Obama's Green Jobs Czar

[LizzieBorden 3]

The word "asshole" is repeated several times in this video. Just a warning if you have a problem with adult language.

If you don't have a problem with the video you need to wake up before it's too late for our country.

I imagine this video will be taken off the site before long.

Ok, so I am an unabashed Obama supporter. Having said that, I am not a fan of this whole “Czar” concept and this should be an impetus to end it. Now to be fair – Obama did not invent the Czar role. Unless I am mistaken, I think it may have been Regan back in the 80’s with the Drug Czar (maybe it was Bush I). In any event, the whole Czar thing needs to be reigned in. We have cabinet level positions for all of these roles and those cabinet officers have a full vetting process and need to be approved by congress, we should stick with that.

The Czar concept actually originated in the Nixon administration.

And it needs to be done away with. At least the name portion. It's stupid, and it provides an unwelcome connotation.

I am NOT an Obama supporter, but I was not a McCain supporter either. I didn't think there was ANYONE in the running last year that actually made sense in this day and age. Actually, there was one person who made a lot of sense, but dropped out early on.

But....business in Washington will continue as usual. Regardless of who is sitting in the Oval office.

Van Jones resigned. But I think because bush's administration failed to provide the proper (any?) oversight to many areas of business and enterprise that Obama is going in the other direction.

As well he should have. Anytime a member of the administration becomes a bigger story than the task at hand, they need to go. The work that Obama needs to accomplish is too big to be weighed down by one guy. I think most people on the President’s staff (this has been true of past administrations as well) know this to be the case. In the last administration, I don’t think Rumsfeld read that memo, he stayed on way too long and damaged his administration and the country.

Agreed w/ both....Rumsfeld and Jones both should have gone sooner than they did.

And I also agree with the "czar concept". All people that have cabinet-level positions should be vetted by the FBI.
