41. And why didn't she get to do that??
Because the WH refused to do what Barney Frank advised them to do, make her appointment a recess appointment. Having watched it all happen, he would be no friend to her if he did not agree that she does not need any more abuse especially when the WH made it clear that what Wall St. wanted is what they were going to get and the WH was not going to do anything to stop it.

Frank already said what needed to be done if she was to take the temporary appointment. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) recently called this “the worst abuse of the confirmation process I’ve ever seen.” He added, “What it clearly says is that the president will have to make a recess appointment.”

But that never happened.

Yes, she wanted to take the position temporarily, and they stopped her, with the help of this WH.
