Get to know your CZARS

Investigating Obama-Complete list of Czars

You didn't vote for them. There was no election. There was no chance for the public to have any say into who the Obama administration appointed to these positions. They don't answer to the people. They don't even answer to our elected representatives. They answer only to the president.

We don't know much about what these czars do, or how much they are paid. I've posted a link to this list of czars so that we can all have the opportunity to get to know our CZARS a little bit. Check back often because there are unfilled positions and they are also planning to make more positions.

Maybe I can be the "cry me a god damn river czar". I'll use my favorite saying for both Dems and Reps equally.

"Those Democrats keep blah blah blah." "Cry me a god damn river sir/mam"

"Those intolerant Republicans blah blah blah." "Cry me a god damn river sir/mam"

I could actually get paid to insult people, and our government might be crazy enough to hire me!

(Not meant to be an insult to any people of either political parties)

You just failed for the position. Your final line should be:

If I insulted anyone of either political party, "Cry me a god damn river sir/ma'am".

I had to put a disclaimer there to cover my ***, just like a real politician!

Are these all new positions? Were these positions not around in previous administrations? Did we vote in or know about the position holders or how much they made?



Yes, those are rhetorical questions as there was mention of a previous admin's czar on the Compleat list.

For crying out loud, Tom, this has been going on since forever and under both Democratic and Republican Administrations.

Please read the history of the WWII era, the Korean War era, the VietNam war era just as examples. of when various Administrations put into place a person or people to oversee various aspects of our lives.

Just now, it is mainly economic, but the stakes are just as high as under various wartime conditions.

Bill

I am aware that there are czars from previous administrations, who weren't voted for, who don't answer to the people or thier representatives. I just wanted to highlight the fact that Obama has brought on many more czars. We should get to know them.

Rothkopf-Foreign Policy-It's official: Obama creates more czars than the Romanovs

I'm not trying to make excuses for the past. Just trying to shine more light on the present.
