Bush Defies Democrats With 3 Appointments

That's right folks, this chickenshit just appointed three 'controversial' Officials while Congress is on vacation thereby bypassing congressional approval....CHICKENSHIT.

~snip~ WASHINGTON, April 4 — President Bush used Congress’s Easter break today to defy Democratic lawmakers and appoint three officials who have already drawn heavy criticism on Capitol Hill.

The president used recess appointments to install Sam Fox, a major Republican donor from Missouri, to be ambassador to Belgium; Andrew G. Biggs of New York to be deputy commissioner of Social Security, and Susan E. Dudley of Virginia to be administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the office of Management and Budget.

Naming the three while Congress is in recess allows Mr. Bush to avoid the Senate confirmation process. The recess appointments allow the three to remain in their posts until the end of 2008, virtually the end of Mr. Bush’s second term.

1. well, he did the same with the UN/Bolton

Why don't the Republicans live up to their duty to the American people and ask him to resign. At the same time he's doing this, he's afraid to throw out the first pitch at
a ball park, he knows he is hated, he knows that he's a lame duck, he knows that he
doesn't have the support of Congress or the American people, and he just keeps on doing his
thing.

2. If congress would impeach the widdle spoiled brat

We could clean house in Washington. Wouldn't that be nice. I would love to see bush, cheney and rove marched out of the whitehouse in cuffs. That now, is the real American dream. Right.

3. Nice move George - Just piss off Congress even more...bet impeachment will become a lot easier the

more you do things like this!!!!

What a effing a-hole the pissy little king is....He probably thought he was getting back at them for not rubber stamping his plans for Iraq and "he'd show them". Problem is, its only going to further the resolve of Congress to put an end to the little dictator who doesn't seem to understand that he doesn't rule this country exclusively.

I say this one ends up back firing big time....

4. I wonder if this will cost him any Republican support in Congress.

5. Here are some notes on Ms Dudley-Do-Wrong

Nominations to White House Regulatory Office

On July 31, 2006, President Bush nominated Dudley to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). <2> Part of the Office of Management and Budget, the OIRA "reviews major agency regulations with an eye toward reducing compliance costs, and according to critics, easing burdens on companies," according to the Wall Street Journal. According to the Journal: <3>

Under Ms. Dudley, Mercatus has been a very active player at OIRA proceedings. Ultimately, 14 of the 23 rules the White House chose for its 2001 "hit list" were Mercatus entries. Ms. Dudley, who had an earlier turn as a staff economist at OIRA and the Environmental Protection Agency, calls herself a "free-market environmentalist," who wants to protect the environment through "market-based incentives."

In April 2007, the Los Angeles Times reported that President Bush "has renominated three people for top jobs affecting the environment who were previously blocked in Congress because of their pro-industry views." Dudley, one of the three, was renominated to head OIRA. "According to industry lobbyists and Republican aides in Congress, Bush intends to skirt the Senate approval process if necessary by making recess appointments to put the three nominees in the posts," reported the Times. <4>

Dudley Argues For Less Information Release on Toxics

In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks Dudley complained that the Environmental Protection Agency had overstated the benefits of the Toxic Release Inventory. She went on to claim that there were national security risks to the disclosure of the information. "Perhaps more importantly, in light of recent events, EPA has not addressed the risks that making chemical risk information broadly available to potential terrorists can pose," she wrote.

"Ms. Dudley..... calls herself a "free-market environmentalist," who wants to protect the environment through "market-based incentives."

YEAH, thats working so well.
Wal-Mart is going to stop buying their cheap plastic crap from China because of China's poor environmental record.

Reminds me if Bush*s voluntary emissions standards in Texas.
