I hope he announces they're going to change the law so he can appoint someone soon!

I haven't heard anything about this on cable news today. I found this article on the freeper site of all places! I was skimming the site to see their latest fears and complaints about Obama and his admin.

Edited to reflect the fact that he can't announce he's going to appoint anyone since he CAN'T yet.
