Illegally Appointed Director "Goes to Work"

He was illegally appointed as a “recess appointment” while Congress was still in session (I don’t know if there is a penalty for Obama in doing that, but I am not holding my breath until someone in Washington finds the backbone to call him on it). “President Barack Obama named [Richard] Cordray, 52, as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in a recess appointment during a visit last week to suburban Cleveland. Republicans critical of the new agency had managed to block the appointment since July, saying the agency has too much power with too little input from Congress. Despite Cordray's background of bipartisan appeal, Senate Republicans blocked his confirmation in December.” Obama says, “If Congress won’t do their job, I’ll do it without them.” Since when is disagreeing with the president and blocking him “not doing their job?” What a FOOL this president is if he thinks the American people will buy this bullsh-t.
