Recess Appointment

[Tom Wright]

A few weeks ago, I blogged,about a Mr. Berwick, he is the nominee of Barak Obama to head the Medicare and Medicaid Administration.

Hre was the one that thought the "Brish Health Care System was great.

My thought is that he will try to emulate that program with the new National Health Care plan.

Well yesterday, President Obama made his nomination effective without a vote by congress.

This is a little trick called Absentee Recess Appointment, made by the President without congressional approval.

This is an outrage, that no up or down vote was held before his official appointment.

I will be calling my Representatives to get thier feedback on these back door appointments.

I urge you also to contact you Representatives on this matter.
