In reply to the discussion: Hey purists: there's NO WAY Obama could have recess appointed Elizabeth Warren to head CFPB [View all]JohnnyRingo
(18,624 posts)People should generally be happy with that fact.
I know there was a time Obama wouldn't make this move for the apparent want of bipartisan cooperation on other issues, but it seems to most he's reaching the end of an all too long rope in that endeavor.
I suppose it could be taken at face value that President Obama is taking partisan action to accomplish long awaited government business, or maybe one can take the cynical view that he either purposely smited Ms Warren at the time, or is using this (and other appointments) to gain inner-party support going into an election year.
The end result in either case is that Obama has stood up to a recalcitrant republican minority to get his job done for the people. Complaining about that seems a bit petty.
On edit:
I reread the intent of the original post and see the sarcastic prose, but still had fun composing a wordy reply that I'll feel free to cut & paste into the inevitable future outrage post. LOL.
