List of Obama’s Czars

Friday, Aug 21, 2009 at 5:26 AM EST

As of July 20, 2009:

• The Brainroom counts 32 czars in the Obama administration, based on media reports from reputable sources that have identified the official in question as a czar.

• In addition, President Obama has said that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring the total to 35.

• Since czar isn’t an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder.

Previous administrations had 7 of those identified. Cannot imagine why we need 30+ czars in addition to all of the cabinet and department heads. What a waste of our taxes.

We neeed to get rid of this high ego over spending without any achievements to date.
