Obama Is My President:
I may not agree with everything he's done - cough*NDAA*cough - but, I'm thrilled that President Obama just made four (count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4!) recess appointments.

I'm doing the Snoopy Dance about that last one.
GOP Senators have been relentlessly preventing anyone from being appointed to head the CFPB.

Because, even after our most recent Wall Street shyster-caused economic melt-down, Republicans in Congress still haven't wanted millions of Americans to be protected from evil, greedy, unethical, fast-talking loan and credit card companies...
But, My President Does!
