Is anyone surprised? We let this government go too far a long time ago.
I wonder when he’ll appoint Bill Ayers to something. Ayers was in the White House three times. What do you think he was doing there? Helping write the healthcare bill and that’s probably where the student loan provision came from.
Another bold gesture by “the One” to bring us all together in his tranquil post-partisan world.

Personally, I believe that recess appointments should only be for the period between Congresses, not brief breaks.
Communists and Socialists ALL! You can bet on that!
People so disreputable they would not receive confirmation.
What does that tell you about his choices?
I wish he would appoint himself some common sense.
Anyone else find it odd, this info is released as Sarah Palin is due to speak?
It isn’t Soros that is the puppet master. It’s SEIU and the Chicago thug machine. He is a one term president. 2012 can’t come soon enough.
The darn thing about euphoria of “spite” though is that there’s no way to buy its loyalty! It’s like Afghans, just when you think they’re your friend, they switch sides and stabs you in the back!
obummer’s time is short and fleeting in the bigger scheme of things, but the damage he is causing to all African Americans’ w/ political aspirations in the future is incalculable.
He’s appointing a new judge from ARIZONA to the “9th Circus”. Her sister is President of La Raza.
******* dictator.
Every one is a scumbag.
No suprise here folks, since the SEIU union owns the Chicago crook Obama.
Before Snowpocalypse II hit Washington yesterday, the Senate squeezed in a brush back to President Obama and his friends at Big Labor. As the old saw goes, elections have consequences, and the one on the mind of legislators took place in Massachusetts last month.
Democrats Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln joined with Republicans to block cloture on a closely watched vote on the appointment of a lawyer for Andy Stern’s Service Employees International Union to a seat on the National Labor Relations Board. As glaring was that only 52 Democratic Senators dared record their support for Craig Becker’s nomination.
Speaking earlier in the day, President Obama hinted that he would be prepared to make recess appointments. Mr. Becker may be first on his list. If that happens, this confirmation battle should be clarifying about the NLRB’s legal remit.
Mr. Becker ran into trouble from the moment his nomination came up last April. Among the nominees for the three open seats on the five-member board, his views stood out for their radicalism. In a law review article, Mr. Becker said the NLRB could rewrite union-election rules to favor labor by fiatfor example, by removing the requirement for a secret ballot.
His supporters at the SEIU saw an opportunity to run around Congress, which has so far failed even to vote on Big Labor’s dream of a “card check” law that would make it much easier to organize. While an employee of the SEIU and the AFL-CIO last year, Mr. Becker also helped prepare several pro-labor executive orders issued by Mr. Obama. He failed to clarify his role during the confirmation process.
Explaining his opposition, Senator Nelson noted that Mr. Becker would bring “an aggressive personal agenda” to the NLRB, whose “main responsibility is to resolve labor disputes with an even and impartial hand.” The board supervises union elections, investigates labor practices and interprets the National Labor Relations Act.

These people are apparently so horrendously unqualified and dangerous that Obama could not get his own party to confirm them in the Senate.
