WASHINGTON (AP) - Fed up with waiting, President Barack Obama announced Saturday he would bypass a vacationing Senate and name 15 people to key administration jobs, wielding for the first time the blunt political tool known as the recess appointment.
Both Republican and Democratic presidents have made recess appointments, which circumvents the Senate's authority to confirm nominees, when they could not overcome delays. President George W. Bush made more than 170 such appointments in his two-term presidency. President Bill Clinton made nearly 140.
The 15 appointees to boards and agencies include the contentious choice of union lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.
This is pretty much S.O.P. and has been all along. the only thing in this round is the questionable appointment of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board.
This guy will add to the problems businesses are facing now and will face in the near future as the Phony Health reform mess adds to the cost of doing business and the needless Cap & Trade nonsense raises the cost of every commodity sold in this Country.
It points once again to Obama's lack of concern about what he's doing proves that if he's not as anti-American as he looks then he is a total amateur, and a radical without a clue.

My Way News - Obama announces 15 recess appointments, scolds GOP
Before anyone starts whining about what Obama did, consider this:
I have no problem with recess appointments. I just wonder, though, did you say the same thing when Bush did em? Based on thereaction from the left (and those in congress) I would assume probably not.
i challenge you to point out why craig becker does not deserve appointment to the NLRB
... your own perspective would be preferred, but if all you can muster are the republican talking points then post those
“Mr. Becker’s previous statements strongly indicate that he would take an aggressive personal agenda to the NLRB and that he would pursue a personal agenda there, rather than that of the administration," Nelson said in a statement Monday. “This is of great concern, considering that the board’s main responsibility is to resolve labor disputes with an even and impartial hand."
i have no talking points and i have no interest in your challenge
but senator ben nelson, democrat from nebraska, does
the 60th vote for health care, whose assent was purchased at the cost of the corrupt cornhusker kickback, said of the appointee:
Senate stops Craig Becker nomination - Meredith Shiner - POLITICO.com
now, i'm not sure if mr becker qualifies himself for the equally infamous SEIU EXEMPTION...
he was a highly energetic lawyer for this probably most influential and activist labor organization in the nation
but i suspect he's not an actual member, y'know
he'll probably have to pay the cadillac
like everyone else in his situation
nelson's not the only dem
putting mr becker at the nlrb is like appointing the uaw to settle disputes between labor and government motors
why, one could expect SPECIAL EXEMPTIONS for seiu's and seiu symps all over the place
a recess appointment is a sign of weakness, the prez can't get his guy thru upper house
hello
so, what you are saying is you have nothing
you are simply parroting the opinion of others, without any factual basis to justify such opposition to his appointment
no surprise
\i challenge you to point out why craig becker does not deserve appointment to the NLRB

how do you spell exemption?
s-e-i-u

Simply put he's pro-union and that makes him anti-business.
So you really cant answer a simple liberal question and just resort to this retort. Do you know every single union person yourself?

Simply put he's pro-union and that makes him anti-business. But then he fits in with anti-American Obama.
touche.That "amateur" handed your multi-decade career politician and his bubbleheaded bimbo running mate a very resounding thrashing.
And yet, you STILL haven't got a clue.
