He is beside himself because Obama had the audacity to make the recess appointments he did. It is unconstitutional, he yelped.
Somedays Rush is simply entertaining. How dare the President stand up to the obstructionist Republicans.

As for rush, well, the more he howls, the more I know the object of his outrage is doing the right thing.

(27,670 posts)Limbaugh's exploding head is some awesome collateral damage.
I love seeing a Democrat show some serious spine, it's always the right thing to do and in this case it's a total big win.
Hope the Prez continues to kick ass like this; he might even get me to get out and campaign for him if he does.

JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)which means the Republicans in the Senate can't really do anything to stop it because they have no majority with which to vote to sue or do anything else.
Here's a great article on this:
Does the GOP really want to argue procedure in order to stand up for payday lenders or the people who market rip-off prepaid credit cards? You know, the folks who extract usurious interest rates and hidden fees from working class people? Are these the "job creators" that House Speaker John Boehner loves to protect from excess regulations?
Surely, the White House has to be delighted with this turn of events. It's practically a campaign commercial. Mr. Obama could scarcely have been provided a better example to put to voters in a swing state: "A minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people we were elected to serve," as Mr. Obama himself observed yesterday in northern Ohio.
. . . .
Admittedly, a recess appointment is hardly the best way to install someone in such an important job. But it's even more unreasonable to abuse the Senate's advise and consent function to shut down an entire agency. Ultimately, the public is not likely to be sympathetic to the GOP's scorched earth strategy to protect 400 percent interest rates.

Obama was right and smart at the same time on this.
I had my doubts about Cordray, but if Elizabeth Warren likes him, I figure he's OK. Apparently he is from Ohio and liked by Ohio voters. That gives Obama something to campaign on in Ohio.
My concern has been that I personally was aware of fraud in mortgage lending and nothing has been done to those who lied and cheated and encouraged borrowers to exaggerate their wealthy.
At least Obama has taken a step in the right direction.
