Czars...what you should know

CZARS: What are they? Who are they?

In a nutshell, Czars are people in high level positions that are appointed through presidential executive orders that require no Senate approval (Cass Sunstein is the exception). The Senate does not review them, no questions, no background checks, no vetting process. As of today, there are approximately 33 "czars" (also referred to as Special Advisors) working for Obama. The czars work behind the scenes, "the shadow government", and are not accountable to Congress. Past presidents have appointed Czars, but never as many as our current president. (Note: Obama's key Czars all have Cabinet counterparts already in place.)

Czars do not need to represent the views of the American people since they are not approved. They may reflect your opinions, or they may not. They may love the Constitution or they may define themselves as a Communist follower. Van Jones the appointed "Green Czar" resigned after videos of his radical views began circulating on the news. This was just one appointed "czar" out of many, and many have radical views.

The question becomes who is making policy decisions?

The problem is these people need to be held accountable for their decisions.

Why are citizens concerned over Obama's choices? Because his czars play by different rules and have different ethics from the constitution.
