Slow-on-the-uptake freepers fail to notice President Obama's 6 recess appointments
Just did a search on rimjob.com, and "Obama Recess Appointments" produces 2 results from August 2010. THEY MISSED IT! Boy, will THEY BE PISSED when they WAKE THE FUCK UP. ESPECIALLY since he made them from "his vacation in Hawaii."

:rofl:

Obama makes recess appointments
President uses Senate break to circumvent Republican objections and appoint six candidates to Justice and State
By JULIE PACE, Associated Press

President Barack Obama is bypassing the Senate and using his recess appointment power to name a deputy attorney general candidate who had been held up by Republicans over concerns about the nominee's links to American International Group.

Obama named James Cole to the Justice Department position on Wednesday. Cole was an independent consultant to AIG prior to its near collapse and government bailout in 2008. Senate Republicans complained that confidentiality agreements prevented them from receiving answers about his work for the company.

Cole was among six appointments that Obama announced from his vacation in Hawaii, including ambassadors to Turkey and Syria.

The recess appointments mean the six people can serve in their jobs through the end of 2011, when the Senate finishes its term.

1. Aren't Hannity and Beck and Rush doing their jobs?
Maybe they're on vacation, too.

... the only reason I note this is that I, too, was curious earlier to see just how high the fecal pile was going to be at the cesspool over this issue and searched merely for the term "recess."

BTW, still waiting for the first thread specific to their Queen, Christine O'donnell, and the now fully launched investigation into her co-mingling scam .... crickets. (Once this particular piece of shit hits the cesspool fan, you can rest assured a good show.)

I thought it was strange that they weren't screaming over this.

:rofl:

5. Indeed, and but one element that's....
... reflective of the entire structure and functionality of that site, proving:

1. wingnuts have a much lower standard of performance and excellence expectations not only in their "forums" but in general, e.g., Palin, O'Donnell, and the entire GOP/TeaBagger cabal;

2. their ignorance and blind faith is reflected in the fact that the cesspool suffers not only from a circa 1994 style blog, but also it endures frequent outages - only begging the question as to just why they still send that scum-bag, RimJob, over three hundred thousand dollars a year (most into his pocket, I personally believe) and do not demand at least a modicum of circa 2000 performance.

4. And I can find no mention of Maine's new teabagger governor giving his daughter a $41K job either.
Imagine that.
