If Obama believes that the Congress is in Recess, then those other recess appointments should now be over.

WTF is WRONG with you, Nevada???

What I’d like to see is the Rs put some backbone into enforcing the law and the Constitution instead of letting the Dems bully them and the country.

That might happen when h*ll freezes over.

Honestly, his statement surprises me more than the appointment itself. We know Obama is a dictatorial Marixist. I didn’t know that Brown was A-OK with that.

Bottom line: Talk about a political and economic game changer in this presidential election year. Obama could offer a trillion-dollar stimulus — as measured over a decade –that would directly and immediately impact tens of millions of Americans suffering from the housing depression. Cash in their pockets. Imagine the electoral impact on key states, such as Florida, suffering from both high unemployment and devastated housing markets.

And the beauty part for Obama? He wouldn’t need approval from Congress to do it. Even though many Republicans would scream that the plan would reward irresponsible homeowners who took on too much leverage — indeed, talk of a housing bailout is what launched the Tea Party movement – they probably couldn’t stop it. And Hubbard already has an answer to the moral hazard issue: “This proposal requires borrowers to give up a share of future appreciation in order to participate. Lenders must eat a portion of the losses as well. Everyone gives a little bit.”

The 2012 battle for the White House is looking razor close. A mass refinancing plan might be enough to tip it to Obama.

The only “surprise” here, supposedly, is that he’d stoop to something this cynical and constitutionally dubious to try to demagogue the other party to his own electoral advantage. Anyone surprised?

The Indonesian culture Obama was raised in has no loyalty to U.S. law and customs. As usual this surprises only self proclaimed “intellectual” liberals.

I still believe in a rational moderate Republicanism, and I remain deeply committed to it. I admit that Scott Brown’s blindness about how much the socialist idiocy of the CFPB will hurt the economy is deeply embarrassing to my viewpoint. Yet, Scott Brown is just one politician who apparently knows nothing of economics. He is not a refutation of being moderate.

“I support President Obama’s decision,” he said in a statement…
I’m surprised he could make a statement while under Obama’s desk…

I was going to add to that…but I don’t want the banhammer!
