Here a Czar, there a Czar, everywhere a Czar Czar ...

Old Obama had a Czar, ee I ee I oh.

How many Czars do you think we have now? Would you believe 14? Some reports say there are as many as 20. I do know it is at least 14 because I can name 14 of them.

For those unfamiliar with why we have a Czar, (the newest being a "Pay Czar")the Czar is a buffer between the President and the activity to create the illusion that the President is not playing politics or taking control of something. We now have more Czars than mother Russia.

Example: The new "Pay Czar" will determine how much companies that took stimulus money can pay their employees. Sons and daughters of the politically connected and blessed may receive one amount while those who supported the infidel McCain might be compensated at a different level.

This happened with the closings of car dealerships. The "Car Czar" closed dealerships that contributed to republicans while leaving less profitable dealerships that contributed to Obama open.

Change you can believe in baby .... are we having fun yet?

Ee I ee I Oh.

If Bush had not screwed everything up, we would not need all these Czars to help fix his train wrecks.

I knew we we in trouble years ago when Bush chose Cheney as his VP.

When you speak of Cheney, it is obvious you know nothing about this patriot who has served his country well for many years. You have fallen into the trap set for idle minds by the same mainstream media that has crucified Cheney at every turn. In fact, he may have made a better President than Vice President.

The truth about Richard Bruce Cheney by a fellow Republican Lawrence B. Wilkerson. Interesting reading in the Washington Note. The site has a copy right otherwise I would have posted it. Colonel Wilkerson has great deal to say on the Cheney/Bush administration.

I prayed for George W's continued health and well being the entire time that he was president, because as bad of a president as he was for this country that I love, Cheney would have made him look like Mr. Rogers. Look for idle minds snared in media-set traps somewhere else, because there are none when it comes to rejecting the motives and actions of Dick Cheney.

The way that corporate governance was set up was a decent system, but it has been co-opted. The Corporate Board of Directors was to be the watchdog of the shareholders and to ensure that the Management did not make poor decisions. But what has evolved is that Corporate Management is sitting on other Company's Boards, or have cozy relationships. Thus the Boards have become rubber stamps for whatever the management presents them. Including big, fat wage and incentive plans.

Because the fix is in. Have you ever tried to lead a proxy fight as a shareholder? Since there are large institutional investors who are also on Boards, it has become very dicey. I agree, show me where the government should be setting wage and price controls- oh wait, they do that every day--minimum wage, etc. I don't have a good plan to fix corporate compensation, not a big fan of the government doing it, but it ties into the interstate commerce clause much better than the law against guns in school zones do.

but just where does it stop.. Oh I know .. it is easy to demonize execs making 7-digits.. but I don't believe the Gov will stop there.. next will be all businesses that have gov contracts.. then any supplier.. etc.. afterall it affects the taxpayer..Any time the gov interferes with the free market NOTHING good comes from it..History has shown us this.. and History will not look kind on this in the future..

they haven't had a czar since 1919. When did it become an American word? Do we really want to be calling people after a by definition imperious person?
