Electing the Unelectable

People have been talking about the Czars that President Obama has been appointing a lot lately. In a town hall meeting yesterday, Senator McCain was asked a question about them. He said they were a clear play to circumvent the Congress. He hinted at the possibility that there might be some legislation addressing this issue once the Congress reconvenes. I hope so.


This whole thing has bugged me and I could not figure out why until Glenn Beck pointed out that these positions white wash these radicals.(Not his words, mine.) By giving them a position in the White House, they can for the rest of their lives put on their resume, I worked in the White House for the President of the United States.

My concern is that these people could not get elected dog catcher any where. Some who are felons, could not even vote. Some are very young but now have a leg up on the competition because who else in the world at age 33, 27, or 34 is running a program where they are in charge of the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars, making policy about the role of religion (or at least certain religions) and government, or running America or keeping America's cyber world secure?

Is this also planting the seeds for other candidates to follow Obama? Does he see himself as a martyr, being so radical as to only be a one term president but because of his "vision for America", has had long and deep coattails that will help these czars to not only further their agendas but legitimize them and thus thrust them into the political field? Is that why he acts as if he could care less about those who oppose him and calls them racists? Will the anger that ensures, fed by these radicals, when "Racist Americans" can only tolerate a socialist black man for one term, elevate one of these czars to take his place, bypassing the usual channels of political escalation? These are my questions and only time will tell how this whole thing plays out.
