20th September 2010
Obama persists in acting as if he were president of a University rather than President of the United States.
Specifically, he has bypassed the Senate confirmation procedure by (1) installing Don Berwick, via recess appointment, as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and (2) making Elizabeth Warren a “special adviser” so she can create and oversee the new consumer financial protection bureau.

Where’s the screaming that accompanied every Bush recess appointment? Oh, wait, the Obamessiah gets no negative press. It’s not allowed. Anyone caught implying anything negative will be promptly banned from the clubhouse.
