The Vail Spot: Mr. Obama's Czars

Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Mr. Obama's Czars

Why does Mr. Obama need 35 Czars. It was 34, until Mr. Obama appointed a new "manufacturing" czar,A former vice president of Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, Bloom was a restructuring expert for the U.S. Steelworkers, not by the way, a MANUFACTURING COMPANY. This man was an investment banker, other than loaning money, what does he know about manufacturing? But I digress.

Why does Mr. Obama need 35 "high level" advisers, who get very little vetting (see the recent resignation of Van Jones), and answer to no-one other than the president. Personally, I see this as a way for Mr. Obama to circumvent the US Constitution and Congress...anyone out there have an opinion?
