Just call them Commissars: "Commissar is the English transliteration of an official title (Russian: комисса́р) used in Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. The title was mostly associated with a number of Cheka and military functions in many Bolshevik and Soviet government military forces during the Russian Civil War; the White Army widely used the collective term bolsheviks and commissars for their opponents. After that, it was mostly used for People's Commissar (or narkom) for government ministers, and political commissar in the military."

Seems Øbama is distracting the citizenry with hurry-up, must-do legislation and bailouts while he takes over industry and banking and constructs his very own...
politburo [(pol-it-byoor-oh, poh-lit-byoor-oh)]

A commonly used name for those who made the major governmental decisions in the former Soviet Union. A politburo, in general, is the chief committee of a communist party.

They are accountable to no one and serve at the "pleasure" of the "President". 32 and counting.

Oh, and since it is evident that Øbama has learned from the very "best" of historical figures, particularly tyrants, I imagine it won't be long before we hear his appointment of kapos as well.
