BO has appointed several "czars" to "advise" him on issues. They answer to no-one except him. I realize that isn't a problem with some people - but it ought to be. The power these folks hold in their hands is not good - not in a Republic.

Color of Change has recently called for a boycott of Glenn Beck - and it has been shown that they have (no surprise) misrepresented companies as boycotting Beck when they are not. Here's some information about Van Jones, co-founder of Color of Change. This is not good, folks!!!

Perhaps this kind of stuff is why they want to boycott Beck!!

That is really nothing new, Through out the year all of the presidents cabinet members answer only to them. For instants, Karl Rove was Presidents Bush's advisor, he only answer to President Bush.

So in this front President Obama is doing nothing different than any other president.

So why is it all of a sudden a concern, its always been this way, the president needs such people for surely we all can understand President Obama or any other president needs these people for he can not be everywhere looking at everything.

My problem is using the word czar, for we're not a dictator government and he is not a dictator. Use of that word makes me think that is what he wants to be and or thinks he is.

Actually, what BO is doing is new. He is creating new "offices." And using radicals to staff them. And tax dollars to pay them.

Yes, it isn't his having advisors that is the problem.........you hit the nail right on the head, HC.

Another point, so has past presidents.

Keep in mind I don't think he is a good president, I think he is harmful to our country. But we need to focus on that, not something he is doing that other president have done and has the right to do by being elected president.

Show me which past presidents have done what BO has done, Jerry. And this is part of what makes him a poor president. He is surrounding himself with people who want to destroy what is left of America. Did you watch either video? Did you see where Van Jones said he was an African? Not African-American (which is ridiculous anyway) but African.

He has NO right to appoint these type of people, to give them the kind of power they have been given, and to pay them from the taxpayer's pockets. The American people need to be made aware of what is going on. And just accepting it, except for the name by which they are called, is apathetic and harmful to this country.

Power, the only power they have is that which has and they're working under his power.

Just as Karl Rove did, remember they tried to get to Karl, but had to go thru President Bush.

LuAnne, You have to calm down.......All the recent presidents have done this type of thing, probably since FDR.

True, as I said, I am not a fan of President Obama, but we have to stay on issue and not beat him up on things that has been done for years by other presidents. It want help the cause.

To be honest, I think some hates him because of his color, and please, I am not saying anyone here does.

As for me I don't like him because of the way he is doing things, I think its the wrong direction, the wrong plan.

I'm calm! Believe me I am. But the presidents have not created these kinds of offices and given them so much power. You say probably since FDR - can you give examples?

Yes, Jerry, there are people who don't like him because he's black. But the greater majority of people who are getting fed up with what he is doing are fed up because of his actions, not his heritage.
