Obama’s Recess Appointments, OWS, Jeff Smith

January 5, 2012

Use this post as today’s thread.   Today Sam talks about Obama’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board & the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and why Obama is motivated to make them.  We have updates on occupy movements across the country, the actions taking place and the goals that are being set.  Jeff Smith (@dontbeaputz) reports on Tuesday’s march on Grand Central in protest of the NDAA where marchers were intimidated and arrested.   Also,  mandatory drug testing, a 14 year old American girl gets deported (oops!) and the C Team of the Clown Car takes center stage.  Santorum, what does it really mean?
