Did Bush make any such appointments?
I'll be darned, he's resigning! Oh, wait, my mistake, I took him at his word.
“Postponing the need for Senate approval.”
In other words, the cowardly bastards in the Senate don’t want to have to ask any kind of controversial questions of one of Premier Hussein’s Czars while they are already desperately trying to hold on to “their” seats.
This is cover for the Dhimmies ahead of the November elections, and nothing else.
Sneakin’ In da Freaks!
Caliphates don’t need Senate confirmation. It’s beneath them.
Did any of these four have committee hearings at least? Were they blocked by the GOP? Or were they like the new Medicare Director who never even had a hearing scheduled by the Dems?
including a new U.S. ambassador to El SalvadorThanks bd476.

Transparency ... Chicago style.
From the Wikipedia article it appears many presidents do this, however here is Obama’s history:
“On March 27, 2010, President Barack Obama continued the practice of recess appointments with 15 appointees to boards and agencies including the contentious choice of union lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.[11]
On July 7, 2010, Obama made three more recess appointments: Donald Berwick to be the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Joshua Gutbaum to be a director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; and Philip E. Coyle III to be Associate Director for National Security and International Affairs in the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President.[12]
On August 19, 2010, Obama made four more recess appointments: Maria del Carmen Aponte to be Chief of Mission for El Salvador; Elisabeth Hagen to be Under Secretary for Food Safety in the United States Department of Agriculture; Winslow Sargeant to be Chief Counsel for Advocacy in the Small Business Administration; and Richard Sorian to be an Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the United States Department of Health and Human Services.”[13]

Pelosi tell the American public to shut its mouth, Pete Stark tell his own voting district that the Fed Gov can do anything it wants, Dem Congress bich Bean bring thug to public town hall to openly intimidate, Holder tell America it can’t prosecute because Black panthers are BLACK, Obama sarcastically puts down American public for their opposition to his Health Care Socialist nirvana stating “you would think that they would THANK ME”, DOJ is now using the force of the Government against Arizona, and back to Pleosi (where the circle rejoins and continues) as the 3rd MOST Powerful Politician in America say those who oppose the GZ Mosque should be investigated...
what does it all mean?
Lawlessness and open legal defiance of the Constitution is what this tin pot dictator’s Regime is all about!
But November 2 is coming and with it a reckoning that will turn this country on its azz and back to where its soul resides.

One of his appointments is a woman who was married to a man who spied for Cuba...AGAINST America.
What a surprise that she is high on O’s list.
Why not, the dude’s a dictator wannabe.
Amazing how people can rant and rave about Bush, for no reason, and ignore this. I guess it’s an endorsement of power grabs, if they’re done by a leftist.
Congress lets the President get away with it.
Doesn’t his own party control Congress?
Wouldn’t these appointments expire at the end of this Congress? I thought they did.
That would mean this guy would have a whole lot of appointments to re-up come January.
Hopefully the Republicans will have a solid majority by then.
This is huge news coming on the heels of Barack Obama’s support for the Ground Zero Mosque.
He has appointed Maria del Carmen Aponte to be Ambassador to El Salvador.
Three United States Senators have a hold on her nomination. Why? Because she had a longterm relationship with a top Cuban spy. She withdrew as a Clinton appointee back in the 90’s because of it.
Senators questioned whether or not Aponte knew about her lover’s spying on the United States and had other serious concerns related to that relationship.
How will the American public react when they learn Barack Obama has bypassed Congress to put an avowed socialist in charge of health care and the lover of a communist spy in charge of our relationship with El Salvador?
On the other hand, this will hopefully convince people that Barack Obama really isn’t a foreign born Manchurian candidate. No Manchurian candidate would ever have been so incompetent.
