One of the things that have been really bugging about the Obama White House is all the czars. I hate to have to say it yet again, but had Bush done the same thing (he did have a few) with the large amount of czars, the Democrats would have been beside themselves with outrage. The reality is that Bush really needed the czars far more then Obama, since getting conservatives past the Senate is like pulling teeth, hard and painful.
However since its Barry, its OK! Never mind that B.O. would have no trouble with getting his picks for the cabinet though Congress he resorts to czars with no oversight from Congress. Doesn't he trust his own Democrat majority in Congress? I guess not, maybe he knows it likely he has only two years of a Democrat one? Most of these "jobs" should (and would be, by any other president) be done by cabinet level officials. Not that very many of these "jobs" really need to be done (green jobs czar, diversity czar, give me a break!)
Maybe it shows how little management experience he has, or how much he is dumping "work" on others. This White House is showing cracks, its great at campaigning but pretty lousy at running itself in office. I guess that why things like health care are being run like campaigns.
Well, he pulled the plug on one of the czars late Friday when nobody would notice or care.
Van Jones the "green" czar was forced out. He had so pretty radical ideas, something the Obama White House has a large supply of.
The sad thing is, he isn't the worst the Obama czars has to offer. There is another that is far worse in my book. He hasn't got much attention either, even from the conservative side. I don't know why more aren't going after him, there was a piece on Fox but it seems to have died.
His name is John Holdren, the "science" czar. This guy is a pure wacko. I don't even know where to start with this guy.
Here is the whole story from
Zombietime, its a long piece. Zombie is a blogger who is one of the best investigative reporters out there today. It shows that its pure nonsense that only the "mainstream" media can do great investigative reporting, not that they do it anymore. There is also a great piece from before the election where he came very close
to linking Obama to the Weather Underground. Had others been doing this, the link probably would have been found and there wouldn't be a Prez Obama! My guess that's what the L.A. Times is still hiding from the public. No proof on that theory.
This is the place that Fox News found the story (on Holdren) that hasn't gone anywhere. But back to Zombie, here's the
main website. He started with a mostly photography based site, with shots from anti-bush rallies etc. He has done more writing, the very detailed reporting you don't see much anymore. Check it out.
Hoping for Real Change!
