This is another way to try and make Congress unnecessary or at least subordinate. Obama wants to be a dictator and Congressional confirmation and oversight is an irritating detail he would like to eliminate.

You've got the definitions a bit mixed up there.

Citizens own and control businesses = Capitalism.
Citizens own, but government controls businesses = Socialism Fascism.
Government owns and controls businesses = Socialism or Communism.

‘we are going to Socialize, errrrrrr we are going to run your oil companies’ Maxine Waters.

They clearly announced their intentions. If we had an independent Media, O B A M A wouldn’t have been elected.

How do you get someone in such a large group of Bolsheviks to volunteer to be a czar?

DumBO’s idea of management is to double down on bad ideas.

Our government uses us as slave labor. We're already making our bricks without straw, yet it wants more "sacrifices" from us. They claim it's our patriotic duty to serve those who feed off us.

“And just why is the President proposing to transfer all of the power and contractual authority held by the Secretaries of DoT, DoI, DoE, and the Administrator of GSA to a new White House Czar?”

Remember his ‘just as well funded and just as well equipped’ private army proposal?
We’re seeing someone who is trying to be the next Fuhrer.

Why does Congress allow this guy to remain as Present?

Because to oppose him is racist.

I think if we look at recent headlines, we can draw the dots to what he believes he can run on. Recently articles have appeared which state things like Gaitner did not follow der leaders demands regarding banks; some of his top aides did not give him accurate advice; and when something gets close to him, he tosses someone under the bus (Holder Next or will it be the Energy guy?). So, with so many Czars, he can now blame them for failure. This from a guy who took how long to meet with his cabinet, you know, those who were senate confirmed? He is running the government like he ran the Harvard Law Review. According to some comments by those there, we never saw him, he just showed up from time to time and did nothing. How many present votes in the state legislature?

This guy is a turkey and if the press had not totally supported him from his Senate days, he would be cleaning the cages at the local zoo rather than being in his present affirmative action job.

Before long he's going to need someone to watch over the Czars. Perhaps a Czar Czar. I can only image who B.O. would select for Czar Czar.

You called dahlink?

Ah yes, Obama’s advisors have proven themselves very adept at spending tax payer money on special projects like solar energy companies.

Excellent question. And I never thought the SCOTUS was so irrelevant when it comes to the Constitution and the operation of this Country.

And check out what the Department of Labor is about to do:

“You need to act before Wednesday. At a time when the Obama Administration is clamoring to save or create jobs, his Department of Labor is about to sucker punch America’s job creators with an unprecedented regulatory overreach—all to curry more favor with union bosses.

On Wednesday, the public comment period will be closing on a Department of Labor proposal that the majority of America knows nothing about and even fewer understand.

If enacted as drafted, the union cronies within the Department of Labor will require every private-sector employer and service provider (whether or not they ever talk directly to employees) to file financial statements with the Obama Labor Department if the service provider’s services indirectly affect employees’ choice to unionize or not.”

We need to be even MORE vigilant in this last year of an Obama administration.

This is nothing more than a slush fund that completely bypasses Congress and any attempt to make sure these projects are even viable in the first place.

Letting an unelected “Czar” disburse money like this is completely un-Constitutional in my view, and I don’t see any Congress Critter from either House or either Party, especially those running for reelection in 2012, getting onboard with this idea and handing some Czar a blank check.

So that means this whole idea is DOA before Premier Hussein even reads his latest speech.
