Obama, frustrated with having his appointments denied or stalled by Republican senators, made 15 recess appointments. Normally his appointments would have to be approved by the Senate, but with the Senate out on recess, Obama's appointments will go through without approval.
The Republican's largest complaint is the appointment of Craig Becker, a lawyer that works for the Service Employee's International Union (SEIU)* and the AFL-CIO.
The president also appointed 3 new members to the Equal Opportunities Employment Commission. Are we really still doing that shit!?!
"I simply cannot allow partisan politics to stand in the way of the basic functioning of government," says Obama. I'm tempted to repeat an idiom about pots and kettles, but will refrain because I'm sure someone misuse it as proof of racism, rather than my trying to point out hypocrisy.
