The president has the power to make appointments without Senate approval, while they are on recess. Obama has done just that. He has appointed Donald Berwick to run Medicare and Medicade programs.
Obama also appointed Philip Coyle to the position of associate director for national security in the White House Office of Science and Technology. In addition, Joshua Gotbaum will be director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

I can understand that sometimes positions need to be filled but, Obama is complaining that Republicans are making things difficult for these positions to be filled. Well, that's their job, Obama. This is what BALANCE is all about. If it were a Republican making nominations, the Democrats would be objecting. Stop whining already! This is how the government works so, don't act surprised when people get upset because, they see you are acting like a big baby and, just going over the heads of people, all so you can get your way with every decision.
