I keep seeing this everywhere, is this something the news has coined or is he calling his staff "Czars"? I've never heard this title used for presidential staff, I seem to remember there being a "drug czar" under Clinton, but I could be mistaken.

Obama has 16 Czars. Our country is being run by Czars, that just doesn't sound right.

well i guess the good news is, seeing as we have czars now we won't have to reappoint or vote for anyone, when that czar dies his eldest son will take the position.





Oh also there is a deal on the table to over turn the 22nd amendment.

I guess its meant to imply a mastery of the portfolio, with all the powers to do whatever within.. With all the Czars, whats the purpose of even paying or listening to Obama anymore.

I am just waiting for Pelosi's official name.. Dennis Miller suggested Magpie, kinda of insulting to the Magpie.
