Unaccountable

President Obama’s decision to appoint  Richard Cordray to the head of the so-called “Consumer Financial Protection Bureau” without seeking Congressional approval is beyond the pale.  The decision to bypass Congress, simply to accumulate greater power within the White House, is frightening and unprecedented.  The President’s abuse of power has reached new heights with his actions, and it underscores his belief that he is above the laws of the land and accountable to no person, institution or, for that matter, the Constitution.  This raw play for power,  does not advance the case for job creation in America, or standing up for the rights of the hard working middle class of America.  It is, however, further evidence that this President seeks power for his own purposes, not to serve and improve the lives of the people of the United States of America.
