Despite the fact that REPUBLICAN Presidents exercised their CONSTITUTIONAL Recess Appointment Powers far more times than President Obama, Tea Partied Republican Congressional representatives are blistering over the President’s recess appointment of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency Director to oversee that consumers are no longer railroaded by predatory debt collectors, private student loan providers and payday loan providers.

Instead of caring about protecting consumers, Tea Partied Republican Congressional representatives are claiming that FAKE Congressional BLOCKAGE sessions where a handful of them go to their Congressional Chamber for 5 minutes to stare at the walls then leave means that they are not in recess.

It pains me to admit that I understand THEIR confusion over the matter since what they do in their FAKE Congressional sessions is exactly what they do in their REAL Congressional sessions – NOTHING!
