Notice how—come election time, Obama gets some gonads!!
Maybe we should make him run for office every 6-months.

“He’s making a politically savvy move…”

Indeed. By waiting until Wednesday to make the appointment during the proforma session, rather than doing so during the Tuesday safe window of recess, O’b gets his cake silver plate. It’ll be open season on Cordray beginning with his first public utterance—we’ll find him standing in front of the ever-receptive SCOTUS in short order. The pro forma gambit was cheered when the otherwise spineless Reid employed it to stonewall GW’s attempts at recess appointments. Now it will come back to bite progressives on the behind while the president can sit back and say, once again, “It’s them, the GOP. I tried, honest…”

Obama may be getting his way. Corporate America may be getting their way. But the consumer who wants a responsible agency head that protects consumer’s rights is getting the shaft.

Again, here is the false narrative how Obama did something ‘bold’ while he fails to do the correct thing by failing to appoint Elizabeth Warren.

Of course, the intended audience for this, those who will vote democrat no matter how unacceptable Obama is to supposedly ‘democratic’ principles (ending the war, stopping corporate corruption, universal health care for all).

Don’t throw your vote away, vote third party.

Dear President Obama;

At long last, it seems that you have finally abandoned your noble quest for
“bipartisanship”.

The GOP is on the record that they will refuse to ‘compromise’.. and that all
they want is to destroy you.

I fully realize that you, the most honorable man in government, were trying to
fulfill a campaign promise to be inclusive and I fully realize that you, the most
erudite man in government felt compelled to do the “right thing” as an
American.

I also fully realize that you, the most patriotic man in government needed, at
least, to try and act with true leadership based on the ideals that were imbued
into your soul by your forebears, but you must realize by now that those whom
you are honestly trying to embrace hate you.

They hate the fact that you are smarter that they are… they hate the fact that
you won the election by stirring those who were rendered powerless by the
thugs who were your predecessors…

They hate the fact that you are a black man.

They will never ally themselves to you no matter what position you might take..
their singular purpose is to destroy your Administration.. even if it meant that
they would be abandoning their own best interests… even if it means bringing
the entire Country down with you.

They are worthless… worse, they are outright destructive.

Do the right thing, Mr. President.. and to hell with them if they don’t like it.

Pap.

The daily kos want us to thank the president by sending him an email

thank him for finally doing a tiny bit of his job

Daily Kos must have mental health issues for supporting him

Obama used a technique that even George W. Bush decided was too heavy-handed.
