			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Olympic Czars of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey was very short-lived to say the least. Once again, Barack Obama has failed to follow through by not bringing back the 2016 Olympics for his adopted hometown of Chicago. Barack Obama will probably continue to have the support of Chicago constituents and politicians, but this failure underscores how people thought they were getting more substance when they cast their vote in 2008.</p>
<div id="attachment_135" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-135" title="Barack, Michelle and Oprah" src="http://www.meettheczars.com/uploads/2009/10/BarackMichelleOprah-300x243.jpg" alt="Barack, Michelle and Oprah" width="300" height="243" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Barack, Michelle and Oprah</p></div>
<p>This was supposed to be a post-racial, post-partisan president who would unite the United States of America with the rest of the world. He has failed to be post-racial (the beer summit with Skip Gates and Officer Crowley is a great example), failed to be post-partisan (blaming the Republicans for the health care debate when has Democratic majorities in Congress and can&#8217;t get enough Democrats to support the plan), and has failed to reunite the rest of the world with the United States (there are several, but one being the 2016 Olympics).</p>
<p>President Obama shouldn&#8217;t get all the blame for the Olympics fiasco, but the fact that he made such a large effort by bringing himself, Michelle Obama and even Oprah all the way across the Atlantic to lobby for the Olympics and they failed, should concern the American people when he starts to negotiate more important things like health care, and the pressure cookers of Iran and North Korea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who is trying to suppress what is going on in our public elementary schools? The original video of the kids singing for President Obama and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zrsl8o4ZPo&amp;feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">higher quality video</a> have been removed by YouTube because of &#8220;terms of use violation&#8221;s. It is necessary to post another video of the frightening episode in our public school systems. For everyone wondering, the school is in Burlington New Jersey and is the <a href="http://www.burltwpsch.org/schools/ys/" target="_blank">B. Bernice Elementary School</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">According to <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090926/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_school_song" target="_blank">this AP article</a>, the teacher who directed the song retired at the end of the year. Perhaps she is going to work for the Barack Obama Administration in another capacity&#8230;she would be a great candidate as a new Lyrical Indoctrination Czar.</p>

<p>Lyrics of Songs</p>
<blockquote><p>Song 1:<br />

Barack Hussein Obama</p>
<p>He said that all must lend a hand<br />
To make this country strong again<br />

<p>He said we must be fair today<br />
Equal work means equal pay<br />

To make sure everyone gets a chance<br />
Mmm, mmm, mm!<br />
Barack Hussein Obama</p>
<p>He said red, yellow, black or white<br />
All are equal in his sight<br />
Mmm, mmm, mm!<br />
Barack Hussein Obama</p>
<p>Yes!<br />
Mmm, mmm, mm<br />
Barack Hussein Obama</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Song 2:<br />
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!<br />
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say &#8220;hooray!&#8221;</p>
<p>Hooray, Mr. President! You&#8217;re number one!<br />
The first black American to lead this great nation!</p>
<p>Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans<br />
To make this country&#8217;s economy number one again!</p>
<p>Hooray Mr. President, we&#8217;re really proud of you!<br />
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!</p>
<p>So continue &#8212;- Mr. President we know you&#8217;ll do the trick<br />
So here&#8217;s a hearty hip-hooray &#8212;-</p>
<p>Hip, hip hooray!<br />

Hip, hip hooray! </p></blockquote>

<p>Meet the FCC Diversity Czar Mark Lloyd. From making statements about the media, the Pope to the war in Iraq. At the least, this is a good summary video of how Barack Obama was elected to the office by the assistance of the mainstream media&#8217;s negligence to actually do their jobs.</p>
<p>According to Mark Lloyd&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;News isn&#8217;t even really what it was when I was working with CNN in the late 1990&#8217;s. News is unfortunately more and more about just commenting on the passing parade and reading news releases as they come out [laughter] it&#8217;s hardly trying to put the pieces together of what&#8217;s going on and why. It&#8217;s often specualtion about what might happen, about who might win a battle, but it&#8217;s really not so much how this came to be, what are the deeper meanings of what&#8217;s going on here.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Lloyd has some good advice for those finding themselves disagreeing with Barack Obama and his administration.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Too many Americans, too many Americans who have useful important contributions to make to the public debate, have the habit of thinking they don&#8217;t have a real contribution to make. And one of the things I hope this channel [<a href="http://cnsnews.com" target="_blank">CNSNews.com</a>] will do is really aggressively go out and find ways to get those Americans who are silent, to participate, to be heard, to speak up.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="450" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ovnwzMJf09o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ovnwzMJf09o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>Take a look at <a href="http://uselectionatlas.org" target="_blank">Dave Leip&#8217;s Atlas</a> and see where the country seems to be lacking diversity. This is a great resource and you can drill down by state and county levels. It looks like Dave Leip might have to come up with a darker shade of red (yes he uses red for democrats instead of blue) in order to properly reflect the lack of diversity in the major metropolitan areas of the United States. Barack Obama only received 92.46% of the popular vote in Washington D.C., 76.21% of the popular vote in Cook County (Chicago) Illinois, and 73.47% of the popular vote in San Mateo County (San Francisco) California.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hill has an article about Robert Gibbs, the White House &#8216;Press Czar&#8217; himself responding to the critiques of the czars. You can read the <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/59103-wh-responds-to-czar-critiques" target="_blank">whole article</a>, but here are a few excerpts and comments.</p>
<p>&#8216;Press Czar&#8217; Robert Gibbs calls the opposition &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;</p>
<p>The article states&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>The appointed advisers gained increased scrutiny following resignation of former green jobs czar Van Jones after his signature was found on a petition implying the Bush administration played a role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and making other controversial statements.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bulk of the noise you hear began first with partisan commentators, suggesting that this is somehow a new and sinister development that threatens our democracy. This is, of course, ridiculous,&#8221; White House Communications Director Anita Dunn wrote in a <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/The-Truth-About-Czars/" target="_blank">blog post</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just to be clear, the job title &#8216;czar&#8217; doesn’t exist in the Obama Administration,&#8221; Dunn added, referring to the informal term used for the advisers.</p>
<p>Dunn noted that former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush used &#8220;czars&#8221; in their administration.</p>
<p>The administration specifically targeted a letter from Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Lamar Smith&#8217;s (R-Tex.) requesting White House counsel Greg Craig provide information regarding the &#8220;czars&#8217;&#8221; vetting information, pay grade, and responsibilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;But of course, it’s really the hypocrisy here that is noteworthy,&#8221; wrote Dunn, echoing the DNC&#8217;s <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/twitter-room/other-news/59089-dnc-calls-fox-news-an-rnc-arm-" target="_blank">line-of-attack</a> against Issa. &#8220;Just earlier today, Darrell Issa&#8230;had to admit to Fox News that he had never raised any objections to the Bush Administration’s use of &#8216;czars.&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It is not hypocritical of Rep. Issa not to bring up Czars during the administration of George W. Bush or that of Bill Clinton (although Rep. Issa wasn&#8217;t elected until 2000) because they did not utilize czars in the sheer number that Barack Obama has done in less than seven months in office.</p>
<p>Someone should point out to &#8216;Press Czar&#8217; Robert Gibbs that what is ridiculous is the size of the shadow government that Barack Obama is assembling in his administration.</p>

<p>Born September 20, 1968 as Anthony Jones in Jackson, Tennessee</p>
<p>Education: University of Tennessee and Yale Law School</p>
<p>Occupation: Civil Rights, Human Rights and Environmental Activist</p>
<p>Nominated as Green Jobs Czar: March 10, 2009</p>
<p>Status: Resigned, September 6, 2009</p>
<p>Length of Service: 180 days</p>
<p> </p>
<p>President Barack Obama&#8217;s Green Jobs Czar Van Jones tendered his resignation on Sunday, September 6, 2009 as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The text of Van Jones resignation letter:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.</p>
<p>On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.</p>
<p>I have been inundated with calls &#8211; from across the political spectrum &#8211; urging me to &#8220;stay and fight.&#8221;</p>
<p>But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.</p>
<p>It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Van Jones says “I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend previous time and energy defending or explaining my past.” Could he possibly be referring to some of these past statements?</p>
<p>-Signing a petition that said the government was behind 9/11.</p>
<p>-<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4Z0V0zNQg" target="_blank">“Redistribution of all wealth&#8230;”</a></p>
<p>-Calling Republicans a*******</p>
<p>-Etc., etc., etc.</p>
<p>Why did they get rid of him? Perhaps he didn’t pass his FBI background check, perhaps Barack Obama and those in his administration felt Van Jones is even too far-left for them, perhaps his case of Obama fever (as seen in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y92AOxRQtXQ" target="_blank">video</a> at 2:12) got worse, perhaps the swaying public opinion changed their mind, or perhaps they didn’t like him calling Barack Obama, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt66eWnjoTo" target="_blank">“Barack Hussein Obama”.</a></p>
<p>Radio host Michael Savage’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6WMDOu3h3Y&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=8A37245818FD6740&amp;playnext=1&amp;playnext_from=PL&amp;index=33" target="_blank">thoughts</a> on Van Jones.</p>
<p>Now that Van Jones has resigned, will he pack his bags and head out of D.C. on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aYCKfuFI60" target="_blank">peace train</a>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Meet the Czars, the home for the Politburo of the Barack Obama Administration. This blog will introduce you to the unprecedented number of individuals being appointed to serve Barack Obama as policy czars at the White House. Most of these appointments do not require confirmation by the Senate which explains why so many have sketchy backgrounds; the perfect group of individuals to form a shadow government.</p>
<p>So have a discussion, share thoughts and information about the czars of the White House. If you have any comments or suggestions, email <a href="mailto:info@meettheczars.com">info@meettheczars.com</a>.</p>
