Unfortunately, Jones was extremely well qualified for the position of Green Jobs Czar. I'm not...

This Czar stuff is a bunch of baloney.
Just a way of Obama creating job titles to employ his friends, imho.
Another example of, "you can tell a man's character by the friends he keeps. "

It's been reported that he never filled out the vetting paper work.
Who ever got a job without filling out the application?

From what I heard the paperwork is more for appointees who require confirmation. The czar positions are a little more relaxed.

That's exactly why Obama has so many Czars. They don't have to be approved or confirmed like cabinet members. I'm sure if you looked into the backgrounds of a lot of his Czar cronies, you'd find things that would prevent them from being confirmed by even liberal members of the Senate. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Eh. Bush had over 30 different czars during his time in office, none of which were official vetted.
This isn't a brand new thing in the executive branch. This czar business developed during the early years of the Bush administration. The Republican Congress changed the regulations for presidential advisers, giving person advisers to the president "executive privilege" (Cheney's favorite buzz-phrase) and not being required to have background checks or be approved.
Entertainingly, Glenn Beck (who's started a lot of the yelling about czars) states that George Bush had 4 czars and Obama has "16 and counting." "Fair and Balanced" my ass.
A bigger concern for me is Obama appointing a former UAW member as Manufacturing Czar. I believe the UAW to be a figurative bucket of concrete in which the automotive companies feet were cemented into before they went overboard. |
