On Wednesday, a Senate committee moved forward on legislation that would eliminate the confirmation process of nearly 200 Obama Administration appointees.
200 appointees.
The bill, known as the 2011 Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act, which included participation from both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate, would no longer require confirmation hearings. The act has been brought up because the Senate is apparently getting tired of having to sit through confirmation hearings and they believe this will speed up the process.
I have an idea. Maybe we should just do away with Congress completely. After all, Congress has seemingly become irrelevant every day, and they don't represent the interests of the American people anyway. Why not? Just have them transfer the legislative powers completely over to the President so we can have a full blown dictatorship in this country!
They just passed a budget that is only going to cut $350 million in spending this year, not $38 billion that was perpetrated. And now they're all off for Spring Break, but not before they decide on this bill to eliminate confirmation of more than 200 appointees.
I don't know about the rest of America, but Senate confirmations are especially important because it allows both parties to essentially interview and then approve of these people's confidence, integrity and commitment to the job. No question that some presidential appointees approved by the Senate have turned out to be a complete disgrace, but the process still allows the American people to see the kind of administration officials that will eventually be earning a salary from the people's tax money.
Furthermore, I don't want this administration to have the power to select anyone he chooses to help run certain functions of the federal government, whether its assistant positions in the U.S. military or individuals working for the Department of Defense. Looking at the people who worked for the Obama Administration in the past two years, one can say they all come from rather shady backgrounds. Remember Van Jones, the former green jobs czar, who is an openly admitted Communist? Or Anita Dunn, Obama's former presidential adviser who cared deeply for Chairman Mao? What about his current adviser Samantha Power who is married to Cass Sunstein, a man who practices Marxism on a daily basis? Is the Senate really serious about eliminating appointee confirmations at this time, even if the backgrounds of these people are rather anti-American?
House Speaker John Boehner has no idea what kind of man he is dealing with in the White House. I know most of these morons in Congress think this is just the same political game we've been playing in this country for centuries now and its all about Republican vs. Democratics or vice versa.
Mr. Speaker, this President is no Jimmy Carter, nor is he Bill Clinton. This is a self-described socialist, Marxist who's ultimate goal is to destroy this country. If you can't see the writing on the wall, you're doomed as well. Like I said, Congress is becoming irrelevant, it doesn't matter which party is in power.
We are dealing with a madman. The political game has been over for a while.
