Well I can not wait til President Palin appoints the Firing Czar. In charge of firing all Liberals infesting the government.
“Czar is a Slavic term derived from the Latin word Caesar, meant emperor in the European medieval sense of the term, that is, a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch).”
From Wikipedia.
In crossword parlance: DESPOT. Need I add more?
Bump!
I would guess they’re paid from the president’s discretionary spending.
Good news, the Czars are very radical and intentionally used to bypass us.
This could get good!
OK, everybody needs to get on the horn to Congress and give them the atta boys and girls and continued encouragement.
Speaking of Obama & cronies, I do hope biz is ready for the Chicago-style strong-arming that’s coming their way from his new chief of staff.
43. Nicholas II, Czar of Russia
I’m starting to believe that the Tea Party Pubbies are smoldering- almost on fire. I can’t wait until 2012.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.......
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation
(Time for Congress to also read the Declaration of Independence)
The communists had a good idea on what to do with czars....Just saying...
Let’s not forget that it’s up to us to cheer them on and let them know that we appreciate everything they’re doing.
We need to write, call, e-mail our kudos and agreement every time they do us proud. That will go a long way to build up their resolve and keep them on the right track.
It’s going to be mind-boggling what the MessSM and the Democrats are going to throw at these people. They need encouragement daily.
Someone should warn them that, in all probability, a few battalions of call-girls, male prostitutes and undercover grunts have already been dispatched to insure their downfall. Americans are getting less and less tolerant of such scandals. Should lawmakers be held to a higher standard? YES! Along with sports figures, pop stars and anyone else who is trusted to set an example for society.
A lot depends on this Congress. Let’s help them all we can.
FDR started the sordid practice- who else? It grew until Bush 2 at 32 and now Obummer at 39. (Reagan had one)
Time’s up - the sooner the better.

Introduce a bill outlawing communism and socialism as subversive ideologies antithetical to Americanism, and I’ll really feel all warm and fuzzy...
But hey...one step at a time.
Reagan had just 1 czar, the drug czar.
I would agree. Read the Constitution. Particularly the separation of powers doctrine. Congress can’t tell the President which advisors to hire (even if I don’t like them). Inside the executive branch he can establish whatever positions he wants. I don’t like any of his appointees, I sure don’t like the term Czar but I don’t see the power vested in Congress to do anything about it.
YEESSSS, go for the jugular of the Progressives. One that needs to gois this one:
From Time Mag:
DeParle comes to the job with a wide range of private-sector connections, some of which could prove problematic. For years she worked as a health-care adviser at JPMorgan Partners, a private equity firm, and CCMP Capital Advisers, another private investment firm with significant health-care holdings. She has served as a director on companies as varied as Cerner, which develops electronic medical records, and DaVita, which provides dialysis service. The companies and their investments could well be effected by the direction of health reform, which will necessarily seek to reduce costs in some areas, while increasing investments in others. (death panels?)

and this:
she has become a highly sought-after corporate, academic and foundation consultant, earning enough money with her husband, New York Times reporter Jason DeParle, to buy a $3 million house in the Washington suburbs in 2007.

You're mistaken. FDR had 11 czars. Since Truman left, only Ike and Reagan had 1 czar. All other presidents had 2-3 until Clinton had 8.
They exploded under W to 32.
