"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it's likely the Senate will do the same."

/we all know it's different when liberals do it.

The people that aren't going to vote for Obama never would have in the first place, so he's not going to lose any votes there. Doing a recess appointment is only going to fire up his base (and possibly help millions of Americans since the positions are filled and work can be done).

Should just flip off Congress, put them in recess, and do the recess appointment.

winterwhile: Weaver95: geez...the Republicans seem really afraid of Obama this year.

no

You have to stop the Obama Fark ups somehow

or we won't survive untill Obama is gone in 2012

when was the last tiem you were proud to be an American??????

You're funny.

I think the Democrats did the same thing for a while during Bush's last 2 years when the Democrats regained control of the Senate. I think they did it at least one year during the summer.

GAT_00: "When the presiding officer brought the gavel down to end one session, he simultaneously began the next session," Koed says, "And in that split second it took the gavel to go down, Roosevelt appointed 193 people."

Catholic University law professor Victor Williams says President Obama should show similar audacity.

"He should not ignore the pro-forma sessions," Williams says. "He should explicitly, deliberately challenge them."

Fun stuff.

He absolutely should do that. a republican would and never bat an eye.
they'd even brag about it and get cheers.
but Obama is not the leader the liberals need.
He's lost me.
I won't vote for a republican but if given a better alternative I'd take it in a heartbeat.
I wish Elizabeth Warren or someone like her was running. Feingold or Kucinich maybe.
Obama has turned out to be a pushover politically. Too much in bed with the same people as the GOP.
And as much as the GOP cry about him being a socialist they know he's cut from the same cloth pretty much.
The true powers that be aren't going to allow a true liberal with socialist leanings to get the office.

Kyro: winterwhile: this is why Obama needs to go

Why not both?

winterwhile: no

This guy is PURE POETRY.

I LOVE YOU, winterwhile!!!!!!

"But there is this other provision that says, well, if the two houses themselves can't agree on an adjournment, the president can adjourn Congress," Ritchie says. "It's just that no president has ever exercised that constitutional authority."

DO IT. They're not doing a damned thing.

runwiz: I think the Democrats did the same thing for a while during Bush's last 2 years when the Democrats regained control of the Senate. I think they did it at least one year during the summer.

nowhere near to the extent that this congress is doing it. and only after Bush made several key recess appointments.

Obama has made like 18 and Bush made 171

And despite the Dems having a majority in the senate he's had twice as many judicial appointments blocked than Bush when the Dems had control of the Senate then.

Kyro: winterwhile: this is why Obama needs to go



Let me leave this here:



/no I am pretty sure, you are farking retarded for responding to that waste of space.

Well, at least winterwhile finally write something besides "spend baby spend" with a couple of sentence fragments scattered in for flavor.

Still retardedperson probably has a personality disorder, but he's a republican, so that's more or less par for the course.

Kyro: To be fair, I don't venture into literland all that often. Primarily due to the huge wave of weak trolls.

Wait till he gets TF, then you will be familiar with him.

All the idiot alt trolls eventually get TF nowadays.

Obama should definitely do the "split-second recess appointment" thing from the article. It's not as if Congress could get its ass in gear to do anything about it.

ox45tallboy: Hey, Kyro said he doesn't often grace us Liters with his presence, so maybe he is merely uneducated regarding wastes of space like winterwhile.

Seems unlikely, only liter threads are shown, so this makes lots of activity in liter land, he is an idiot.

Yeah, but cut him some slack. He toils away, night and day pretending to run a small business, asking nothing in return but for Sarah Palin to show up at his door, put on a strap-on and a mask, and give him what for while he tearfully exclaims "MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, RONNIE!"

He's a very special person, in the "olympics you're not supposed to laugh at" special kind of way.

WAR on CHRISTMAS!

That's not even one post a day in literland, rocket scientist.

their last breath? all of congress died? whats the nicest DC funeral home? seems like a good moment to invest.

Richard Cordry and the Consumer Protection Agency is making the Republicans wet their pants with fear. That and gay people.

Hatch says it would be politically unwise to adjourn congress? What...would the Rebpublicans stop compromising on legislation?

winterwhile: FW:FW:FW:FW;FW:FW:FW:FW: this is why 0bama NEEDS TO GO


Let me get this straight . . ..

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are FORCED to purchase and fined if we don't, which
purportedly covers at least TEN MILLION more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for

16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose CHAIRMAN says he doesn't understand it, passed by a

Congress that didn't read it but EXEMPTED themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding
administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be TAXED for four years before any


benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE, all to be



overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

Fixed (to look like the original chain mail winterwhile received this morning)

CapnBlues: Why is Obama trying to appoint daily show correspondents to cabinet level positions? WTF is this guy's problem?

Clearly you need a visit with Surgeon General and Chief Fark Psychologist Samantha Bee.

This one is a big deal to corporations, so it's a big deal to their congress muppets.

Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch says taking such a measure "would be a very unwise political thing to do."

Here's the thing, Orrin. Taking such a measure might piss off Republican voters, sure. But it would embolden liberals and Democrat voters, we'd actually be able to convince ourselves Obama has a spine and is willing to fight for some of this shiat rather than cave all the time. Hell, it might not even piss off Republican voters that much. The GOP is playing games with the recess, they don't get to be pissed when the Dems start playing games right back.

I think it would be an extremely wise political thing to do.

ox45tallboy: Was going by what he said. But 1600 threads in 6 years of Farking

Ya, I have 3 more years on him, and have less than 500 more posts. He also has several hundred greenlights, so I expect he never posts in them right?

Does not change the fact that even if he saw winter post for the first time ever, he should have been able to recognise the obvious troll, and since he did not, he is an idiot. Case farking closed.
