President Obama is in Ohio today speaking on behalf of his expected recess appointment of Richard Cordray to the CFPB, where he blames Congress for for refusing to act:
But when Congress refuses to act and as a result hurts our economy and puts people at risk, I have an obligation as President to do what I can without them. I have an obligation to act on behalf of the American people. I will not stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people they were elected to serve.
