Why do republicans enjoy being stoooopid? This appointee is a gift to the right. They could have had the "pleasure" of dissing Warren publicly. Not that they see how repugnant that would have made them.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the people who have been getting rich through theft and mendacity called to task for their behavior. Government is supposed to protect the public from thieves, and that is what this agency will do, nothing more. Look out money changers, someone is going to throw you out of the temple.
Thank you President Obama, we as consumers need protection...
You really think these crooks are going to help protect you? this goverment hasent changed its getting uglier and in a few months will all be sick of the fighting.
Yes Rexar

#Clause_2:_Calling_Congress_into_extraordinary_session.3B_adjourning_Congress
i think this is a good things. protects citizens. I am glad President Obama use his authority to over rule congress. This is one of the most terrible Congress in US history.
Tea Party got to go
Presidents dont have the authority to overide congress only veto bills, dictators do that up until now that is, This one is going to the courts forsure.
How many recess appointments did GW make?
113 +.
And the president DOES have the authority to adjourn congress or to call congress back. Mr. Independants, PLEASE learn what the constitution say AND means.
recess appointments,
for you:
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/01/04/397589/president-obama-has-made-far-fewer-recess-appointments-than-any-recent-president/
far fewer than any recent..
Too many laws, too many Democratic politicians, too many democrats and what to you get? A 'Stealth Socialist' undermining the Constitution (again!) and the rule of law!
The Constitution does not give Congress the power to created a 'Consumer Financial Protection Bureau'...period! And any true patriot would rejected any appointed to such a abatement to our republican form of government. Richard Cordray should be ashamed of himself for being a willing partner in undermining the Constitution.
ARTICLE 1 SECTION 8
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
You do know the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is actually a LAW right?
Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009. An act is a law that Congress has the power to create and enforce. Article 1 Section 8
Let me take the liberty to amend my list to include, "too many seditious progressive democrats"...
Nope, none of the enumerated powers listed in 'Section 8' gives Congress the power to created any type of 'Consumer Financial Protection Agency'. Only constitutional laws are to be made by Congress, and the 'Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009' is clearly unconstitutional. 'limited government with enumerated powers' means very little to the seditious progressive democrat that would twisted the words of the Constitution around to promote their political dogma.
You sir do not have a clue to what the Constitution means or you are so indoctrinated by progressive propaganda that lying about the constitution comes natural to you.
And Mr dug pops up here after being banned from Hannity and several other right wing blogs and recently from Ed's.
So Mr dug, you still have yet to answer what "socialist" bills have even been presented, let olone passed? OH, I forgot again, you don't answer questions just insult and disrupt. You have NO desire or intention of discussion or FACTS.
Wrong, I the only right wing blog that I have been banned from is Hannity's and Ed's Blog is for only the indoctrinated seditious progressive democrat.
My intentions is about confronting the seditious progressive democrat with FACTS and discussing those facts, but as you can see seditious progressives only see what they want to see and refuse to acknowledge the most simplest of facts if these facts goes against their political dogma.
I presented the facts about the Constitution and its limited government based on enumerated powers, it's very plain that creating new government bureaucracies that are not accountable to the people was not an intention of the Framers. That is a fact and no amount of SPIN from anyone here will change the fact the Constitution is grounded in limited government with enumerated powers and just because you want to promote socialism thru democracy does not mean you are entitled to your own facts.
True, most of the time I just lecture to seditious progressive democrats because they are not honest enough to have a discussion without twisting 'the facts' around to suite their political dogma.
Oh...by the way I answered the question about 'socialism' so many times, where were you?
Dug
You NEVER offered any FACTS on Ed's blog. You NEVER answered one question. NEVER did anything but insult, call names, as you're doing here, and try to disrupt any discussion taking place.
You have been ask many time to present ONE "socialist" proposal. You refuse to answer a simple question to which you continually preach. NAME one. You can't because NONE exist.
And if you can remember that far back, YOU bragged about being banned from numerous right wing blogs. YOU even named them.
But just continue with your hate and lies.
larry74,
You are too stupid to debate with, I answer the question about Obama's socialism many times and the insults always start with seditious progressive democrats like your self...not me.
True, I bragged about being banned from TPM (3 times), and the Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann (2 times), Alan Colmes and Sean Hannity Forums...but that was it..no more...you could not even remember what I said then...so there is no reason to believe you got your facts straight now!
Anyways....my post here about the unconstitutionality of 'Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009' stands...the fact is the Constitution does not give Congress the power to create such agencies....period. It is also a fact socialism is unconstitutional because it goes against the original intent of limited government with enumerated powers.
Democracy is EVIL, and Obama with his OWS minions prove it everyday with their attacks on personal property and liberty.
Restore the Republic and the Constitution to its rightful place in government!
Dug
How ya been? If you want to get through to Larry just tell him that he'll get something free from the taxpayers...he really goes for that stuff.
Tell me what I have ever ask for that I haven't paid for. Name ONE thing. You know me so well it should be easy for liars like yourselves.
Dug, you have answered NOT one question. You have done nothing but insult. I can even provide you with the archives number.
What can the GOP do anyways? What exactly are their options?
I don't think they can sue Obama personally. Their only real option is for a State to sue the Government for something related to recess appointments. That's the only way recess appointments will make it to the Supreme Court. I'm pretty sure Obama can't be sued personally over recess appointments. Who would sue him and for what reason?
OR...
They can try to impeach Obama. But here is the rub on that one. Only the Senate can vote for impeachment correct? Where will the GOP get 60 votes for cloture to even bring it up for debate?
I just think Obama has been running circles around the GOP for well over a year now.
appointments ARE CONSTITUTIONAL. I really wish people would read, study and understand the constitution before making comments they know nothing about.
The President is totally within his legal rights.
GWB made over 113 recess appointments.
I'm just trying to figure out what all the hand wringing is about? How can any President run a country if the other side just keeps derailing his appoints. The DC court of appeals has had 3 vacant spots for well over 3 years because the GOP refuses to even debate nominations.
I think the Supremes would side with Obama all day on this. How can anyone run a country if they can't appoint people to do the work.
PS...you do know States have Bureaus also right? Why is a State Bureau any less intrusive as a Federal Bureau?
Not directed at you Larry74. Directed at Dug but posted on wrong thread.
PS II, its not an agency. Its a Bureau like you correctly said in your first post. So why isn't the FBI or Census Bureau unconstitutional like you claim the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is?
Larry go back to WGE and hang out with the welfare skanks you love so much.
Jerry
what ever your talking about. I have never recieved anything from the Gon't I haven't earned. But you righties don't believe vetrans should get anything. How many battles you been in? How much blood have you given? How many friends have you seen die in battle? But guess what idiot, I don't believe this country OWES me anything. I will work for what I get. I always have. bujt keep up the insults. It shows what the right wingers are all about.
Dug,
Does that mean the Federal Bureau of Investigations is UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
Or these...
Census Bureau - CENSUS
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Bureua of Economic Analysis - BEA
Citizenship and Immigration Services (Bureau of) - BCIS
Engraving and Printing, Bureau of (BEP)
International Broadcasting Bureau - IBB
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Bureau of National Affairs -
Federal Bureau of Prisons - BOP
Bureau of Reclamation - BOR
Bureau of Transportation
Statistics - BTS
Why is the Consumer Protection Bureau unconstitutional but all the rest are constitutional?
Article two gives such powers to the president. He after all is Chief Executive.
That's good Larry. We both agree that this country owes you nothing. Believe me the baggers are going to see to that . Tell Pat and Eugenie, the welfare bimbos, that goes for them and their 14 kids too.
roscoejones
I guess that's all you can do, throw insults when you know NOTHING about someone. Still not anwering the question I see.
Pat has worked all her life as has her husband. Eugenie has worked all her live, now retired but her husband is still working. How does that make them "welfare" ladies. Call ANY woman a "bimbo" takes any respect some one might have for you away. That just puts you down in the gutter. But it sounds like that's where you belong.
You and little duggie still not answering any questions.
OH, I forgot, you need to have some facts first. Something the right wing don't care about.
Why not go go the blog Pat and Eugenie are on and call them names so they can rip you a new one? what's worse than calling a woman a name is doing it behind their back. Shows just what the right wing is about. I doubt you even respect yourselves.
Now how about some answer to the questions you've been ask?
The truth is that Dug is banned from The Ed show blog because liberals can't handle free speech. Larry will offer not one source ever. Watch. Anything he posts will be nothing but his opinion, which is not worth much.
Ever been over to the Ed blog. Go take a look, I think all of Eds five or six listeners are over there.
If you post something like "typical white person"... "that has had certain reactions bred into them" - Barack Obama
Then you will be banned instantly. Go give it a try and see how long liberals embrace free speech. Oh, but currently they are having postings on the GOP and race, so that is cool. And if you write republiKKKlans... well that is OK on the Ed blog too. No problem with that, just don't post anything that Obama has said.
@Larry
Dug has been banded because liberals hate free speech. The same reason I was banned. Go to the Ed show blog and write something like
"Typical white person".... "they have had certain reactions bred into them..."- Barack Obama
You will be removed., Notice no one from the other side of the argument blogs there. Why? They blog there, just big wife-beater Ed Schultz has his minions ban them.
Currently all six of Ed viewers are having a blog about race and the GOP. And writing things like republiKKKlans is Ok on the Ed blog but don't quote Obama on his racist statements or you will be banned. Why? Liberals/Socialist hate free speech!
Sorry for the over post. Accident.
It's the righties that hate free speech. I've posted worse than that and haven't been banned. It's the name calling, hate and lies that get him banned. You guys prove daily you don't want a discussion. I wish you were honest enough to at least tell the truth about why you go to the left wing blogs. You try saying to give a get information which is BS and everybody knows it. It's to spread your lies, hatred and disrupt any and everything. But you can't even be that honest.
Larry you know as well as I that Rex (Ed's dog) calls people piles of dog crap all the time. Just ask Dug. And yes that guy is still blogging all the time. So it is not the name calling that gets you banned it is the fact that you don't agree with the "wife beater" Ed Schultz.
If you are a liberal no problem. If you disagree, see you later.
One would think that if it was hate and lies that get you banned then Ed would be all into it just to show what a bunch of haters the right really is??
It is just another click, like the cool kids at the high school lunch table, if you don't fit in you are out. And so much for free speech.
I will be amazed if Ed's contract is renewed after the next election cycle. I mean really Al Sharpton took Ed's prime time spot?? The guy not only can't pay his taxes but he can't read a TelePrompter.
(w.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/rev_al_deep_in_the_red_FFFX2IRlXVlP0sh79dWyxL
You sure love calling names. Prove "wife beater" and I'll be the first to call him out on it. You also haven't folowed little duggie much. He does NOTHING but disrupt, call names, insult and the list goes on. Just like here. I ask 2 simple questions. Never an answer. Never have gotten and aswer out of him or any other rightie. Just insulting comebacks. But like I say, keep it up, it lts everybody know what the right is truely about.

Sorry to tell you Larry but Ed Schultz is a WIFE BEATER. Just ask Maureen!!!
/publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=203281
Obama is a constitutional lawyer. I think he knows way more than any GOP leader about the constitution.
Here is another point. Obama just wants the Congress to do their job. 60 to 90 seconds a week (pretending to be in session) is not doing their JOBS.
What they are doing is preventing a duly elected President from carrying out the constitutional requirements of his or her office.
Do you guys remember when Bush and Gonzalez hijacked the judicial branch? When they targeted Democrat appointed judges for DISMISSAL? That way they could fill the Judicial Branch with like minded judges.
Time to wake up folks!
What Obama is doing is exposing how corrupt and out of control our government has become. Yet, the Baggers don't care about that. Bush, Reagan, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Justices Thomas and Scalia, Santorum, Perry, Romny, Gingrich, Huntsman, Bachmann, Trump and etc have ALL been molesting the constitution and our way of life for the last 30 years.
That's one of the big reasons the congress has the lowest approval ratings in history. There was one poll where the repubs in congress got a 4% approval rating. This biggest do nothing congress in history still colecting their saleries and health care and pensions and all the other perk they bitch about the working peoiple getting, and doing NOTHING to earn it.
Why don't we hear the righties complaining about that kind of "welfare"?
It always crack me up when I hear the righties "bash" Obama for violating the constitution. He is a constitutional professor and has a staff of attoreys. But the know nothing righties think they know the constitution. Some oth the things they have said proves they know NOTHING about it.
I did study it in college.
Obama was a "lecturer", he was never a professor. The righties have had it with all types of welfare, especially bimbo welfare that goes to Grand Lake CO and South Korea.
College???? Sociologist College????????? 3.8 GPA???????????
lol
You do your parants real proud. But what else can we say or expect out of righties.
You should go to the blog she's on and tell her. It's so nice to know the righties dion't have to know anything about some one to call them names. You should also look up the Presidents work history. But then facts have never been a thing the repubs care for. Wouldn't know one if it bit you. How much wlefare do you get? duggie get his Gov't check every month. But then the right is ENTITTLED to the welfare right? All the way from corporations to you.
Once again no questions answer. Doesn't surprise me. Proves once again your side has no desire for discussion. You prove it with every keystroke. You and most righties are AAL about insults and name calling. But you have nothing else so we can't expect anything.
But I was wrong about this country owing me nothing. Social Security was take out of my check every pay day. Medicare was taken out of my check every pay day. So I guess that means they owe me my money.
When a CO bimbo has 6 kids she can't afford and another has 8 kids she can't afford that means one thing.............SLUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
The question was answered, as always....Obama was a lecturer not a professor.
SS and Medicare are broke, eventually benefits will have to be cut because there will be no money left. We knew that 30 years ago. I 'm ready for the cuts, are you???
And who said they couldn't afford them beside you. You are a disgrace to the human race. IF you would ever choose to LISTEN or READ anything, you would know BOTH have paid, full tuition, to put ALL their kids through college. But you're too much of an insult to men to ever accept a fact. You must be somebodys pimp. You deffinately an insult to humanity. Don't bother responding. Your last post said you aren't worth the time of day. You are a LOOSER. How much is your welfare check? How much in food stamps. That is your mentality level.
Do some research. Neither are broke and you right wing idiots know it. You want to get rid of both so lie about it. try to scare people. Not everybody is as gullible as you clowns.
The skanks kids were educated with tax payer dollars. They're both flat broke and always have been. It's too bad that they're going to spend the rest of their irresponsible lives in some FEMA camp.
SS and Medicare are broke. Why do you think we're 15 trillion in the hole? Every SS payment is made with borrowed money. You don't really believe that "lockbox" crud....do you? The Baggers will be fixing that too.
Because gwb started 2 unfunded conflicts, 2 tax cuts, part d Rx unfunded. I think I'll take a senators word over a lying disrespectful right wing radical nut job like you.
If you payed any attention at all to anything but fox, you would know that Social Security and Medicare have NOTHING to do with the debt/deficit.
You say we've known they were broke for 30 years. How many people have paid into them every month for the last 30 year?. How many people have gotten their check every month for the last 30 years? Why did they all recieve an increase in bebifits this year if they are so broke?
Hey dope....The national debt is $15,250,980,865,086.32.
90% of that is because of SS and Medicare. These 2 dumb programs were designed when life expectancy was about 67 years. Now people live until the deep 80s. Benefits will be slashed because Obama will never get the rich to pay like he promised all you fish.
IF you beleive that you are the idiot.
You clowns continue to ignore how much the intrest adds to that debt EVERY MINUTE.
We know all about the interest. That's why programs for skanks with 6 or 8 kids WILL be cut.
Why do you hate women so much? And don't try saying you don't. Only a woman hater would call women the names you do.
You also forgot to mention how much part d cost! You also forgot to mention how much the tax cuts cost! You also forgot to mention how much bush crashing the economy and putting millions out of work cost! But none of that surprises me knowing the lying woman hater you are.
And you also have NEVER stated who said they had 6 or 8 kids. It wasn't Eugenie or Pat. So there's another one of your lies. But you aren't man enough to go to the blog they use and confront them. Women haters usually do hide.
There's a difference between women and welfare bimbos. Women take responsibility for themselves. Welfare bimbos spend their lives with their ankles behind their ears breeding at the taxpayers expense. Then when they reach their 60s they want to "tax the rich" because they can't get money the way they used to. Pat has 6 the other one has 8. You wouldn't know that because you're not the one paying for them.
You've yet to say how you know all these "welfare bimbo's". If you say Pat or Euginie you are abigger liar than anybody else. You KNOW they have given their work history and both were employed their entire working lives. To deny that makes you less than a man. Which your women hating name calling places you less than human. YOU ARE A LYING WOMAN HATER. LESS THAN HUMAN
Employed??????? One of them bitched about a part time job at Kohl's......
K-12 education for kids costs 10,000 a year.... they have 14 between them.....Who paid the $1,810,000.00 to educate them....the two skanks??????????? ..Nope...It was the taxpayers.
You are a lying idiot woman hater. They NEVER said any of that. Neither said they has 6 or 8 kids. I could give you the archives number to prove it but you still wouldn't beleive them. You just want to hate them. Proves the radical right are worthless peices of crap.
6 and 8, those are the numbers..........................Ask them or are you still afraid of them, after all they're the queens of the blog. All they ever hear out of you is Yes ma'am, No ma'am!!! lol
archives number???????????? what a laugh. Go back to the toy store.
And you're full of crap
I see there's 2 more whiney little girls on the blog, Stephy and the duck. How many little babies are they breeding?
