List of President Obama's 'Czars'

Hat tip to POLITICO.com for the current list of White House Czars. I'm thinking citizen journalists, bloggers, talkers and reconnoiters of all sorts might want to pick and choose their favorite Czar and do some vetting of our own. Here's the list. We need to go to work to see from whence they came:
Afghanistan Czar: Richard Holbrooke

AIDS Czar: Jeffrey Crowley

Auto recovery Czar: Ed Montgomery

Border Czar: Alan Bersin

California Water Czar: David J. Hayes

Car Czar: Ron Bloom

Central Region Czar: Dennis Ross

Domestic Violence Czar: Lynn Rosenthal

Drug Czar: Gil Kerlikowske

Economic Czar: Paul Volcker

Energy and Environment Czar: Carol Brower

Faith-Based Czar: Joshua DuBois

Great Lakes Czar: Cameron Davis

Green Jobs Czar: Van Jones (Bye bye!)

Guantanamo Closure Czar: Daniel Fried

Health Czar: Nancy-Ann DeParle

Information Czar: Vivek Kundra

International Climate Czar: Todd Stern

Intelligence Czar: Dennis Blair

Mideast Peace Czar: George Mitchell

Pay Czar: Kenneth Feinberg

Regulatory Czar: Cass Sunstein

Science Czar: John Holdren

Stimulus Accountability Czar: Earl Devaney

Sudan Czar: J. Scott Gration

TARP Czar: Herb Allison

Terrorism Czar: John Brennan

Technology Czar: Aneesh Chopra

Urban Affairs Czar: Adolfo Carrion Jr.

Weapons Czar: Ashton Carter

WMD Policy Czar: Gary Samore

The republicans in Congress, regardless of their numbers, need to be vociferously questioning the constitutionality of these Czars who are acting above and beyond the checks and balances of the other branches of government. The republicans need to have a lot more of the outrage that the New Media, the town hall meeting attendees and the Tea Party people are exhibiting from coast to coast.

Wake up, Congress! Americans are getting fed up with what we're seeing and with what we're NOT seeing!
