It's a lack of education, just like throwing the term "Socialism" around without having a clue of what it means. They aren't interested in accuracy though, just buzz words meant to frighten their base.

Ha ha. Obama's default is to appoint another Czar! And yes, we know what a czar is. But no leader in our history has ever taken to appointing czars when they don't know how to act. Yes, another unelected beurocrat just what we need. I think it shows a lack of not only experience but imagination on Obama's part.

Didn't obama promise a million or so new jobs? How better for a President to create jobs than to expand the government workforce?
His 50 million plus in earnings last year sure didn't create any jobs!

What Obama needs is a Presidential Czar so he can have someone in charge while he is playing golf, acting like a movie star, and salving his ego.

Do you people get that Obama just squeezed $20 billion out of them without having to take them to court or having any legal handle to make them do it?

Are you the same people who are blaming Obama for all the economic losses and cleanup costs?

What's this Czar's proper title? Oil Spill Czar? I guess to go along with his Car Czar, Climate Czar, Drug Czar, Water Czar, Border Czar, AIDS Czar. What's next? The Gummy Bear Czar perhaps?

He appointed the Pay Czar to handle the payment of those damaged by the spill. He says that this man, who is his appointed czar will be the disinterested third party he talks about. He belongs to Obama and yet is supposed to handle this like he didn't. Anybody who believes this is too simple for me to talk with. How can a man belong to somebody and then manage that kind of money without doing what the boss wants?

My father in law thinks Obama walks on water, that he can do no wrong and if you disagree with what he does, he is the first to cry the color of Obamas skin.

We were out to dinner last night and he was outraged that the CEO of BP was at a Yacht race during all of this. I normally keep my mouth shut to keep peace and my wife grabed leg to make me keep quiet, but blurtted out....Yeah, kinda like Obama out playing his 7th round of golf now since this disaster.

It was kind of funny watching the steam come out of his head saying I guess its his fault this happened. I then excused myself and went to the restroom to let him stew in his own ignorance.
