Judicial Watch: Find out exactly what these Czars are up to

Czars. The word reminds me of pre-communist Russia Tsars. So should we be concerned that comrade Obama has appointed 39 Czars? Absolutely, as outlined in this article from Jim Kouri. One only has to be reminded about the Marxist pig, Van Jones who Obama appointed, was forced to step down after he was exposed for what he is; an America hating Marxist. I hope Judicial Watch is successful in exposing many of  these Czars for what they are. No POTUS has abused this privelege like Obama. We should not be surprised. He does not give a rip about following the Constitution. By the way,  Judicial Watch is an excellent site.

'Czar' Investigations Recommended by Legal Group
Jim Kouri

Examiner, Article II section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that:

"The President 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."

However, President Barack Obama has been taking advantage of a recent precedent by appointing government officials who are not subject to Senate approval, according to non-partisan, public-interest group Judicial Watch.

These "czars" have tremendous power to regulate and control enormous parts of the American economy and government. And, as powerful as these czars are, some of them may not have even been subjected to a basic FBI background check.

This has allowed Obama to appoint several people with radical left-wing views, including one who supported the "9/11 truthers" movement (which believes the Bush administration may have been behind the 9/11 terror attacks on America) and another who called for "white people" to be removed from powerful positions in the media to make way for "people of color" and gays and voiced support for virulently anti-American Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

These czars have responsibilities that include managing America's Middle Eastern policy, "diversity," the auto industry, science, so-called climate change, "safe schools," health care and even the dispersal of funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

Judicial Watch is concerned that some of these czar appointments raise significant constitutional questions. Our goal is to find out exactly what these czars are up to, what their missions are, and how much taxpayer money and government personnel they have at their disposal.

Last Month, Judicial Watch, announced today that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama Treasury Department to obtain documents regarding meetings involving Kenneth Feinberg, special master for executive compensation under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP); AIG Chairman Robert Benmosche; and New York Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley.

Feinberg, also known as the Obama administration's "pay czar," is the federal official responsible for setting compensation guidelines for the seven largest firms, including AIG, using funds from TARP.

In that effort, Judicial Watch has filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and document requests for all 39 of the czars that Obama has appointed so far. Several of these investigations have already resulted in lawsuits due to the Obama Administration's stonewalling with regard to the release of relevant documents. Judicial Watch has also been key in publicizing the connections some of Obama's czars have had to radical, racist and even communist organizations.
