So in effect we have NON-ELECTED officials, who are backed by The White House, who are given the tools and resources to do the bidding of the President and they are accountable to NO ONE! These czars’s don't have to undergo Senate Confirmation Hearings, they just get appointed.
But as the so-called "czars" keep piling up, it's raising serious questions about how powerful these White House insiders are and seems to make the term "czar" all the more appropriate.
They are there to strong arm in each category listed .........for the "Presidente"
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!!! I want them all fired!!! or to go through a vetting process. Who are these people? Time to do our own investigating.
ReplyDeleteTheoretically, if they are being paid for their Czarship with taxpayers money, they are answerable to the taxpayers. Even the Glorious Leader is answerable to the citizens of the USA. However, we see how the citizens of the USA make the Glorious Leader answerable. The citizens should have stood up and told the little {bleep} that he was going to pay back the $81,000 he stole to take his wife on a bleeding date!

Just like gub'munt and the national debt: it keeps growing and growing and growing.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that he is handing out favours and we will see a lot more to come. I started to blog about the appointment to head NASA because I questioned the qualifications of the person he appointed.
ReplyDeleteI question all the appointment to these unofficial jobs...and this from a president that has already travelled around the world twice in 5 months!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is a Great Lakes Czar???? nevermind, i don't want to know....
ReplyDeletethe very title CZAR...............is so UNamerican it churns my stomach!
ReplyDeleteand for sure they don't have to answer to anyone..
ReplyDeleteI like the car czar...he quit to "return to private life and his family"...yeah and is under investigation back home...
ReplyDeleteToo many Czars, not enough Rasputins!
ReplyDeleteObama isn't a leader. That's obvious. If he was you would have seen it right off. There would have been no victory balls or dinners following his election. He would have canceled them, saying the money was needed elsewhere in this world crisis. He would have cut his spending and his WIFE'S spending to the bone. The best leaders lead by example. Governments always expand in order to control power within the administration. For example. One man could easily handle four jobs. But that would give him too much power so four men are hired to handle a job one could do.Everyone knows that the government needs to be downsized, but the only man to try it hit a stone wall. Bush was simply unprincipled and too stupid to be an effective leader.
ReplyDeleteYes, you have an acute sense of what is amiss here. Who shows up to open a foodbank wearing $500 sneakers? Who flies Air Force One from Washington to New York for a "date night"...an what executive would look at projected income and then evaluate proposed expenditures in a budget and think going into the red was sound fiscal policy...I mean when Amazon was bleeding money expanding, they were making stready progress in recapturing set up costs, because Jeff Bezos had a plan...whereas Obama has a committee of equally silly people coming up with these ideas...
