The proliferation of White House "czars" in charge of everything from financial issues to media issues is more of the same circumvention of the public and of the Constitution. Czars don't have to be confirmed by the Senate, the way Cabinet members must be My guess is that with this singular folly by Obama of appointing so many extra-constitutional 'Czars', that the ultimate fallout will be of 'Czars' being outlawed as presidential 'advisors' in the future.
This is what happens when one branch blatantly abuses its constitutional powers

I don’t know the answer but suspect it’s because he says they have to take responsibility for their actions and there’s no free lunch.

Agreed, he’s exploited a process to the point of circumventing the separation of powers.

So why don’t most black people revere this man and his so clear wise commentary? Because he doesn't tell them that all their problems are someone elses fault and he doesn't promise to take away from other people to give to them.

Sowell hits it again. I’m sure he can forget about a Christmas card this year from obamma!

"lying Marxist"
I find it surprising to say this, but Obama appears to be a bigger liar than Bill Clinton. And that's saying something.

The most important thing about what anyone says are not the words themselves but the credibility of the person who says them. Oui.
How can Marxist Obama know, for example, that the provisions of the legislation will allow you to keep your doctor and medical plan? (Or, for that matter, that the plan will "save" money?) Or any of the Big Con promises that he makes with such facility?
He knows NOTHING for sure-zies about the ultimate contents of the bill that will arrive on his desk.
Thus, isn't saying what it says and what it will and will not, do nothing less than ...ahem... a lie? And, prima facie would this not be a deliberate, look-you-in-the-eyes-while-smiling-in-order-to-deceive-you kind of lie?

Agreed, he’s exploited a process to the point of circumventing the separation of powers. And guess who isn't going to like that one bit? Yep .. Congress. Congress, whether Dem or Pub or Lib or Conserv or whatever isn't going to like having *their* authority stepped on by some mere extra-constitutional orders from the executive branch.
After the Dem Love Fest of retaking two out of three branches of government wears off, it'll be the Dem Congress who turns on their Dem Executive leader first, for cutting them out of the equation with these 'Czars' ... you heard it here first :)
To: jazusamo
This gentleman is made of awesome.
Everything I’ve ever read or heard by him has been spot on.
I’d love to be added to your PING list please.
