A Far Reaching Rejection

During his first year in office President Barack Obama has made hundreds of appointments and they have flown basically unnoticed through the approval process…until now. For the first time the Senate rejected the nomination of Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. This is a big deal for several reasons. First, the Senate no longer holds the 60 member super majority needed to fly these things through without thought or reason. Secondly, it is going to require the president to use the “end run” of putting his nominees into office during Senate recess thus bypassing the legislative process entirely. Now, to be fair, all recent presidents have done this. However, this is particularly important as it is the first time that Obama has been rejected by the subservient legislative branch. Now that the Republicans can stop the hemorrhaging of leftist appointees the president has no choice but to resort to this rather devious method of “stacking the deck.” Now…why was Decker’s appointment rejected. I guess you could say it was political…he is a leftist, liberal labor attorney who is currently the assistant general counsell for the Service Employees International Union, the infamous SEIU who have been such ardent supporters of the Obama campaign as well as his heavy handed handling of the automotive takeover. It is this same union that is urging the president to override the vote of the Senate and appoint Mr. Decker while the Senate is away on recess. What is actually happening is that the roughshod methods of political intimidation that this group of Chicago ruffians has been implementing is coming under more and more public scrutiny and the people are rising up and saying that “enough is enough.” To paraphrase the wise Dr. Cliff Huxtable who once said to his son Theo…”I brought you into this world and I can take you out.” The people are rising up and sending a loud and resonate shout-out to the Obama administration and all of the far left puppets…”We put you into office and we can take you out!”
