Obama Installs Consumer Chief, Officially Makes Citizens 'Consumers'
www.wonkette.com
Citing a pressing need to legally redefine Americans as "consumers" before they get any other big ideas, President Obama today appointed his choice to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The appointment bypassed the Senate, because the Republican minority there won't allow anything but tax cuts for the rich and new War Contracts. The Senate has not officially adjourned since last year, because the GOP won't allow that, either. So the procedural fake outrage today is about the president's authority to make recess appointments, even though Obama is appointing someone with "bipartisan support" who has been waiting for a year to go to work. What that work will entail, however, is the formal conversion of U.S. citizens to "consumers." Considering how quickly the rights of human citizens are being signed away by this president, perhaps it is a good thing that the American people are getting a new designation!
