
Among the appointees was Craig Becker, a Chicago-based labor attorney whose nomination to the National Labor Relations Board was blocked last month in the Senate.

Business groups had said that Becker was too supportive of organized labor to serve on the five-member board, which rules on unfair-labor-practice claims, and Republican senators had warned Obama not to use the congressional Easter recess to appoint him.

Democrats have this emotional bond with unions and union thugs.

So in Chicago crime style, he appoints a union mess from 2 of the dirtier unions to:

Becker is the associate general counsel to the Service Employees International Union and the AFL-CIO. He received a law degree from Yale Law School. He has argued labor and employment cases before many appellate courts and the Supreme Court.

Gotta do unions a favor.

In a statement Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called Obama's appointment of Becker "yet another episode of choosing a partisan path despite bipartisan opposition."

I wonder how many are tax cheats?
