In the interest of fairness to the President.....

President Obama is not ruling out a recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), White House officials said Tuesday.

Officials said the president is leaving all options on the table when it comes to recess appointments, and that includes Cordray's bid to head the CFPB.

While a senior White House official said Obama would not be making any recess appointments Tuesday, the official would not say whether the president would make them in the coming days.

ThinkProgress, a liberal advocacy group, reported earlier Tuesday that the White House was planning a recess appointment either Tuesday or Wednesday, citing an unnamed source.
