One Lucianne commenter wondered if Obama also has a Shoe Tying Czar, and a Chew Gum While Walking Czar.

It’s easy to appoint Czars. Unlike cabinet members and other high officials, Obama’s so-called Czars do not need Senate confirmation or security background checks. He simply appoints them and they form his “executive committee” much like the Politburo of the Communist Party which had real control of the country.

During past administrations the president would have a daily meeting with Cabinet Secretaries, who have been duly confirmed by the Senate. After listening to their recommendations the president would make policy decisions. No need for 31 Czars.
