Yes, the exit polling absolutely verified this wasn't a referendum on Obama. The party chair and every Republican talking head also said as much.

Democrats can't afford to ignore this, but it wasn't some kinda of message to Obama either. At least not yet. This had everything to do with Deeds and the type of campaign he ran.

Bud, chill out with all the partisan crap. Nixon was the first to create the post of Energy Czar, Ronald Wilson Reagan had more than Nixon, and Bush I had more Czars in his cabinet than Obama does now. I hate to break the bad news to you but we're not going to turn into Russia and Obama didn't invent the word Czar. So give it a rest.

I'm waiting to see the link posting which president originated the post to begin with. Obama's so called Czars don't have anymore authority than any of the previous admistration appointments. In fact, they are probably operating under more transparency and scrutiny than those proceeding them. It's funny how the word Czar suddenly became a part of Republican vocabulary on Jan. 20th, 2009. But whatever.

Why am I up discussing politics this time of the morning?

Good morning, Dmek!

The gov't caused the problem ... CRA's , Subprime lending , Gramm-bliley act < eliminated Glass-steagal > , and eliminating regulation of derivates < Clinton - 2000 > . All of this is in the links provided , either takethe time to read the links , do some research if you do not trust what you see . If you and the others cannot dipute the info , why keep making a reply based on your emotions ? Show me where any info I posted is not accurate or false . I'am not worried about how the Obama Admin. is going to hurt me , I'm fine , I can make money and invest and grow it ... I do worry about my fellow Americans who will struggle to live with the ability to pursue the right to happiness, peace and prosperity and the American dream . Time to go out and enjoy the nice weather , later .

12th good morning. and did you behave your self last night? i haven't checked the drunk thread yet

Ronald Reagan appointed the first "Drug Czar". The czar program has been with us ever since. [B]Czars have no executive powers. They only act as advisors to the President
this was taken from wikpedia

Donald E. Powell.
Bush’s Czar to Rebuild Gulf Coast

John P. Walters.
Bush's Drug Czar

Karen Hughes.
Bush's Public Diplomacy Czar

Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute.
Bush's 'War Czar'

Randall Tobias.
Bush's AIDS Czar

Dr. Mark Dybul.
Bush's other AIDS Czar

Richard Stickler.
Bush's Mine Safety Czar

John Negroponte.
Bush's Intelligence Czar

Otto Reich.
Bush's Latin America czar

Carlton Turner.
Reagan's Drug Czar

David Stockman
Reagan's Budget Czar

There are more. I just got tired of posting them.
