Government by Czars




“They [the Czars] rarely testify before congressional committees and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege.” At times, he said, one outcome has been to “inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability.”
“The rapid and easy accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the constitutional system of checks and balances,” Byrd said.
As Huckabee notes, “the truly brilliant and inspired men who created our form of government designed it to go slow in making big changes. They were so afraid of vesting too much power in one person or even one branch of government that they created a government that was as tough to steer as a big ship with a small rudder.”

Actually the cartoon is from my usual source at townhall.com. The rest of your shit-ass ad hominem comment is irrelevant. Did the science csar Holdern say words to the effect that mandatory abortion might be necessary ? If so, then you should retract your bull shit & probably worry.



– On July 13, Obama did use the term “Drug Czar” when referring to Gil Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
– Hannity’s March 11 clip of Gibbs saying, “I think I’ve been asked in this room any number of times if the czars in our White House to deal with energy and health care had too much power” was in response to a reporter’s question. In fact, the first person to use the term “czar” in that briefing was Fox News reporter Major Garrett.
– At the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association dinner in June, Obama was joking when he said, “ABC is planning a series called ‘Dancing with the Czars.’” It was part of his comedy routine at the dinner.
– Hannity’s fourth clip was taken from the same March 11 press briefing as his second clip. In fact, it was in response to the exact same question, and came just a sentence later.

Cass R. Sunstein (born September 21, 1954) is an American legal scholar, particularly in the fields of constitutional law, administrative law, environmental law, and law and behavioral economics, who currently is the Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Obama administration. For 27 years, Sunstein taught at the University of Chicago Law School,[1] where he continues to teach as the Harry Kalven Visiting Professor. Sunstein is currently Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he is on leave while working in the Obama administration.
Among his mandates are:
- The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries
or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
- The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
- The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
- The right of every family to a decent home;
- The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
- The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
- The right to a good education.


The Treasury Department is expected to formally announce in the next few days a plan to slash annual salaries by about 90 percent from last year for the 25 highest-paid executives at the seven companies that received the most from the Wall Street bailout. Total compensation for the top executives at the firms would decline, on average, by about 50 percent.
The sweeping decision, though, came from Feinberg and not from President Obama.









Each time, Mr. Obama has emphasized the fact that he is bypassing lawmakers. When he announced a cut in refinancing fees for federally insured mortgages last month, for example, he said: “If Congress refuses to act, I’ve said that I’ll continue to do everything in my power to act without them.”
Aides say many more such moves are coming. Not just a short-term shift in governing style and a re-election strategy, Mr. Obama’s increasingly assertive use of executive action could foreshadow pitched battles over the separation of powers in his second term, should he win and Republicans consolidate their power in Congress.

Collected $430K-Salary as Law Professor...


Incidentally here is the essence esplicitidly stated in the first paragraph of your drudge headline
Brown camp scolds Warren over interest-free loan
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown’s campaign is blasting Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s financial history as she campaigns in support of low-interest student loans, saying the Harvard Law professor’s interest-free loan from Harvard means she is too out of touch with students’ everyday struggles.
Drudge twists the real story and then MR twists it even more to "unelected ruling class cashes up".
Bitter Nation

... & Seth does a RECONTEXTUALISATION (SPIN & LIES) of what are really facts of 20 year interest free loan to the Harvard Law professor making $350,000 last year to brush aside the facts & continue the Obamalagniaphile attack on the mother of Romney's children. Your phony "logical fallacy" (sic) tagger continuation of the RWG stands up good here!
