		<description>Another day......another Czar
The Boston Herald asks:  Do you know how many czars have been appointed by the Obama administration? 33 

Congressional Democrats want another one to bring the grand total to 34.  This new czar would oversee health insurance. 

According to the AP the responsibilities for this new czar would include &quot;determining who qualifies for federal subsidies to help buy coverage, setting standards for handling grievances and appeals for claims denied, determining plan benefits for each year, policing insurance marketing campaigns, and enforcing a requirement that the insurers spend on medical care at least 85% of what they collect in premiums.&quot;

There are several problems with adding a new czar to the federal government.  First, states already have insurance commissioners who protect consumers.  This would be a duplication of effort.

Second, these czars are being granted sweeping new powers and yet none of them have gone through a confirmation process.  The term czar means emperor or king.  So Obama administration has already created 33 kings in the federal government.  They don’t have to report to Congress or a Cabinet Secretary, but yet they have all this power. 

It is time to stop the czarring of our government.  This is the United States not Russia.</description>

		<description>ONE MORE COMMUNIST......

Obama&#039;s newly appointed &quot;Green&quot; Czar, was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader. 

Van Jones, president and founder of Green For All, a nonprofit organization that advocates for building a so-called inclusive green economy, has been tapped to serve as the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality.  According to the White House blog, Jones&#039; duties will include helping to craft job-generating climate policy and ensuring equal opportunity in the administration&#039;s energy proposals.

While in jail in San Francisco in 1992, Jones said, &quot;I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists.  And it was, like, &#039;This is what I need to be a part of.&#039; I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.  In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo.  I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,&quot; he said.  &quot;By August, I was a communist.&quot;

Jones, formerly a self-described &quot;rowdy black nationalist,&quot; boasted in a 2005 interview that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class &quot;justice.&quot; 

&quot;I&#039;ll work with anybody.  I&#039;ll fight anybody if it will push our issues forward,&quot; he told the left-leaning East Bay Express in a 2005 interview.  &quot;I&#039;m willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.&quot;</description>
