“Why not make her director, Mr. President? Why not submit her to confirmation?,” CBS’ Mark Knoller asks President Obama after he announced she would oversee a new consumer protection agency.
This video shows the members of the White House Press Corps asking President Obama if he has “bypassed Constitutional Authority” as he walked away after announcing Elizabeth Warren as an “Interim” appointment lead the newly created “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.” Obama is bypassing the need for Senate confirmation by making her an “interim” appointment rather than a director. Many doubt even enough Democrats would support her confirmation. So, Obama is, indeed, bypassing Constitutional Authority to get what he wants.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
He really has DICTATOR down pat.
Obama avoids press conferences, obama avoids honest dialogues where he would have to answer to questions about his moves & motives. He really believes he is above the rest of us… doesn’t have to explain himself to anyone.
You know Mark Knoller won’t be working for CBS much longer as he’ll be fired. ABC recently fired Doug McKelway for reporting how Obama has received more campaign contributions from BP than any other candidate.
This guy is so power crazed it’s not funny. He knows how to play the game for sure.
King obama. He doesn’t have to answer to anyone. Unless he has a good lie ready.
Its hard to believe the msm is in the tank for obama. When this all starts going south maybe, they will come back but I doubt it. The Congress is another matter. Supposedly in the Constitution they share power. obama has neutered congress and congress by giving him everything he wants has accepted the number 2 role. If they don’t wake up they will be merely a politburo instead of a congress.
Bob, wow, thanks for the information, I didn’t know ABC had done that.
Pete, he sure does.
Tom I agree, he really shows how he has no respect for anyone or anything.
Mark, that is so true and a really good way to put it too.
“obama has neutered congress”
