It's a fact of life in American Presidencies... If Obama needs more Czars so be it. Given the mess that the previous Administration left it is understandable. Actually I welcome oversight...
Reagan signed the bill creating "czars". He had two czars, regulatory and Pentagon procurement czar. Bush 41 had one. Clinton had 9. Bush 43 had 12. And to date, President Obama has more than 60.
Come on, Dukester. I watched the clip, and she posed a question to the correspondent. I realize that questioning is seen as an attack by many Obama supporters, but she was asking a fair question that gave the correspondent the opportunity to give his response. It was never a Fox News attack. She relayed a question that many have asked, and a Fox News correspondent gave a fair response. Get over it, or at least do some thinking about what Fox News accusations you post.
Maybe if she did some research of the topic of Czars as a lot journalist do on the subject at hand she would have never asked the question?

does dukester agree with these numbers? i havent seen them before but if he agreed that they were correct he would have to admit, thats a lot of czars. of course, he would say they are needed because of all the bad stuff bush did.

Really surprised Reagan had any Czars as we all know how he was against oversight and regulation of any kind. Did the previous administrations sign a stimulus package worth 800 billion? Don't think so... Obama has assigned Czars for the oversight of the stimulus to eliminate the possibility for fraud. Something that Bush and his buddy Hank Paulson did not...

It was an interview with the person that had done the research, one of their correspondents. Do other news sources not do this? Of course they do. One person can not do all the research on all topics, and then come give a monologue for the news.
You're presenting a situation where they defended Obama against some concerns raised as evidence of their being a right wing propaganda network. Give it some thought.

I don't think many people content the use of Czars, the Presidency is a very tough position and some help is needed. I think the right has mounted an attack at the number. Having that many fingers to provide oversight that answers only to the President...it's eerie to think how our leader favors that style over the traditional democractic one.

I'll eat human waste if all 800 billion gets out without any corrupt spending, hopefully his czar can do damage control, but our government has a pretty bad track record.

What's mind boggling is that the question was so blatant! Czars, c'mon. I have seen Matt Lauer interview Coulter on the "Today Show" and he even comes prepared in his questioning so he doesn't look like a unprepared journalist.
the 800 billion is for corrupt spending, 100% of it. so no point in having oversight.
