    A quote from back in July –
    How is The President appointing all these "Czars", Constitutional?
    It’s interesting when you know the real title of some of these so-called czars – and when the positions were originally created.

    Energy Czar – Director of Federal Energy Adminstration.
    Created in 1973 by President Nixon.
    When he approached William Simon about the position, Nixon asked him – “Do you want to be my energy czar?”

    Drug Czar – Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy
    Created in 1989 by President George H.W. Bush

    Intelligence Czar – Director of National Intelligence
    Created in 2005 by President George W. Bush

    Aids Czar – Director of the Office of National Aids Policy
    Created by President Clinton

    Border Czar – Assistant Secretary for International Affairs and Special Representative for Border Affairs (Department of Homeland Security)
    Created by President George W. Bush

    Science Czar – Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology.
    Created in 1976 by President Ford

    Regulatory Czar – Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
    Created in 1980 by President Reagan

    Oh I know... This President is just taking it to a new level. The latest in a line of "leaders" who do not uphold the oath they take.

    From Article 2, Section 2. "...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:"

    A beer? If I can afford a bottle of Patron....


    well, that was informative. I am forcing myself to listen to Keith Olberman...I can't hear him because he's got his head shoved someplace.

    What a bunch of petty b.s., and all about a 10 minute delay!!! Some folks here will scrape the bottom of the barrel for something to complain about!

    I'll give him those 10 minutes. Mr President spent 3 hrs in NY that morning, attending a memorial for Walter Cronkite.

    I wonder how many other big wigs would have even made an appearance there, let alone stay for the duration, if faced with the prep and rehearsal that was needed for last night's address??

    Get a life, blue.
