Are the republicans actually going to do something for a change or are they going to sit on the side lines and cry?

The recess appointment means Cordray stands to serve for at least the next two years.

The AP is not in the bag for Obama's reelection, no...

So, who’s gonna’ take the sob on? Does anyone in the country have “standing” when it comes to opposing the tyrant in chief?

There needs to be a joint press conference on this this ASAP. It should not stand.

Yup, crying is all the gop will do. Maybe the most worthless two women on the planet, boehner and mcconnel, can get together and cry together.

Boehner will cry. It’s what he does best.

If any of them had a spine, they’d defund that abomination. Obama can appoint whoever he wants - no money is no money.

But the R’s all wear pink ties and won’t do a damn thing.

at a minimum, the appointee should be publicly vetted, since Obama has bypassed the normal process. Any girlfriends? Boyfriends? Bad habits?

It sounded to me like Obama is selling us a benign dictatorship. Gotta get things done to “help” working folks, yes siree.

Exactly. Even when the Dems are out numbered, they never give up when they have something on their minds.

The republicans better grow a damn back bone and fight for this country or step down and let someone who cares about this country to get in their and fight!!!!

Obama just provided another talking point for Newt in the upcoming debates.

Great! Going forward any Republican President can do the same. They can start with appointing conservative judges to SCOTUS.

This was done very deliberately. There was a small window in which Obama could have made a legal recess apt. He let it slide by, and then did this SO AS to get in congress’ face. Congress is pathetically unpopular right now and O’s plan is run against them. So he will be picking fight after fight and positioning himself as the champion of the people who gets things done despite the dysfunctional congress.

He should have been challenged on a fundamental level long ago. The Ruling Class Elites in the GOP leadership appeased him instead, and this is their reward. Unfortunately, we, not they, are the ones that will pay the price.
