If anyone can read that and not be worried, or believe Obama when he said he's past partisan politics, then I want some of the same drugs they're using.

Yep.
It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
As I've posted many times before, one of my biggest criticisms of Shrub was that his excesses could be used to legitimize the excesses of his successors.

Post the "Side-by-Side Comparisons" of each and post the Radical Views and Activities of the Bush Czars versus the Father Barack Czars and let us muse over the DIFFERENCES.
Every Czar Father Barack has, is some sort of throw back to a 1960's Type Radical Fringe Nutbag that permeated the landscape of that era with every ideal except love of and for the United States.
You can't play that old Shell Game in this instance.
And NO, I am not in favor of and am dead set against "Czars" .... period.

RE: Czar List -- Who Really Has Obama's Ear
Of this list, the following are pretty mainstream and very competent. I'm very surprised to see the CFR described as ultra-liberal. I understand from the John Birch Society standpoint that they are the root of all evil and pull strings behind every living political being on the planet, but they seem like they're pretty mainstream and bipartisan - especially in the context of Washington Think Tanks.

Its a full blown Democrat Lie to say this, complete distortion. There is a big difference between someone who sits before the Senate panel and is confirmed to the position(as the Constitution requires) and what Obama is doing(the opposite of that).
Calling a Spade a Czar
Quote:What this commercial is saying is that we have no right to be upset about Obama’s czar appointments – men assigned massive government jurisdiction and authority – when Bush Jr. did the exact same thing (and they claim the number to be 47). I am of the opinion that both the left and the right have enough things to criticize George W. Bush for that they hardly need to make things up in order to do it. And yet …
The dishonesty of the video became apparent to me when I saw Al Frink’s name and picture. Al is a dear friend of mine, and fellow board member of the Lincoln Club of Orange County here in California (click here). Al chairs our membership committee, and I consider it a tremendous privilege to serve the cause of freedom by co-laboring with Al in our many organizational endeavors. And indeed, Al did serve as George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing in the Commerce Department (Al was the co-founder of carpet manufacturer, Fabrica International). But Al was not Bush’s “czar” of manufacturing; he was confirmed by the United States Senate! People can debate until the cows come home about what positions are legitimate in government, and what positions are not, but the hubbub about “czars” is a hubbub that exists because these people are being arbitrarily appointed by the government, and are not being vetted by our elected representatives. When I saw the video display Al as George Bush’s version of Obama’s car czar, I decided to look into the other names this commercial listed. And guess what?
They are lying about the others as much as they are lying about Al. Al served in the cabinet of George Bush, and had to be approved by the Senate. That is not a “czar”; it is a “government position”. It is accountable to the people. It is vetted by a Constitutional process. It is categorically different than President Obama saying, “this guy’s name is Kenneth Feinberg, and he is now in charge of what executives are going to be paid”. Neel Kashkari is listed as President Bush’s “bailout czar”, but in fact, he was the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and was also confirmed by the U.S. Senate. John Negroponte served as Director of National Intelligence, a cabinet-level position filled by every President, and was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 98-2, and was directly accountable to the House Intelligence Committee. Rod Beckstrom was appointed Director of the National Cyber Security Center, but resigned less than a year later, claiming that a decentralized approach was needed, devoid of federal oversight from the NSA. Wayne Downing served as a Deputy National Security Director, fully accountable to Congress, and frequently asked to testify before lawmaker hearings.
The purpose of this piece is not to defend George W. Bush, who did plenty in his own right to expand government in ways that I find appalling. But the DNC has a responsibility to stick to the facts, and claiming that George Bush appointed 47 people like Van Jones and Kenneth Feinberg and Steve Rattner as “czars” is patently false. The Green Jobs czar, and the compensation czar, and the auto czar have all been appointed by Obama, given huge leeway to set and enforce policy, and have no accountability or oversight within our system of government whatsoever. The names associated with George Bush were confirmed by the lawmakers to whom the Constitution of this country designates that authority and responsibility. The candidates were vetted, and they remained accountable to the people throughout their time in that position.
I believe Obama should be criticized for his repugnant czar appointments (click here). And I believe George Bush should be criticzed for his repugnant entitlement spending (the prescription drug benefit comes to mind). But if the DNC can not criticize the right for the correct reasons, and without lying, they ought to zip it. One day, maybe we will have a “truth in politics” czar.

Ever look at the list the Dimbulbs use for those 47 Czars? People like, oh, I dunno, the Sec'y of Defense, the Sec'y of Education, etc., etc., etc.? No, it's not comparable. Obama is dreaming up positions on a daily basis. Things that SHOULD, per the US Constitution, be left up to the states or, at least, a damn Senate-confirmed position.

RE: Czar List -- Who Really Has Obama's Ear
22 of Bushes so called czars (not czars) went through Senate confirmation. 2 were Recess appointments. 1 was appointed by Sec. of HHS. 1 was held over from prior administration - Pres Clinton appointed.
Bush had 31 supposed czars, 24 who were not czars at all, filled by 46 people.
