Well, the controversy merely arrived later.
More and more, I favor a six year Presidency and no consecutive second term.
This was Cass Sunstein’s handywork:
begin quote:
At the Environmental Protection Agency, for example, a former official said that only two managers had the authority to request a major rule in 2012: then-administrator Lisa P. Jackson and deputy administrator Bob Perciasepe. Perciasepe and OIRA’s director at the time, Cass Sunstein, would have “weekly and sometimes semi-weekly discussions” to discuss rules that affected the economy, one said, because they had political consequences, the person said.
“As we entered the run-up to the election, the word went out the White House was not anxious to review new rules,” the former official said.
Sunstein, who has returned to his post as a Harvard Law School professor, declined to comment.

Delayed new regulations?
Why bother?
Romney and the 2012 GOP leadership would never have noticed.
In fact, they probably helped write some of them!
Holy Captain Obvious!
Gee, do ya think? Obama is going to cram as much through the Senate as he can, in terms of nominations, treaties, etc. because he can see the end of a Democratic majority in the Senate right about November 4th, 2014. The pressure on Ruth Bader Ginsberg will be enormous - Obama would like to replace her with a clone who is 44 years old and healthy. Republicans need to figure out how to stretch the confirmation process as long as possible, by all means, to prevent Obama from doing further damage in an effort to avoid the consequences of Democracy. He is ruthless, and while I am pleased that the Washington Post woke up for long enough to write this, the rest of the media is like a turning aircraft carrier. It will take a very long time, and a lot of damage can be done before November.
Oh, how I hope to see the day when these people are tried in court. And I hope the first one is that little slimy Jay Carney. I guarantee he’d sing like a canary for a deal.
These are the kinds of political shenanigans that a watchdog press is supposed to expose. A free press that chooses to be subservient is pointless and impotent.
“limits on dangerous silica exposure in the workplace”
That will be interesting. There are very effective personal protective gear but you must enforce its use. Keeping the workplace free of silica can be prohibitively expensive which may be what the anti capitalists are really after. More regulatory government jobs and fewer private sector ones.
Thanks. I doubt this one will be brought up on the talk shows. /s
PIng.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So Obama didn’t want the voters to have a say about his policies. We shouldn’t be surprised considering his past statements about democracy.
The media's job in a free republic is to ensure whatever Obama says is believed and unchallenged.
What if right now while their numbers have tanked to their lowest point ever they still have us under control and we don't get it?
What if it's almost a year before the 2014 elections and they have it figured out to bring up amnesty several months before the election? Boner has already said he will take it up. What if the timing is such that amnesty takes out all the oxygen in the air just about election time? What if this one move keeps us from getting the Senate back by just a few votes?
Any chance that happening,or every chance?
