I'm less upset at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell publicly announcing that the Senate Republicans will be contributing an Amicus Brief to the case against President Obama's recess appointments than I am that Candy Crowley never bothered to mention that during the previous administration, Bush made 171 recess appointments--including Ambassador to the UN John Bolton--and Mitch McConnell never said boo to any of them.
McConnell Says Republicans Will Also Protest Obama Recess Appointments ~~~ What About Bush - Bolton, Mitch?

MCCONNELL: Well, we all know the president wants to pick a fight with congress. Liberal presidents have always found the congress inconvenient. Woodrow Wilson thought the framers of the constitution got it all wrong and didn't make the presidency strong enough. Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court. This president even more brazenly just ignores the constitution altogether.
In my book Mitch, George W Bush did all of the above with the unilateral Iraq war. Just sayin'.

He is not gong to give the GOPTeaBags the opportunity to get him over a barrel. I feel most positive that he had his legal and constitutional experts make sure that his recess appointments were all totally legal before he made them
The GOPTeaBags are just mad because he exercised his legal powers and there is nothing they can do but shoot off their ignorant mouths to protest. So, let them protest and then STFU and get back to work.

jade,
I'm not sure why you're disappointed with Crowley. After all, she is a GOP sympathizer, if not republican outright. I've watched her (before I stopped watching Fox-lite, or CNN completely) softball republican guests, and practically interrogate Democrats. She also uses many of the same interrupt-often-to-deny-them-ablility-to-make-a-point tactics Fox uses.
It's all a ploy to shave some of Fox's viewers to CNN, but Crowley had been doing that kind of thing long before that happened.
Well, yeah, but that was then......we have to get on with life and not live in the past.....isn't that what the OB/GOP keeps saying?

If I may, I will politely disagree.
The republicans have successfully launched wars based on lies and fraud. They have successfully created (and legitimized) $100 Oil. They have successfully demonized a teacher making $50k a year and at the same time convinced most Americans that the salaries of $100 million to $1 billion annually are the bulwark of America's economy.
Most importantly however, is the fact that the republicans have successfully initiated The Patriot Act for their defense and to assure their benefactors that the status quo will be maintained through law. They have also successfully initiated Citizens United to assure that wealth trumps the desires of the people.

@Jade: Your analogy is true. (hopefully)
But, why is the GOPER card trick still holding?
#4 - Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:15 PM ESTOnly for the suckers. "A shining city on a hill ..." is a Ronnie ripoff of JFK's speechwriters. Somehow I don't think Newt could ever say, "It's morning in America." Romney might but it would be like opening your eyes with a hangover.
Naw. It would be more like opening your eyes with an angry Badger.
