Obama, directly appointing six officials this week without the consent of Congress, including his pick for deputy attorney general, who once compared the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks to the drug trade.
Barack is no constitutional expert. He once gave a lecture as a visting speaker about the constitution. What he has said about it disqualifies him from the conversation.
Bush made quite a few recess appointments during his 8 years in office.
Was that authority suddenly rescinded when a Democrat became President?
I'm sure SOME of the posters here on CD think so?

In terms of how the "war on terrorism" should have been fought, he's right. It's a lot more like figthing organized crime than a conventional ground war.
We've wasted a lot of time and money and lives fighting it the wrong way.

Good grief! You cannot be serious!
We are at "WAR" with religious fanatics that have no country nor uniform by which to be identified with a country. When captured they must be held until the war is over! There is absolutely NO PLACE in any of our civilian "criminal justice" system for these horrifying idiots, not even to mention the fact that our Constitution "should only" apply to our American citizens and those who are here "LEGALLY!" It doesn't cover the rest of the world and certainly never war criminals. Any citizens or legal immigrants that commit a war crime should be treated as "traitors," not civilian criminals to be handled by our civilian justice system.
I am appalled at how twisted some of our Americans have become.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Consider decaf.
You prove me right in the first sentence of your rant above, you know.
I never said anything one way or the other regarding your second sentence.
I never said anything about your third sentence either. I am talking about overall strategy, not what we may or may not do with them when they are caught.
I am appalled at how simply and inaccurately you see the world.
So, President Obama *is* within his powers and authority and *is not* the first President to take advantage of Congressional recess to appoint folks. Is that correct? If so, this quickly becomes a non-issue, doesn't it?
Or is this thread about who he appointed and not the manner in which those appointments were made?
