Obama has moved swiftly to concentrate power in the White House, bypassing the review of our elected representatives in Congress in most of the posts listed above. Even though cabinet positions are part of the executive branch, the cabinet secretaries must be approved by Congress, they are funded by Congress, and they can be called before Congress to testify. Most of these czars, on the other hand, are appointed by Obama at his sole discretion, and are answerable only to him. If subpoenaed by Congress, they can claim executive privilege.

Right after the election last November, Lowell Ponte of NewsMax published a tongue-in-cheek article that purported to be written eight years in the future, looking back on the Obama administration. Given the administration's current initiatives, the ominous prognostication seems frighteningly likely:

Looking back from 2016 on eight strange years of President Barack Obama's administration, we see that it has been nothing like what idealists believed they were electing in 2008.

The Obama years will be remembered in the Ministry of Truth's official history as the era of 1,000 czars, the elitist commissars he gave the power to rule by fiat in every sector of America's government, economy, and society.... And through their partisan power, Barack Obama became America's permanent caesar.

Beck needs to call on or call out other conservative talkers to investigate like they’ve never investigated before.

Beck and a couple of others can concentrate on investigating ACORN/Reform Now and Organizing for America. Levin and Limbaugh can work on exposing the czars and other conservatives can heavily concentrate on other parts of the beast.

BO’s czars are university professors and Democrat political hacks who have never run a lemonade stand and now are trying to run the country.
Ask anyone who has had an inside view of university life. Were it not for their secretaries, these nitwit professors could not get through the day. They would have failed miserably in any other environment than that of the sheltered university world paid for by parents and taxpayers, who have been propagandized into thinking that a degree is a magical key to success for their children....children who are often living in their parents’ house at age 40.

The Czars are Soros’ shadow government...designed to be put in place if their side survives CWII. That’s an IF that looks like it ain’t gonna happen. True Americans are waking!

This is not a joke. I want to know WHO PAYS the salaries of the CZARS, where are their offices, and do they have real POWER over us? Can they ditate LAW without the vetting of congress.

Do we have a genuine executive branch take-over with a CONGRESS that no one in the house or senate is DOING anything about?

How many Czars can uhbama assign?

What is going on....we have people names CZARS who are avowed communists and other dirtbags...who are only responsive to the president??????????

Do we have a dictator or a president?

I think we'd better get a few CZAR questions before the town hall meetings, as well as health care.

I am getting genuinely freaked by these CZARS now that I know about the history of the 'green CZAR'. I am sick.

Pretty soon we will see BILL AYERS as CZAR of all children between the ages of five and twelve.

Beck also said today that “people on the inside are stareted to come forward” to expose this MASSIVE FRAUD SCHEME being foisted upon the American people. He said this is going to make Watergate look like child’s play.
