“Taking time out from his Hawaiian vacation to assert some executive authority”
Can you imagine how CNN would have worded it if Bush did it? I’m so glad CNN is tanking. Not a moment too soon, either.
Niiiice.....and she voted FOR the Dream Act.
Bush couldnt do it. The Rats wouldnt recess the Senate when he was in.....
Who the HELL appoints these people?
Good point. But didn’t he catch a lot of flack for recess appointing Bolton to the UN? I don’t recall any of the CNN metrosexuals hyperventilating because Bush had ‘asserted some executive authority’.
John Boehner neeeds to bring in Cesar Millan (the dog whisper) Obama needs to be paper trained. The dems trained
W using the impeachment threat. Boehner needs to take away Obamas credit card.

The July 4th holiday reminds us of lofty ideals drawn from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution about the importance of democracy, participatory government and checks and balances.
Similarly, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement announcement reminds us of the critical importance of the Senate's role in overseeing a president's nominees for high offices.
Yet, this week, we may witness an action that undermines those cherished American values if President Bush does an end-run around Congress and installs John Bolton as the U.S. representative to the United Nations with a recess appointment.
That cowardly action would insult Congress and the world, undermine U.S. credibility overseas and mock the democracy we celebrate.
It would also sink Bush - who has the lowest approval rating of a second-term president since Nixon during the Watergate scandal - even further in the eyes of the American public.
Whoa—excellent research! I hadn’t remembered it was that bad. The good news is that fewer and fewer people watch them. Let’s hope that trend continues and excellerates.
I remember the recess Bolton apptmt - this was after the usual character assassination by the Dems when Bush first nominated Bolton. They dug up some very damaging things about Bolton - like he was “mean” sometimes to his staff! So, the Dems needed to protect the UN from this testy guy.
On Vacation and still hosing down America.
Der FuerOr leads where no one wants to follow.
Just reveals the true coward that he really is.
I don’t think hyperventilate was really the word I was looking for. I should have said ‘salivate’. It just sounds to me like some CNN girlymen are getting weak kneed at the thought of Obama’s assertion of executive authority. Which is an icky image to say the least.
