The Obama Czars exist to do Obama’s job. They are also there to deflect blame into the warren of unaccountable bureaucrats that have exploded around the Czars and cabinet agencies. Bureaucrats are as nameless and faceless as the people whose lives they try to direct without fear of reprisal. Bureaucrats don’t stand for re-election, nor do Czars. And when trouble hits, the “elected” officials just shuffle the deck. You are told it’s been taken care of but nothign really changes except that elections really will no longer matter.
So when Obama said he’d consider creating a new cabinet position entitled Secretary of Business, our expectations for Obama are once more met. That’s not his job. He’s too busy playing golf and running for office again. And if you keep thinking it is his job, well how about another billion dollar taxpayer funded bureaucracy run by the Secretary of Business to absorb the blame. Not Obama’s fault. But he promises he’ll look into it.
And what? Create another taxpayer funded bureaucrat or Czar or bureaucracy, or Blue ribbon panel to ignore as another firewall to protect him?
