I believe they would more correctly be named "Commissars."

The GOP.com website is pathetic - they are missing the boat. If regular folks are causing this much pain to the Dems, think what could be done with social networks or at least a viable website. C’mon GOP, get on your horse!!!!

Let the “GOP” ride the on the coattails of the tea party? “F” em...they won’t be there when needed (save a couple of them) The rest can go pound it.

What we do, we do without the weak kneed GOP...they need to get that message. They are the problem as much as bho and will lose in 2010 just as the dems

Somebody is a dumber than a stump over on politic, several somebodies as no one caught this on the second page.

President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked a series of White House advisers to handle various aspects of World War II in the early 1940s.

GOP? Who are they?

This has been going on for weeks, and those clowns are just showing up to the party today? We can thank talk radio (again) for sticking up for the people.

Of course if the GOP had any moxie we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

Republican politicians had absolutedly nothing to do with what is taking place, if anyone deserves credit it is Glenn Beck, in spite of boycott enacted by the administration against him, he has lead the charge in exposing the socialist and fascist in the administration.

I called the RNC a few weeks ago complaining about the number of Czar’s Obama has appointed and how wrong it is that they don’t have to go through a vetting process, the guy at the RNC said “what Obama is doing is allowed”. I was furious at his comment, and asked him when Republicans are going to get down and dirty and fight back, no response to that question.

Someone should write a book called “All the president’s czars” - a tell all book that really investigates the backgrounds, the personal histories, the speeches and the lives of all these czars much like Woodward and Bernstein did with the Nixon WH. I dare say many of the czars would not be able to withstand intense congressional oversight and scrutiny.

The bias is amazing. They won’t report the mans insane views but they do think attacks on him are newsworthy

He must have something dirty on Obama, why else would he let this knucklehead in his cabinet/administration, whatever?

‘Someone should write a book called “All the president’s czars”

Isn’t that the point of Michelle Malkin’s, “Culture of Corruption?”

Obambi and Van Jones are from the same mold. Van Jones does not have to have anything on Zero - they both think the same but 0 has successfully disguised his ideaology (at least to 52-53% of the voters) up until this point.
