President Obama Helps a Buddy Move In

From the president's remarks this morning to employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau upon the arrival of recently recess-appointed director Richard Cordray:

Well, it is wonderful to see all of you. I thought I would just drop by to help your new director move in. He's been a little busy. So I thought maybe some boxes, a little plant.

I also just wanted to say hello to all of you who have just been doing extraordinary work in standing up what I think is going to be one of the most important agencies for people that there is. And I know that all of you have devoted enormous amounts of time and energy, and many of you are here making significant sacrifices with your families to make sure that this agency gets up and running really well. And so I just wanted to say thank you to all of you.
