So Many Czars, So Little Time: Michelle Malkin Explains Who Obama’s “Special Assistants” Are

On Glenn Beck’s TV show Monday, author Michelle Malkin lamented the existence of the dozens of so-called czars that President Obama has appointed to help bring radical, unwanted change to America. Czars are powerful special assistants focused on specific issues; they are appointed by the president and do not require Senate confirmation.

Vivek Kundra, a convicted shoplifter who tried to evade the police, is now Obama’s infotech czar and in charge of sensitive government-information infrastructure, Malkin said.

Health czar Nancy-Ann DeParle was a well paid lobbyist and consultant, but now she may be meeting in secret with health care executives with financial ties to her as she promotes a government takeover of the nation’s health care system, Malkin said. Van Jones is an admitted Communist yet he’s now in charge of the Obama’s administration’s “green jobs” program that has yet to produce a single job.

Dah - "czars." I thought we were supposed to be a democracy. Or is it just a parody of democracy?

Should we citizens take a page from the liberals who innundated Sarah Palin with frivolous law suits and start in on Obama’s CZARS? Atlest we HAVE good reason for law suits!

Czars ... are appointed by the president and do not require Senate confirmation.

Nobody told the Senate apparently:

President Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" has hit a new snag in his Senate confirmation process

Czars in of themself are unconstitutional and even more unconstitutional to confirm them.

Prior administrations had czars.

An Obama czar doesn't worry me -- it's Obama's fetters that I'm concerned about.

No prior administration ever tried to czar and fetter us.

There is one time tested "cure" for Czars; the M1891 Mosin-Nagant.


By pure coincidence Midway USA has 7.62x54R on a closeout special of 500 rounds for $268.99.

I am with you! There should be a flood of lawsuits and Congressional Republicans must get out front demanding accountability and openness on these CZARS!

I think it is more like Politburo USSR than Czars.

Czar is Russian for “Caesar” or “king”. Titles of royalty are specifically prohibited by the Constitution.
