Congressman wants Obama’s czars to testify in front on Congress

  In the cases of John Holdren and Van Jones we have seen two examples of Barack Obama sidestepping the senate confirmation process in order to appoint radical advisers, otherwise known as czars, to his cabinet. He has done this intentionally because these people would have never made it through the confirmation process. And he has done this while he still hasn’t fully staffed his cabinet in the traditional way. Hell, we are being led to believe that the swine flu will be the next big crisis yet the surgeon general position still hasn’t been filled.

  John Holdren and Van Jones are two examples of the type of people who Barack Obama has managed to appoint to his cabinet under the cover of night without any inquiry into who these people are and what  responsibilities they actually have. But they are only two examples, Barack Obama has already appointed 30 czars and nobody really knows who they are, what they are responsible for, or what they believe in.

  Barack Obama in effect has created a shadow government probably filled with radicals and we are left to wonder who is actually advising the president. I am not alone in wondering what the hell is going on in this administration behind the scenes but until now nobody in government has questioned what Obama is doing with all of these unconfirmed czars.

  That has changed however as we finally have seen at least one congressman step up to the plate and demand an investigation into Obama’s czarships. Rep. Patrick McHenry is calling for Obama’s czars to testify in front of congress about what their responsibilities are.

If the czars have high-level, decision-making authority as their titles would indicate, then it is my concern that their appointment without Senate approval represents a circumvention of our Constitutionally-mandated confirmation process

  That is the real concern here; we don’t know what responsibilities any of these czars have. Technically they are only supposed to be advisers to the president but we just don’t know. In the wake of Van Jones’s resignation and the radical views of John Holdren and Cass Sunstein I believe that a senate investigation is necessary. Barack Obama, much as he has done throughout his entire life, has surrounded himself with radicals and we need to find out what the role of these czars really is.

  If these czars have responsibilities in addition to advising the president than the president has sidestepped the constitution but even if their only responsibility is advising the president the American people need to learn exactly what type of radical the president is receiving advise from.

  The American people deserve to know who is in this president’s cabinet and the only way that we can find out is by investigating these czars and forcing them to testify in front of the senate.
