Obama's recess appointment of health boss rankles the Right ...bu$h* made 171 recess appts.

President Obama's decision to use his recess appointment power to fill a powerful health care post circumvented a bitter political proxy war over health care reform.

But whether his move flouted a promise to reject business-as-usual Washington politics depends on who is judging.

"I would call his using a recess appointment in this case a matter of Obama trying to overcome politics as usual," said Clark Ervin, an Aspen Institute scholar and the recipient of a recess appointment to be inspector general of the

Department of Homeland Security from President George W. Bush.

Some Senate Republicans disagreed, however. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said Obama's move showed an "arrogance of power."
