Default American Czars

To date, Barack Obama has appointed at least 28 czars, people whose sole function is to integrate industry and government through regulation. The following list of czars was compiled by PolitiFact.com:

1. Herb Allison-TARP Czar

2. Alan Bersin-Border Czar

3. Dennis Blair-Intelligence Czar

4. John Brennan-Terrorism Czar

5. Carol Browner-Energy Czar

6. Adolfo Carrion, Jr-Urban Affairs Czar

7. Ashton Carter-Weapons Czar

8. Aneesh Chopra-Technology Czar

9. Jeffrey Crowley-AIDS Czar

10. Cameron Davis-Great Lakes Czar

11. Nancy-Ann DeParle-Health Czar

12. Earl Devaney-Stimulus Accountability Czar

13. Joshua DuBois-Faith-based Czar

14. Kenneth Feinberg-Pay Czar

15. Danny Fried-Guantanamo Closure Czar

16. J. Scott Gration-Sudan Czar

17. Richard Holbrooke-Afghanistan Czar

18. John Holdren-Science Czar

19. Van Jones Green-Jobs Czar

20. Gil Kerlikowske-Drug Czar

21. Vivek Kundra-Information Czar

22. George Mitchell-Mideast Peace Czar

23. Ed Montgomery-Car Czar

24. Dennis Ross-Mideast Policy Czar

25. Gary Samore-WMD Czar

26. Todd Stern-Climate Czar

27. Cass Sunstein-Regulatory Czar

28. Paul Volcker-Economic Czar

Now, all of this would be laughable, were it not for the power of these individuals with strong loyalties to the Administration. These people are accountable to no one, able to make policy that affects the lives of ordinary citizens, and collect huge salaries compliments of the taxpayer. On second thought, maybe there should be one more czar–the Gone Too Far Czar.

Each of the people listed above represents a threat to our system of government. We are not Russians. We don’t need czars to micromanage our affairs.


14. Kenneth Feinberg-Pay Czar

Here's an interesting tidbit on this czar from Michelle Malkin.

Feinberg's official title is "Special Master of Compensation."

History footnote: The term “special master” is a legal term referring to court-appointed volunteers who ensure that judicial orders are followed. In common law, “special masters in lunacy” handled psychiatric cases.

“Masters in lunacy” fits the Obama administration nicely, doesn’t it?

An unanswered question is: How much are these people paid?

How much are they paid?
How much can they spend? Approved by whom? And funded by where?
And who Czars the Czars?

I've no idea how much they are paid - but, for every Czar there has got to be a huge staff somewhere.......

We are so screwed.

Some day.......

Hey Meier,
Well, actually, it is spelled 'Царь' and the English equivalent is simply based on how the word sounds from Russian - tsar, tzar, czar, and csar all approximate it pretty well so I don't know what you are complaining about.

Oh, and Bush had tzars as well - a half dozen maybe. And IIRC the very fist American tzar was William Bennett who was appointed drug tzar by GHW Bush.
So feel free to blame Republicans for starting the trend - but I'm sure that will get in the way of everyones whining.

Whats wrong - are you a sore loser who cannot admit that you failed when challenged? Tell you what - if you change the 'registered user' part in you user CP to Meier for a week I will consider the challenge honoured.
So do you honour your bets or not?

i do not engage in the silliness you do, i suggest you go find someone who is as silly as you, do not engage me here as i do not find you amusing. whatever you feel you must say go for it. every thread you post on seems to get closed. i think clubvrm.com would welcome you,as i do not.
i post jokes and rib politicians you seem to offer nothing but personal attacks on individuals in here. i will send a moderator a complaint if you continue with me.

thank you for your cooperation.

Fred

You said 'should i send you links to some of your posts where you are a fan of obama.'
Now they want your knives.......
- sounds like someone else making personal comments.
And am I to think that if you had found one you would let me live it down (and I saw that you were reading a lot of the old threads that afternoon)? And I guess the difference between you and me is that I would not have gone running to the moderators if you had.

I would really advise against trying to dish it out (and failing) if you are incapable of taking it.

Mods, I'm dropping it - he has shown his true nature and that is enough for me.

Steve

Hmmm....... it's very tempting...

Sorry Jamo, I didn't think the cavalry would arrive that fast.
As I said - it's dropped.
