Youre still not making any sense.
Congress passed a law which created a new regulatory body. The President appoints a leader of the new department and Congress gets to approve or disapprove. These actions are required by law.
Some members of congress have decided they dont like the law. Instead of using their ability to change said law, they are instead trying to get around it. Obama has decided he has the authority to fulfill the original intent of the law if Congress refuses to follow it. I would like to see his legal reasoning...and this very well might end up in court.
What exactly is it that Obama isnt taking responsibility for? (Edit) Is he supposed to blame himself for the GOP refusing to allow a vote on this appointment?
Your comment seems totally out of place here. What is the responsibility he is trying to pass off on others? If anything he is taking direct action to take responsibility for this situation. I think your need to stand on the fence has led you astray here.

Recess appointments aren't anything new.
Just because congress claims they never go into recess anymore doesn't mean they aren't full of shit in claiming such a stupid thing.
This is exactly the legal argument the WH is using, that congress is effectively in recess.

Good for Obama.
If you can't see how the republicans provoked this action, you are blind.

Well the wonderful thing is that it doesn't matter if it makes sense to you.

The 11th circuit appeals court already ruled (back in 2007)that there is no constitutional minimum time for congress to be out of session for a president to use his constitutional power to recess appoint individuals. They ruled that the President could legally, constitutionally, issue a recess appointment 1 second after they closed the house floor for the night.
Done deal.
This Senate minority has blocked more appointments to federal positions than any other Senate in history. Even though they are the minority, the stupid rules of the god damn pathetic Senate give the minority party the power to block any god damn thing they want.....and this Senate minority has blocked just about everything. Hell, Mitch McConnel blocked EVERY candidate to EVERY federal position just last month and said he would keep blocking them until Obama promised to gut the CFPB and give all the power back to the banks that congress took from them after the latest round of criminal actions those banks took. What little tiny bit of power that was....and they blocked every candidate for every job. Suck it dick bags. Over reach much? 5% approval rating. Shut the hell up and let the country get on with stuff, you aren't doing shit.

The Dems, including Reid and Obama, screamed bloody murder 4 years ago when Bush tried to do similar things.
