Krauthammer was outraged over this but thought it would work politically in Obama's favor--the public won't understand or care about the legal or constitutional issues and Obama can pose as caring for the consumer while the Republicans are just worrying about millionaires and corporations.

Fox managed to find some legal expert from the GWB administration to say that he thought that Obama probably had the better of the legal issue. Incredible. Plus they kept saying these appointees would be in office through the end of 2013--I don't see how that works when the upcoming session of Congress ends before Jan. 3, 2013, when the people elected in November 2012 begin their terms.

I noticed the Lame Stream Media pulling out old Bush lawyers but not one of them mentioned that Bush never recess appointed when the Senate was in Pro Forma Session. While the lawyers probably told Bush he could get by with it, he never did it because he knew it was Unconstitutional.

So how is this guy and his subordinates going to be paid? I thought the House was in charge of that?
