KARL ROVE on "CZARS"

One of the latest buzzwords out of the conservative side is "CZAR". It is amazing to me that they want to make an issue of this since it was George W. Bush and Karl Rove that made the use of Czars a science. The following statement is a concise, well documented snippet from Kyle Schmidt.

"It is surprising that Rove finds the appointment of czars to be “a giant expansion of presidential power” because he actually served as the “domestic policy czar” in the Bush White House. In fact, President Bush himself appointed numerous czars in order to deal with various public crises and controversies, including a “cybersecurity czar,” “regulatory czar,” “AIDS czar,” “bird-flu czar” and “Katrina czar.” Moreover, Rove’s criticism of Obama is ironic, given his role in an administration that was marked by the expansion of executive power."
