Sandy Berry
August 3, 2009, 6:07pm (report abuse)Yeah for support of this bill! All these Czars are crazy, just like their boss. Most of them have whacko socialist ideas & will help to ruin this country if we don't stop them.

Confirmed communists, slum lords and lawyers who want to give natural objects and animals standing in our courts?! It's like the Dirty Dozen meets the Looney Bin!
If they are 'special advisors' to the President then let him pay their salary. It's a sad day when even Communist China warns that Obama's plans for Big government will be disastrous:

Dear Mr. President, you can't be for Big Gov. and Big Business and still be for the little guy!

September 12, 2009, 12:49am (report abuse)I don't get it. Why is this a problem just now? Obama has only 31 so-called 'czars' and Bush had 35. Yet somehow this was never an issue during the 8 years of the Bush administration. It's hard to see bringing this up now as anything other than a hypocritical political attack.
Want to get rid of the 'czar' positions? How about we start with the Drug czar, a position created by Richard Nixon. Let's get rid of the "Abstinence czar", a position created by G.W. Bush. Definitely lets get rid of the "Birth Control czar", another Bush created position. And I'll be the first to get behind getting rid of the "Faith-Based czar", yet another ridiculous Bush created position.
So, let's give credit where credit is due. "Big Government" opponents need to credit Obama with *reducing* the number of "czars" compared to the Bush administration. The evidence shows that the Republican party is the party of big government.
Supporting this bill is hypocrisy in the extreme.
