President Barack Obama says he won't take "no" as an answer from Republicans, so he's going around them to appoint the head of a new consumer protection agency. Obama says Republicans would just keep holding Richard Cordray's nomination hostage—and the president says that's inexcusable and wrong.
He says Cordray must be in place in order for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to start helping consumers deal with unscrupulous mortgage companies, dishonest payday lenders, and others.
Obama announced the appointment of Cordray during a stop Wednesday in Ohio, where Cordray once served as attorney general.
Republicans are outraged but Obama says he has an obligation to act when Congress refuses to.
The recess appointment means Cordray stands to serve for at least the next two years.

Omullah ripped a page right out of Stalin’s book. What is the urgency, that Congress cannot vet him?

So what are the retaliation plans, Mr. McConnell?
Interesting considering that the Senate is STILL IN SESSION. That makes these “recess” appointments illegal.
So GOP, got balls enough to shove this back down Barry’s throat? Considering he is an illegal POTUS you better start taking your testosterone supplements.
He even hates his own party.
SEC. 1066. INTERIM AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary is authorized to perform the functions of the Bureau under this subtitle until the Director of the Bureau is confirmed by the Senate in accordance with section 1011.
(b) INTERIM ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY.—The Department of the Treasury may provide administrative services necessary to support the Bureau before the designated transfer date.

At the least, it can be argued that the Director cannot perform any of his duties, and they must continue to be performed by the Secretary of the Treasury, until confirmed by the Senate
Unfortunately.....you can’t “grow” what you don’t have in the first place...ie a set of nads.
We’re screwed.
“The republicans better grow a damn back bone and fight for this country or step down and let someone who cares about this country to get in their and fight!!!!”
That will force another Constitutional Crisis because the Senate is allowed to make its own rules, not the President. The President's "opinion" of Congress' status is irrelevant.
That is why McConnell, with Boehner at his side to show Republican unity, must state that they will not accept the appointments as a proper legal act and will treat the positions as still vacant, and that these people have no legal authority.

I just called John Boehner’s office and spewed off a lot of steam! I am absolutelu angry, and yes rightously so, at the fact that OUR REPRESENTATIVES who are supposed to be CONSERVATIVE, JUST DO NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!
No wonder we are in the mess we are in! ALL TALK , NO ACTION!
“I just called John Boehner’s office “
Duh, Boehner isn’t in the Senate.
Call your Senators, demand they refuse “unanimous consent” until this is settled.
Codray is going to issue an edict stating credit card companies can’t charge interest over some much lower percentage than they do now..say, 11%. Then when the credit card companies whine and start losing money....everyone who has their cards max’ed out will LOVE Obama.
He will be positioning the campaign as Him for working stiffs, and GOP for the rich elite corporations, and as evidence....the GOP will be fighting for high credit card interest rates.
Watch and see....

Thanks for clarification.
None of this surprises me.
