“independent” federal agency? Have you lost your ever lovin’ mind? Who do you think gets appointed to run it?

The FCC is directed by five commissioners appointed by the U.S. president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate for five-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term.

So how is that Barry has control of it, only being in office 2+ years?

So how is that Barry has control of it, only being in office 2+ years?

Did you look up the commissioners?

Julius Genachowski 	Democrat	New York	Jun 29, 2009	 
Meredith Attwell Baker 	Republican	Texas		July 31, 2009	 
Mignon Clyburn  	Democrat	South Carolina	August 3, 2009	

There's also Robert M McDowell, Republican, Virginia, appointed Jun 1, 2006 so his term expires this summer and one vacancy because Democrat Michael J. Copps' term expired in Dec 2010.

Now tell us again how FCC is NOT in Obama's pocket?
