Exactly what power do the czars have? What decisions can they make? Who approves them? Vetts them? How much are they being paid? How much info do they have access to? Is this a shadow government set up to abolish what we have, legislative, judicial and excutive? You would think the media would be outraged but its like they’ve had their brains removed and replaced with a loop tape of “we love Obama, he can do no wrong”.
Yeah, it’d be nice to know what this new branch of the government does.

"But Obama loves historical comparisons and, according to the Washington Examiner, the first such czar dates back to FDR’s “‘war production czar’ Donald Nelson, who was joined by an economic czar, a manpower czar, a food czar and even a rubber czar.”
