Obama's Recess Appointment of Medicare Boss Draws Republican Fire

Obama pledged to be a transparent adminastration,that his would not rely on backroom deals ro the status quo. He chastiesed Bush for recessed appoimtments,he talked about up or down votes let the amerivan people see what were getting.Wow what a difference being the Pres. makes,Well bush did it ,all Pres. before me did it im just following the ststus quo.Bush spent to much.Its all bushes fault.WA WA WA what a hypocrit. Stop your crying and man up to the fact that your in well over your head on how to help this great country of ours and stop following your rules for radicals outline on how to bring America to its knees.Resign now and let someone cappable run the government.

I am keeping a copy of all of these comments...and as this hell of a bill that was jammed down our throats come to light and everyone who is happy that obama hired this guy to run the government health business ... the minute they don't receive care or one of their loved owns does not receive care via Berwick...don't you dare start to complain!!!!!! We have been telling everyone for months....beware! obamacare is going to come to haunt every single American!!!!

batgmp:

I would also like to state that the AARP did not agree with the Obama Healhcare plan. It was only the man in charge, or president or whatever, took it upon himself, probably told to by BHO to do it. No members had a say in it.

Steven: You said in your comment that in Canada you can pay for your care out of your own pocker. That is not true in the USA. Many times it has been asked to stay in the hospital a day or two longer, and that you would pay for it yourself. The definite answer was "NO". The people that are so glad to say they approve of the Obamacare, DO NOT know the entire process we will be made to accept. Way past time that all of you LEARN the entire plan, then come back and say you are still in favor of it. OR you cam wait until it affects you then SCREAM to the care giver!!

voting no against the facts?????? lol

Clinton made 139 recess appointments, 95 to full-time positions. President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments, of which 99 were to full-time positions.2 On March 27, 2010, President Barack Obama announced his intention to make 15 recess appointments, all to full-time positions.

Dr. Berwick is an OUTSTANDING choice.

There has been no director of medicare since 2006. If congress has to be bypassed to get appointments moving more power to him. For years the Fair Labor Relations board didn't even have three members to make a quarum, another attempt by republicans to neuter a federal agency till Obama appointed one during the last recess. These politicians aren't gods, poop or get off the pot. They bitch that medicare isn't working and then refuse to appoint somebody to run it, what a bunch of idiots, they think we're stupid and can't see the attempts to make govt. fail.

How sad that our constitution is being completely circumvented, causing major adversity and bipartisanship. We were set up for checks and balances between the three branches of government for exactly this reason. Either party in the majority should not be able to make the minority meaningless. Our Senators and Congressmen have no power or authority. Czars, backroom deals, intimidation and special interests are ruling our nation. Corruption and greed are pervasive. It has to stop now on both sides.

I don't remember a recess during the Bush Administration, that he did not make an appointment. I also remember his supporters informing the "stupid, whinning, Liberals," that the president has the constitutional right to do so. Does Obama not have the same constitutional right?

This guy is bad news for America!
