what does obama have to do w/ this?
- gee_totes 14y agoI think he's there because this is a Fox News link.
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoThe CEO put out full page ad calling for Obama to do something. That has nothing to do with Fox News. The ABC News article also referenced that fact. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/buckyballs-maker-appeals-to-obama-for-help/ http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/buckyballs-make... http://www.getbuckyballs.com/blog/2012/08/open-letter-to-president-obama/ http://www.getbuckyballs.com/blog/2012/08/open-letter-to-pre... [Edited to remove the snark and just stick to the facts. Sorry for angering the HN gods.]
- elarkin 14y agoNot a lot, though as the head of the executive branch he could likely intervene to prevent the ban.
- DerekL 14y agoNo, he can't. The CPSC is an independent agency, run by five commissioners. The president nominates the commissioners, but he can't give them orders or fire them without cause.
- kevinpet 14y agoThe CPSC is part of the executive branch. The president is in charge of the executive branch, and the only elected member of the executive branch. Who else should he be petitioning?
