| President Obama taps Harvard professor to oversee Medicare and Medicaid |
| 2010-07-07 |
 President Obama will use the congressional recess to bypass the Senate and appoint Harvard professor Donald Berwick, a controversial patient-care expert who has drawn GOP fire, to oversee Medicare and Medicaid, the White House announced yesterday.I thought this kind of move was considered unfair by dems just a few short years ago. The decision means Berwick, 63, can become administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services without Senate confirmation. |

| #13 If I get outta Harvard and all I can get is a teaching job, I'm gonna be very pissed off. The reason you go there is for the chance to tap into their alumni mafia for a serious bucks job when you get out. |

| #6 Fix as in Spay or Neuter, I guess. Ain't it funny how the Dems can have a near-supermajority in the Senate and still need to rely on recess appointments? |
