Is Obama Forming a “Shadow Government?”
POSTED AT 4:29 PM ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2009 BY DAFYDD AB HUGH
Today, President Barack H. Obama appointed yet another “czar”, making the announcement at an AFL-CIO Laborious Day picnic in Cincinnati today; Ron Bloom will make the 33rd Obamic Czar, counting Van Jones, who just resigned but will surely be replaced with a less explosive (but every bit as Marxist) appointee, and after Obama taps someone else to fill Bloom’s old position as Car Czar.
Thanks to Glenn Beck, who has done a bravura job of journalism, here are the Czars; entries in blue are those Czar positions created expressly by Barack Obama:
Richard Holbrooke — Afghanistan Czar
Jeffrey Crowley — AIDS Czar
Ed Montgomery — Auto Recovery Czar
Alan Bersin — Border Czar
David J. Hayes — California Water Czar
Ron Bloom — Car Czar (moved to Manufacturing Czar today)
Dennis Ross — Central Region Czar
Todd Stern — Climate Czar
Lynn Rosenthal — Domestic Violence Czar
Gil Kerlikowske — Drug Czar
Paul Volcker — Economic Czar
Carol Browner — Energy and Environment Czar
Joshua DuBois — Faith Based Czar
Jeffrey Zients — Government Performance Czar
Cameron Davis — Great Lakes Czar
Van Jones — Green Jobs Czar (resigned)
Daniel Fried — Guantanamo Closure Czar
Nancy-Ann DeParle — Health Czar
Vivek Kundra — Information Czar
Dennis Blair — Intelligence Czar
Ron Bloom — Manufacturing Czar
George Mitchell — Mideast Peace Czar
Kenneth R. Feinberg — Pay Czar
Cass R. Sunstein — Regulatory Czar
John Holdren — Science Czar
Earl Devaney — Stimulus Accountability Czar
J. Scott Gration — Sudan Czar
Herb Allison — TARP Czar
Aneesh Chopra — Technology Czar
John Brennan — Terrorism Czar
Adolfo Carrion Jr. — Urban Affairs Czar
Ashton Carter — Weapons Czar
Gary Samore — WMD Policy Czar
In each case, the One has replaced functions normally carried out by cabinets or other agencies, headed by secretaries and directors who are subject to Senate confirmation (thus accountable to the United States Congress), with unelected, unconfirmed, unaccountable apparatchiks who ultimately answer to only one person: Barack Obama.
The departments raided of their authority in favor of Czars include the Departments of State, Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Labor, Interior, Energy, Commerce, and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) — that’s the entire cabinet except for the Departments of Education, Transportation, and Veterans’ Affairs).

Republicans file the Czar Act of 2009 - it's time to tell Obama 'Hell no you can't'.

Republican Representative Jack Kingston (GA) and 29 Republican co-sponsors filed legislation that would force Obama to actually be accountable by vetting his Czars. This is probably one of the most needed pieces of legislation that we will see in our lifetimes. Obama has a list of 34 Czars - some 'positions' that still need to be filled but of that number 27 have not been vetted by Congress. In 6 months Obama has taken it upon himself to bypass Congress and the American people by appointing his very own 'shadow government'. The Czars report directly to him and are not held accountable to Congress; therefore, not held accountable to the American people - who pay their salaries.
From the United States Constitution - Article II, Section 2:
"[The President] shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments."
This clearly states that what Obama is doing by appointing Czars left and right is a violation of the Constitution...
