I wonder how many RECESS appointments Bush made while the Senate was NOT in recess but was still in session?

Bush had 8 years and Obama is only going to have for, how can he make recess appointments while congress is still in session. Harry Reid did the same thing to Bush. What he did is lawless and is a campaign ploy to say he is working against a do nothing congress, therefore he throws the Senate under the bus. If we do not need congress let's stop paying them and they can go home. If this was Boosh you libbies would be screaching, but since it is your man, well hypocrisy in action.

President Bush's 171 Recess Appointments averages to 64 in 3 years. Still more than double that of President Obama.

PS: Barack Obama will be your President until January 20, 2017. You should probably get used to it.

You are dreaming brother, he is not my president now nor in the present. Obama is one and one in 2012.

The Senate went on recess on December 31 and will convene again on January 23. Corday was appointed yesterday.

I understand your point, but it didn't work either when the Democrats did it. Bush appointed a lot of people during those periods.

Well I called Mitch McConnell's office and the recording said they are out of session. And I know old beaver face is in KY right now. So as usual they lie. Go President Obama.

The House has the authority to say when the office is closed, the senate was in pro term. Harry Reid did the same thing maybe you should google it before you spout your drivel.
