Possibly due to this? From The Politico in April...
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that Rattner was involved with payments at the center of an investigation into an alleged kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund. Sourcing their information to a "person familiar with the matter," Journal reporters Craig Karmin and Peter Lattman reported that Rattner, who was then an executive at Quadrangle Group, an investment firm he co-founded, met with a "politically connected" consultant to discuss a finder's fee. Quadrangle later paid a $1.1 million fee, and received a $100 million investment from the New York State Common Retirement Fund.

Czars don’t “step down,” they “abdicate.”

Czars don’t “step down,” they “abdicate.” He should suggest the same for his boss.

Well, I guess it’s back to the drawing board for Hussein! BTW? How many czars are there now? Last count I had it was 32 or 34, then I heard 40 mentioned.
