Obama bypasses Senate, appoints envoy to Syria (Constitution means nothing to the imposter)
jpost ^ | 12/30/10

Robert Ford to become first US ambassador to Damascus since 2005; opponents say move rewards Syrian regime for bad behavior. Talkbacks (30) WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama has bypassed the US Senate and directly appointed four new ambassadors, including Robert Ford, who will become the first US envoy to Syria since 2005.

Specific senators had blocked or refused to consider the confirmations of the nominees for various reasons, including questions about their qualifications. But in the most high-profile case, that of the new envoy to Syria, a number of senators objected because they believed sending an ambassador to the country would reward it for bad behavior.

"Making undeserved concessions to Syria tells the regime in Damascus that it can continue to pursue its dangerous agenda and not face any consequences from the US," Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the incoming chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement. "That is the wrong message to be sending to a regime which continues to harm and threaten US interests and those of such critical allies as Israel."

Teaching tolerence for iSlam? This from a guy who talks of his “Christian faith”?

For Obama? Its the ..current policy from the white house.....the marginalization and destruction of America.

Obama , culturally never was an American as he carries many chips on his shoulder and as we see from his old culture at many levels. He feels for his Kenyan identity, he feels for his muslim identity, and he feels his angst against white and America....

Its all about death to America....death to the great satan!
from a previous posting, see second last paragraph...

His drive against America is demonstrated in his unfettered support of the OIC driven “UN”.

On top of it, Obama is a Muslim wanabe or Wahabe, I call him a ghazi.

“One of the prettiest sounds on earth” is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.
Barack Hussein Obama as quoted by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York Times - March 6, 2007

• The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

All this brings on a interesting question... how can America have any struggle against Islam, or protect herself with the most powerful muslim in the world sitting in the White House?

Be wary, wary aware ....and wary, wary afraid...get prepared for more creeping sharia...more than what is coming out of the White House today

Sadly, recess appointments are legal. Many, many Presidents used them.

Syria pours millions of illegal foreign money into Dhimmicrat coffers, so any appointee is basically a bag man.

I don’t argue with your premise and conclusions, but it’s important to be accurate.

The Indonesian school which Obama attended was not a madrassa, but rather Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta.

He was registered as an Indonesian citizen, religion Islam.

“Sadly, recess appointments are legal. Many, many Presidents used them.”

but do they use them to change foreign policy by reestablishing relations with one of the worst terrorist countries, one that our Congress and past Presidents consistently condemned?

We all have different opinions.

My belief is he will regress to his adolescent framing of the world. His cultural identification is not American. Its Indonesian muslim and within that political indoctrination, it calls for a caliphate. Along the way in his development he was steeped in cold war politics by his father thus the Marxist leanings, so we will see both exhibited.

The most powerful man in the world will strive for those goals, but, In his mind, Islam will dominate.

Yep. That's how John Bolton became UN Ambassador. Bush recess-appointed him when the Senate stonewalled.

As Glen Beck pointed out several times, Congres is well on its way to making itself irrelevant.

nobama’s appointments tick me off. And I really, really dislike nobama.

But your addition to the article’s headline is way out of line. Nothing unconstitutional was done here. No laws were broken.

I didn’t express an opinion, other than that I agree with your points.

What I posted were just facts. Obama didn’t attend an islamic madrassa, but rather a Catholic school, where he was enrolled as a muslim.

It’s important that we keep our facts straight, because any exaggeration or error will be used by the left to discredit all the truth we tell.

To reinterate, I don’t have a different opinion from yours, just a correction to your list of evidence.

Isn't the "final report" on the assassination of Hariri supposed to be made public any day now?

Won't Obama look like a fool (again) if, as expected, Syria is implicated in the assassination?

Where are the howls of protest from the MSM (I know, I know - we already know the answer to that one) and more importantly, where are the howls of protest from the Republicans in Congress? They should be all over this outrage.

Your addition to the title maybe correct but it has nothing to do with a recess appointment.

Exactly. Obama isn’t the first to use Recess appointments.

He has that right and the right to issue Executive Orders.

He has already destroyed the reputation of the Justice Department, EPA, ICE, ATF, Immigration & Naturalisation, FAA,TSA,How many others.

He is digging us a hole we may never get out of, He is so good at it he can do it in his 15 minutes he isn’t playing Golf or Basketball, or working out, He is so good he can screw us while on one of his many vacations.

It doesnt matter what he does: The Democrats and the Media back him. So why complain?

He is here for two more years. Hopefully he will hang himself , the leadership of the Republican party is giving him enough rope. In fact his rope stretches round the world already, and yet they give him more.

Aren’t recess appointments only valid until the end of the current congress? When Congress changes, for example, from the 111th congress to the 112th, don’t they have to face confirmation?
