Yes, he is correct...and of course Congress should be upset since the czars usurp their authority.

Talk is cheap. If these senators, especially the Democrats, really cared, they would introduce a bill that cuts the pay of these czars until they submit to Congress.

Some of these people Obama is placing in high positions are complete kooks.

A homosexual in charge of school safety?
A nutbag in charge of regulations?
