Interesting. As excoriated here, Obama recess-appointed Socialist Donald Berwick to a key Obamacare post. I thought it was to avoid the messiness of hearings and votes – inconvenient democracy, you know.
But now Obama is sending the nomination to the Senate as well. Perhaps he saw that the next more Republican Senate might kill the appointment. But whatever the reasons, this shift may make for *interesting* hearings in an election season.

I'm wondering about the rationale for this move. Say what you will about Bush, he didn't change course much. This is a level of backpedaling that's curious in the extreme.
