Balance of Powers....Really

Regardless of party, our Congress should be outraged that the President has now made 16 recess appointments. Siting obstructionism on the part of the Rebublican party, Obama had already done 15 unilateral appointments before June of this year. However, that just wasn't enough, he decided that he needed a Medicare chief during the most recent recess. What will it take for our representatives to step up and call him out on this? Now the person responsible for managing one of the most expensive social programs in existence today was hired without the protection of our bicameral legislature. If the President wants to do this, then maybe he should go public and let us look over the resume and decide whether or not this guy is qualified. Obviously, he feels Congress can't do it, even though we elected them thinking they were qualified. Are we still a Democratic Republic? What about the checks and balances our forefathers put into the system to protect us from the tyranny of dictatorship that we suffered under as colonies? If your representatives in Congress are not outraged and publicly angered by this behavior, you need to elect new ones. When did we quit believing in the principles for which our country was founded? If you want socialized medicine or other socialized stuff get a NAFTA visa and go to Canda. If you prefer obvious corruption, that isn't shielded in politic games, get a NAFTA visa and go to Mexico. I knew there was a reason we needed NAFTA. The rest of you can go to Venezuela, because he doesn't like the U.S.A. either. The rest of us owe it to OUR posterity to get this crap fixed before they live in an oppressive dictatorship.
