when i don't want to pretend that i know everything (because i don't, you know), i love to surround myself with smart people who know lots of things and then get those people to give me advice. then i can make decisions based on whether i agree with them or not.
i should note that i knew, when voting for obama, that his experience was not broad enough to make him an expert in everything. i told people at the time that i was voting for what i saw as his ability and willingness to apply smart people to tough problems.
as opposed to a patriachical-decider-in-a-bunker mentality. looks like it's working!
In the executive branch of the US government, only the president is elected. So what's the deal with having Czars appointed by the president?
If I remember my history correctly, Ronald Reagan was the first to appoint interdepartmental coordinators (aka 'Czars) for specific subjects that fell into multiple jurisdictions. Government isn't the problem, smart government is part of the solution.
"czars" have absolute power...how can any of you actually be comfortable with that? if obama is so intelligent, then why does he insist on using a loaded term like "czar" instead of just calling them advisors?
Since I, too, love conspiracy theories, I'll jump into the sandbox with you.
You forgot to mention what the CFR really stands for. For 70+ years the CFR has controlled national governments and multinational corporations, and is also in full control of all major media outlets. Since the 30's, nearly every US President, Secratary of State and Secretary of War has been CFR. Now, thanks to Obama, we can add Czars to the list. The CFR's primary goal: to push the agenda of the New World Order into the lives of every American.
Early on in the 2008 campaign, Obama was asked if he was a CFR member. You can download video of him fumbling for an answer. He said something like, "well, it's not like they give you a membership card to carry around". I don't believe he had the teleprompter in front of him for that one. In any case, he declined to admit that he was affiliated.
Dick Cheney hid his CFR affiliation for quite some time. He was also outted at a press conference. His response was something like, "oh, my bad...guess I forgot to fill America in on this small detail".
Back to illegal czars. What a curious coincidence that nearly every czar is CFR. Regardless of what they CAN do, the disturbing part is what they represent. Government intervention and control of our country.
"conspiracy" is not the right word. it implies an entity that is has control and is monolithic in nature. it's better to think of it as an oligarchy...and here's the thing, to outsiders it may appear to be a conspiracy, but the truth is that within the ruling classes there is actual an incredible amount of competing forces at play. case study available here
oh man, this means i cant do anything about the "safe schools" czar?? or the AIDS czar? GREEN JOBS czar. jeez. the liberal media. i want all of these people out of their jobs immediately! I mean obama can kick them out right? like gonzales and rove kicked out those awful attorneys?
seriously, though, the Safe Schools czar? That's amazing that exists.
people trying to make the world better. Psha! The nerve of them. We should just stop trying to fix all these problems in the world! Like Aids and School shootings! Big Goverment.... how horibble.

but there just policy experts right?
Where do I apply to be a member of this Bildenberger group? That would look amazing on my CV.
is this true? i thought "czars" were russians? what are they doing in the united states?
it would be pretty cool to start a restaurant called 'build-a-burger'
um, they are policy advisors... and 39-2(not appointed yet)=37.
several are approved by congress.
none of the cabinet is elected either.
bush added 12 czar positions anti, why weren't you all whiny and concerned then? stop reading wnd, it'll do a body good.
bildenberger... did you mean bilderberg group. f*ckin illuminati and sh*t! onoz!
max, it's called the counter

Better to call them "czar" than "architect", that's all I can say...;-)
