Obama Warns GOP He Will Use Recess Appointments

[$tevie]

This is what I am wanting to see. Full steam ahead and let the GOP stew in their obstructionist juices. Yeah, I complained about President Bush's 171 recess appointments. But at this point I'm resigned to the fact that the Democrats will have to start playing this game GOP-style for real or nothing is going to get done.

"In our meeting I asked the congressional leadership to put a stop to these holds in which nominees for a critical job are denied a vote for months," he said.

"If the Senate does not act, and I made this very clear," Obama continued, "I will consider making several recess appointments during the upcoming recess because we can't afford to let politics stand in the way of a well functioning government."
