Housing Finance Boss Blocked Principal Reductions, Hid Data Showing They Work, Dems Allege [UPDATE]

Obama has had the ability to recess appoint Joseph Smith, just like he had the ability to recess appoint all the rest of the nominees (from judicial nominations to the OLC) that Republicans have blocked since the beginning of his administration.  

But Obama refuses.

Despite Republicans' blocking, Obama could have gotten Smith through, along with the others in 2009, but didn't.  As was the case with Dawn Johnsen when Obama kept nominations of liberal/progressive candidates in limbo for more than a year after entering the White House, it served to keep these powerful proponents of leftist policy on the bench, not criticizing Obama's treacherous and deceptive alliance with banks, Wall Street, corporations, military, anti-privacy, etc., interests.
