bonnie Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/09/czar-backlash-builds-democrat-calls-for-removal/ Washington is waking up. Via the Tulsa World, Democrat Rep. Dan Boren wants the removal of all czars who have evaded the confirmation process — also expresses his opposition to Cass Sunstein, Obama’s regulatory czar nominee (who is subject to confirmation hearings): U.S. Rep. Dan Boren said Congress should use the power of the purse to push the Obama administration to remove so-called czars that do not go through a confirmation process. Responding to questions during a telephonic town hall, the Oklahoma Democrat said he was glad Van Jones, who resigned over the weekend as controversy continued to build over past statements, has left his post. Boren joined others in criticizing the growing trend to name czars to lead efforts in specific areas. Such officials do not go through oversight hearings or a confirmation vote in the Senate. Boren referred to them as unelected bureaucrats who do not answer to lawmakers. “It is something I have heard a lot about,’’ he said. Even though such czars do not go through a confirmation process, Boren cited the “authority’’ that came along with the congressional control over the power of the purse. He also singled out Cass Sunstein, who was picked by Obama to be the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget. Boren cited Sunstein’s reported views on animal rights, adding they are out of step with those of Oklahomans. “I don’t believe he should be appointed to anything,’’ Boren said. I think Sunstein is the nutcase that claimed animals were entitled to legal counsel Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

bonnie Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 HEY BONNIE WELL more than just Republicans are coming out against OBAMA so OBAMA may be losing support from many sides dgrimm60 The mainstream news credits or blames republicans for the falling poll numbers. Obama never had the support of conservative republicans. You can't explain his falling numbers by blaming those he never had. It is the more liberal conservatives,independents,and democrats Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Ted Oplinger Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 There's quite a bit of "buyer's remorse" that's beginning to accumulate over Obama. This is well indicated by the increasingly shrill volume and usage of racial smearing against dissenters of Obama. Perhaps the day will come soon when that, too gets swept aside as the too obvious and over-the-top stuff that it is. Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
