Do those czars get their jobs with senate hearings? In terms of job coverage, they basically are as important if not more as those Secretaries...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/12/obama-climate-czar-has-socialist-ties/
answer - nope. not accountable - how’s that?
deckofczars.com to SERKIT
"i already have the deck of czars in the works going to print in 2 weeks ive been working on the deck for a couple of months. Please check out deckofczars.com, the website will be up in 1 week. The deck will contain the czars plus others shady associates of obama. the jokers will be pelosi and ried."
I'll buy some when ready....
They are not vetted by anyone and they are not approved by the Senate. They are all Obozo flunkies...not bound by rules or any Congressional oversight at all.
They are simply Obozo’s minions accountable to NO ONE.
They forgot:
Race Card Czar: Jesse Jackson.
Anti-Semitic Czar: Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Pentagon Bombing Czar: William Ayers.
Intern Hitting Czar (females): Fmr President Bill Clinton.
Intern Hitting Czar (males): Fmr Rep. Gerry Studds.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.” July 4, 1776
This takes the idea of Kitchen Cabinet and turns it into Catering Hall Cabinet.
If they are not vetted by anyone, but holding such huge responsibility and implication, shouldn’t someone —perhaps Republicans in the Senate— make a big deal out of it? Can it be seen as circumvent the Constitution?
It is a circumvention of the US Constitution, but they are DEMONRATS so the laws don’t apply to them...just ask Charlie Rangel, Timmy Geithner and so on and on and on and on...
Dear Mr. Sorotero,
I would like to be considered for the position of Get Rid of the Czars Czar.
Your Friend Always,
PJ
Thank you..
It’s probably time for the conservatives to give the liberals their own favorite pill: sue the president all the way to the Supreme Court. I think this issue may resonate well even among the ‘moderates’ and ‘independents’.

All these czars remind Obama of his fondness for Soviet Russia. His love for Marx and Stalin, gulags and politburos, secret police and the KGB. Obama must be in heaven right now.
