Obama Czars

It's Official: Obama creates more czars than the Romanovs
from Foreign Policy by David J. Rothkopf

Thu, 04/16/2009

It has finally happened. With yesterday's naming of Border Czar Alan Bersin, the Obama administration has by any reasonable reckoning passed the Romanov Dynasty in the production of czars. The Romanovs ruled Russia from 1613 with the ascension of Michael I through the abdication of Czar Nicholas II in 1917. During that time, they produced 18 czars. While it is harder to exactly count the number of Obama administration czars, with yesterday's appointment it seems fair to say it is now certainly in excess of 18.

In addition to Bersin, we have energy czar Carol Browner, urban czar Adolfo Carrion, Jr., infotech czar Vivek Kundra, faith-based czar Joshua DuBois, health reform czar Nancy-Ann DeParle, new TARP czar Herb Allison, stimulus accountability czar Earl Devaney, non-proliferation czar Gary Samore, terrorism czar John Brennan, regulatory czar Cass Sunstein, drug czar Gil Kerlikowske, and Guantanamo closure czar Daniel Fried. We also have a host of special envoys that fall into the czar category including AfPak special envoy Richard Holbrooke, Mideast peace envoy George Mitchell, special advisor for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia Dennis Ross, Sudan special envoy J. Scott Gration and climate special envoy Todd Stern. That's 18.

I predict the Campaigner in Chief will have more Czars than this. Since there is so much he knows that isn't so and the Libs are willing to sacrifice their responsibility and ignore The Constitution, he will continue to appoint lobbyist to head his fund raisers from as many sectors as possible to create and secure the Obama Dynasty.

Health Czar DeParle

Politico

The disclosure statement filed by White House health czar Nancy-Ann DeParle, released this week, shows that from the start of last year until her appointment this March, she pulled in more than $2.3 million from her positions on the boards of six firms likely to be significantly affected by the health care reforms that she’s championing.

And in 2006 and 2007, DeParle earned at least $3.5 million from director’s fees and stock sales and awards from health care firms, according to a Chicago Tribune analysis of securities

filings.

In the days after her appointment, she stepped down from the corporate boards of Cerner, Medco Health Solutions, Boston Scientific, CareMore Health Plan and Legacy Hospital Partners, as well as from her post as managing director of a private equity firm that controlled some of those companies and a variety of other health care firms, according to the White House filing, which also shows that she resigned last July from the board of DaVita.

Is Obama Guilty of Treason?

Or is Commander Fitzpatrick III Guilty of Mutiny?

JB Williams Bio

By JB Williams Wednesday, June 10, 2009

There’s nothing at all ambiguous about this statement. The basis upon which Commander Fitzpatrick makes his charge is equally straight forward.

- “you [Mr. Obama] have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling, and deceit. Posing as an imposter president and commander in chief, you have stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors --command racketeers --are now free in the exercise of military government intent upon destruction of America’s constitutional government.”

You can read THE OBAMA FEDERAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT in its entirely at Commander Fitzpatrick’s blog site, The JAG Hunter...Dauntless and unafraid! - where you can also find additional follow-up information.

* Obama Kingdom Series

Starting with this posting I have initiated a New Series called the Obama Kingdom Series designated in this blog with a * in the title.

It all began a little over a month ago when a Mallard Duck Family moved into my local neighborhood. At the time there was just an occasional Father (in the pool), a Mother to be (nesting right of male just behind deck) , and some of their friends. At first I thought it was going to be a refreshing break from the Political Correct issues we have been exposed to since Obama became Campaigner in Chief after forcing out his competition for Senate and being installed as a Senator to fund his career of campaigning to be selected the Messiah in the 2008 election.

Since I had equivalent duck raising experience once before, I considered myself the Authority in raising ducks much the same as Obama is the Authority in running a country, which is where the similarity with Obama began to click and I said to myself, Myself why don't you just impose Obama policies on these ducks. My qualifying duck experience started about this same time in 2002. We started with a mother Mallard, nine eggs, and progressed over 3 months to 7 newly grown ducks. Of course the irresponsible drake had assisted in the creation of the fertilized eggs. Much like the males in Obama's society today, the males don't particiapate in nurting the young.

So as a result of these similarities between Obama's experience running a country and my experience raising ducks, I decided to create an Obama Kingdom in my own back yard which would utilize Obama techniques. Instead of the Messiah of the country, I would become the Messiah to these ducks and apply the same principles to these ducks as much as possible as the priciples and philosophy Obama has implemente for his Kingdom.

When you think about it there are a lot of similar principles and regulations that these ducks will grow to appreciate. If they are given the chance to benefit of my widsom and experience similar to our benefiting from Obama's widom and experience, these new Subjects will realize and begin the unification of all the creatures in nature. They too will be pioneers and no longer look at other creatures as predators and different from themselve. Of course they may have to sacrifice, but that is what Obama Subjects in his Kingdom are expected to do also.

The fundamental governing rules that we are sworn to are the Consitution and Bill of Rights for Obama's Kingdom, and the Laws of Nature for the Ducks in My Kingdom. Realizing that both of these are old and outdated, we will only give lip service to their adhearance and will proceed to refer to them when beneficial, but we will taylor the merrits of enforcement based on our experience and infinite wisdom.

Like Obama, I realized early on that sexual discrimination and parental responsibility were going to be key issues for ducklings. I started preparing my campaign for selection as Messiah when the duklings were old enough to choose me. Knowing that new ducklings wouldn't have time to form negative bias, it would be best for them to select their leader in this democratic process at that time. It was aparant that would be a good time to have the selection process when their minds are fresh and they would consider change more readily. Especially if I featured age discrimination and anticipated the vote disparity this would give me a big advantage, which is another Obama technique I would use.
