Well it seems Commissar Obama, the Nanny-in-Chief, has made a number of recess appointments in his continuing effort to ignore the legislative branch of government. It reminds one of President Franklin Roosevelt who tried to pack the Supreme Court in order to rubber stamp his actions as opposed to acquiescing to the judicial branch. It seems Lord Acton was on target about power corrupting those who have it.
In this recent unconstitutional move, President Obama named Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Board and he also made three new members of the pro-union National Labor Relations Board. It is quite obvious that none of these appointments has anything to do with any national emergency or exigent circumstance of any type. These are just the actions of an arrogant socialist trying to control everything in an unprecedented power grab. This is a good tactic since most people are busy watching the economy while the president plays sleight of hand with the legislative powers of Congress to approve these presidential appointments. Hard to approve or deny them when Congress is not in session. The operative dichotomy is to approve or deny!! Yes, Congress, in particular the Senate, has that power. The House has something better, that body has the powers of the "purse string" and the power of impeachment, although the Senate tries the offender.
Therein lies the rub. President Obama refuses to be denied anything in a time when many Americans are denying themselves many things due to the struggling economy. This action seems in sharp contrast to his initial laissez faire attitude when he began his administration. At that time, he let the Democrat controlled Congress produce a pork-u-lus bill which he eagerly signed and thereby committed the American taxpayers to a Herculean debt never before seen in world history! Then to quell the public criticism and political fire storm he caused by doing so, he met with members of Congress to discuss the situation and plainly told John McCain that he lost the presidential race and he won. Therefore, President Obama could do what he wanted and then he told the rest of the duly elected representatives of the taxpayers to (blank) off!
Alas, commissars are like that. We mere mortals who pay taxes to support the many levels of government and the many parasitic members of our society, just don't understand. We are too busy clinging to our religion and guns to truly appreciate the genius of the Dear Leader. O yes, it was quite apparent last year that the very debt commission he appointed, got it wrong too. It was a good thing he was there to propose to decrease the debt by only one quarter of what his commissioners recommended. Bad commissioners, I hope they were banished to a salt mine. (Oh, Uncle Joe Stalin, only now we realize how brilliant you were!)
Is there any good news? Yes, yes, yes! There is a presidential election coming up, that is of course, if President Obama does not cancel it.
I still believe in the American form of republican government. No president yet has destroyed this great country, only because we didn't allow it to happen. Get off your (blank) and vote!
