That's the regulatory guy that made it tough on businesses.

Like the Economic guys (meant non gender specifically), he's going back to academia.

He was a lightning rod of extremism for this administration. His policies and tactics will remain in place for Obama's shadow government even though he is being re-located. It would be a mistake to assume he will not remain a political advisor to Obama behind the curtain.

So off he goes to the University system to indoctrinate more young Communists.

Not a single economic mind in Obama's economics brain trust - hesitated to type those last two words - has any been there, done that, real world experience. Sort of like the lecturer-in-chief. Is it any wonder the recovery has left the patient still in the ICU, with a guarded prognosis?

Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, echoing Van Jones on "environmental justice," argues it is "desirable" to redistribute America's wealth to poorer nations. According to Sunstein, global climate change is primarily the fault of U.S. environmental behavior and should, therefore, be used as a mechanism to redistribute the country's wealth.

The Obama czar penned a 2007 University of Chicago Law School paper in which he argued America should pay "justice" to the world by entering into a compensation agreement that would be a net financial loss for the U.S. Sunstein heavily leans on the side of such an agreement, particularly a worldwide carbon tax that would heavily tariff the U.S.

A prominent theme throughout Sunstein's 39-page paper, entitled "Climate Change Justice," maintains U.S. wealth should be redistributed to poorer nations. He uses terms such as "distributive justice" several times. The paper was written with fellow attorney Eric A. Posner

Oh come on. Anyone who knows anything about presidential cycles knows that people begin to leave an administration during the last few months. It happens every four years, regardless of who is president.
