ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The founders of the National Republican Trust PAC (NRTP), Scott Wheeler and Peter Leitner, are set to release a powerful expose on Barack Obama's unelected shadow government. The book, "Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You To Know About His Czars," scheduled for release in mid-September is available for order at GOPTrust.com. Several thousand copies have been pre-ordered by the public.

-- Adolfo Carrion, former Bronx Borough President with a history of taking bribes and putting the interests of his donors above those of the community was named Director of Urban Affairs by Obama.

-- Ron Bloom, labor leader, is at the helm of the unprecedented government interference into the private sector. With no real experience in the auto industry, Bloom is the successor of the even less qualified Steven Rattner, who left his post amidst an SEC investigation into his private equity firm. Bloom is a former investment banker who made his name working with the United Steelworkers union.

-- Van Jones, a self-avowed communist, was appointed Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (Green Jobs Czar).

-- Kevin Jennings was appointed to be Safe Schools Czar. Jennings has actively promoted homosexuality in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and on college campuses and has distributed graphic material to children as a way to support his crusade.

-- Carol Browner, Obama's Energy Czar, was listed as a commissioner in Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labour parties.

Last night I was trying to figure out who all these people are and what their backgrounds are, something I often do on a number of “officials”.

I stumbled upon this from the Washington Postoastie:

http://www.whorunsgov.com/

Google away from these intros. In my opinion, even with the positive spin provided by the Postoastie, these people are mostly far, far, far left with little to recommend them in the way of experience or accomplishment in some cases.

As you dig into the dossiers of these and other “officials” you find a massed collection of people who are WOP ...Without Portfolio, who have lived off of government programs, who have been career aides, bureaucrats, educators and wallstreeters (something I have never figured out leaving me with the impression that agression and guile are the most requisite qualifications for such work).

We have managed to elect a lot of spinators and congresscreeps who pretty much could not have real productive private sector employment nearly so gainful as they enjoy at the taxpayer trough.

Lots of political science majors, BA in somethig majors and of course lawyers. I don’t know about anybody else but those majoring the first two categories and pre-law were the ones who were generally partying, playing intramural sports and just generally goofing off while those of us in the college of engineering and pre-med worked our butts off.

The MSM just might be waking up to the fact that the truth sells stories. Investigative reporting is interesting.

The just can't get past their core belief that all democrats are good, and all conservatives are bad.

I thought the same thing— what is up with that. I haven’t clicked on link yet, so am wondering if this is the original title.

Glenn Beck put the question out there (just to be fair) that he wondered if the potus knew about VJ’s back ground...& then of course it came out that he did know.

The big question is why did he do it with the polls showing how his ratings were tanking

The bad thing about shadows is, the sun doesn’t always shine.

Without the MSM giving this coverage the average person won't even know he was appointed or fired

Well you KNOW this book will have a snowball's chance in hell of being reviewed in the new york times.

Like anyone reads the New York Times any more. It may not be reviewed by the NYT, but I won't be surprised to see it on the NYT Best Sellers list.

Let’s not forget a lynchpin of 0bama’s transfer of wealth financial activist scum-bots...

Hughes Named Chairman of New York Federal Reserve

Denis Hughes, president of the New York State AFL-CIO, was named chairman of the powerful Federal Reserve Bank of New York today. Hughes, who has served as acting chairman of the board of directors since May, was named chairman for the remainder of 2009.

Hughes says his experience on the board has been a “great experience,” which has allowed him to see firsthand how the nation’s economy really works.

Says Hughes:

“My job is to do whatever I can to make sure working families are considered when decisions are made.”

Hughes, a 40-year member of the Electrical Workers (IBEW, has led the New York State federation since 1999.

The New York bank is the operating arm of the Federal Reserve System in New York, northern New Jersey, Fairfield County in Connecticut, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It is the largest of the 12 Federal Reserve district banks in terms of assets and volume of activity.

The central bank has a seven-member Board of Governors in Washington, which appointed Hughes to the New York post. District bank chairs are designated annually.


A freakin union rep NOW the head of the most powerful Fed bank in America???

As I keep saying, Van Jones was only one of the CommuFascists leading the government right now. There are many more.

Celebrate this today- toast victory in this one battle.

After that, the war resumes, and everyone must continue the fight.

The OldMedia FRAUDCasters did nothing to shine the light on VanJones. Most people in the country don’t follow the New Media, and they’re going to be baffled about the “resignation”. Enlighten them. Let them know that the reason he was in Dear Leader’s administration to begin with is that he fit right in- they knew all about who he was and what he represented. They all agree with him from A to Z.

Tell the people they need to start listening to the New Media because the FRAUDcasters are not telling them the truth.

The Truth WILL set us free, if we continue to help it shine.

Shadow government...exactly! These appointees don’t have to go through congressional approval and have all the power..the cabinet heads are just there for the public. Van Jones had 30 billion dollars at his disposal.

The people running the government right now area ALL CommuFascists. See what CommuFascism means at this LINK.

From Dear Leader and all his adminstration to Pelosi and all her staff and many many others, "Progressive" is simply a word that they use to hide that they are "one-world" Fascists, and they behave and are trying to rule that way. Study that link and the links there and you'll see the truth.

Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama’s pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for “global governance” and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change.

By Thursday, Mrs. Browner’s name and biography had been removed from Socialist International’s Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group’s congress in Greece was still available.

The just can't get past their core belief that all democrats are good, and all conservatives are bad.

There's that old saying, "A conservative is someone who believes that that liberals' ideas are evil. A liberal is someone who believes that conservatives are evil."

Then there's this: "Great minds talk about principles. Middling minds talk about ideas. Small minds talk about people."

NYT hasn’t reviewed several of its recent or current bestsellers — the ones by Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Dick Morris, etc.
