http://www.nationaljournal.com/obama...ureau-20120104President Obama will announce today that he will appoint Richard Cordray as head of the controversial Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during the Senate’s recess, the White House said.
The appointment comes to the dismay of Senate Republicans, who blocked Cordray’s nomination in order to weaken the bureau.
Speaking in a news conference after Cordray’s block Dec. 8, President Obama said he wouldn’t take any option off the table, but a recess appointment was not an option he favored.
"My hope and expectation is that the Republicans who block this nomination come to their senses," Obama said at the news conference. "And I know that some of them have made an argument, we just want to sort of make modifications in the law. Well, they are free to introduce a bill and get that passed."
Obam needs to do more of this: working within the law and rules but working AROUND GOP...
You mean breaking the intent of the highest law?
Repugs finally took some black meat up the ass.
All POTUS do this and for the GOP to whine about it they need to look at GWB's recess appointments.
Exactly. Recess appts. weren't invented by the current administration.
Yeah. But wasn't this one different in that the Senate technically wasn't on recess as they've been calling pro forma sessions daily?
The pro forma sessions were nothing but technical bull .....and a tool that both parties have tried to use over the years.

When did the Dems keep the House in session over holiday periods?
I'm sure the articles of impeachment are being filed as we speak.
The Senate wasn't in recess, according to all precedents. Obama is walking all over the cons ution and his liberals buddies are applauding him. November can't come soon enough!
I'm sure you were against pro forma sessions before you were for them.
what will happen in november?
That bull filibuster is the real problem here. Filibuster should be like time outs. Only X per session. use them wisely.
Obama wins re-election?
idiots...
If that is so, his appointment is invalid. This is an appointment requiring confirmation, right?
