Nancy Pelosi | Recess Appointments | President Obama | The Daily Caller: Brushing aside criticism of President Obama’s recess appointments made while Congress was in session, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told The Daily Caller that his decision was “bold” and said Democrats are “glad” the president “took the lead” on the appointments.

“Let that be the public debate with the Senate but fortunately, or unfortunately for us we do not have a role in the confirmation process but we’re glad that the president took the lead, went out there, it was bold and made the appointments,” Pelosi said on Thursday when asked by TheDC about criticism of the president’s actions.

House Speaker John Boehner called the President’s recess appointment of Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau an “unprecedented power grab,” noting that Congress was still in session.
