‘The Man is a Dictator’: Hear Beck Blast Obama’s Move to Circumvent Congress | Video | TheBlaze.com: Glenn Beck on Thursday blasted President Barack Obama’s use of executive authority to make a recess appointment, calling him a dictator who views the American people as children.
On Wednesday, Obama announced he was appointing Richard Cordray the country’s chief consumer watchdog, making a recess appointment while the Senate was technically in session. The same day, he named three members to fill vacancies on the National Labor Relations Board. Explaining his decision before a crowd in Cleveland, Ohio, Obama said he has “an obligation to act on behalf of the American people” when Congress refuses and hurts the economy as a result.
Obama had been at odds with Senate Republicans over Cordray’s appointment as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, part of new bank regulations passed in 2010. Republicans had stalled Cordray’s nomination, arguing the new agency — tasked with overseeing mortgage companies, payday lenders, and other financial companies — is too powerful and unaccountable.
