House Republicans introduced a bill today to eliminate Obama’s 39 czars.
The Hill reported:

A group of House Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday to rein in the various “czars” in the Obama administration.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and 28 other House Republicans introduced legislation to do away with the informal, paid advisers President Obama has employed over the past two years.

The legislation, which was introduced in the last Congress but was not allowed to advance under Democratic control, would do away with the 39 czars Obama has employed during his administration.

The bill defines a czar as “a head of any task force, council, policy office within the Executive Office of the President, or similar office established by or at the direction of the President” who is appointed to a position that would otherwise require Senate confirmation.

    Right on! I had my doubts but I am liking what I’m hearing from the New Republican Party. Keep the heat coming non-stop even if it fails, even if the media hates it, keep it coming!

    Great start!
    I’d also like to see something done about completing Obama’s vetting. Seems there’s still lots and lots of info missing about His Highness, The Potentator.

    Yes! Get back to the Constitution.

    They can’t move fast enough. Go go go go go!

    ps:

    We should all copy Jeffery’s list and e-mail it to everyone we know. It looks like a JOKE, the list is so absurd!

    Jeffery commented:

    Sally,

    I made a mistake. That is the a list of George W. Bush’s czars. Obama only has 32. Sorry.

    Any doubt about where a huge part of his $800,000,000,000 (that’s 800 billion I think) slush fund went.

    Thank you, Jeffery… showing everyone that politicians on both side of the aisle cannot be trusted… at least the Republican Party is finally LISTENING to the American people!!

    Keep it up!!

    Btw…

    When is Maxine Waters going to be tried? Now that we have real people running the congress, it would seem like a good time to send the bag-woman packing!

    Somewhat Reasonable Voice commented:

    Ha! Bush’s or Obama’s doesn’t matter does it? Get rid of them.
    By the way, can we knock off this attitude that if Bush did something wrong we can’t hold Obama accountable for doing the same thing? This is a progressives first refuge. You say to a liberal “Obama murdered 12 people in cold blood!”. They say “Bush murdered some too!” So I guess it’s ok then?
    How far back do we go with this? “Obama did …….” “Oh yeah! well Teddy Roosevelt did too!”

    FedUp commented:

    Can we also get rid of some of Michelle’s aids – obviously they’re not doing her a darn bit of good!

    At the very least, stop paying the czars – if they want to advise, they can do it FOR FREE!

  13. #13 January 6, 2011 at 4:43 pm

    Jeffery commented:

    This begs the question. Since Bush had more czars, why when the Republicans controlled the house, didn’t they vote to eliminate those czars? Perhaps they recognized that Mr. Bush appointed better czars. Why didn’t those petty Dems try to eliminate the Bush czars? Puzzling.

  14. #14 January 6, 2011 at 4:44 pm

    Sally commented:

    Actually, I read your list further, Jeffrey and it includes some Bush people (Karen Hughes, Mitch Daniels, Tom Ridge, Michael Chernoff.. )

    What about the Obama Czars?

  15. #15 January 6, 2011 at 4:46 pm

    Jeffery commented:

    So only Democratic appointees are bad for the nation. LOL. Sounds like Republican hypocrisy to me. Figures.

    And what’s wrong with having these appointees anyway?

    Chisum commented:

    So Jeffery,

    You beclown yourself in one (or more) threads so you come to a new one?

    Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Your shtick is becoming tiresome….again.

    BillyBobHasHadEnuff commented:

    Hooray ……… that’s a start. Do away with all of them and/or FORCE THEM to appear before Congress to explain just who they are and what they do on behalf of our beloved comrade president.

    Next, de-fund the Office of the First Missus (if there is such a thing) and her 24+ paid servants to the tune of $175k per annum per servant.

    Isn’t Jefferey being what some call a “concern troll”? Feigning sympathy to a given point of view, then — “Gotcha !!” ?
