Complicating the discussion is the lack of a universal definition of “czar.” Mr. Pfiffner defines czars as members of the White House staff who coordinate policy that involves more than one executive branch department or agency but stop short of exercising authority that a Senate-confirmed Cabinet secretary would have.

Talk show personality Glenn Beck one time said he counted 32, but analysts dismissed that tally as unreliable.

Although Mr. Obama is not alone in his generous use of policy czars, some specialists argue that his reliance has been unprecedented in size and scope. “Obama has more czars than any past president, hands down,” said Mark J. Rozell, a George Mason University professor who is co-authoring a book on White House czars. He argues that czars violate the spirit of the Constitution’s separation of powers.

They probably haven’t been completely eliminated. I suspect most of them have merely been demoted from “Czar” to “Grand Duke”.

Hussein has already declared himself a candidate for 2012. EVERYTHING he does that moderates his position must be viewed in that context!

He doesn't REALLY intend to stop ruling like an authoritarian. He is merely making cosmetic changes so his fellating media will talk about how he has "grown while on the job" and use these cosmetic actions as evidence.

The same thing is happening with his so-called "compromise" with Boehner.

Never forget: he is a liar.

The Constitution has been undermined for decades with the welfare-state culture that has been created. Winning elections isn’t enough because of the cultural institutions that liberals have used for decades to circumvent obstacles to their agenda, and the use of Czars is only one of them.

Activist judges, executive Czars, affirmative action lawsuits, and social programs have all been used to erode the separation of powers and federalism to nothing more than empty words. Fortunately they’ve seemed to exhausted themselves to the point of collapse, but we’ve got our work cut out to reclaim the government, media, academia etc.

Cool, once they are officially recognized as unconstitutional, we can ignore all past czar dictates.

Have you seen any WASPs in Obama’s czardom or on his Supreme Court? We WASPS are still the most numerous demographic in the USA yet we get no appointed representation or a seat at the table. Representation is at the heart of democracy and I’m tired of being the underdog. Like it or not we are all tribal in nature.
