Continuing Czar Corruption

July 19, 2009

The man who promised America “The most ethical administration in history” sure knows how to pick ‘em.

We  reported earlier on the corruption and incompetence of Obama’s Czars,  however it seems like this will prove to be a story that will continue to unfold.

The most recent news regards Car Czar Steve Rattner.

Rattner has been the focus of a long running probe by the Securites and Exchange Commission as well as the Attorney General of the State of New York.

The investigation is focusing on a “pay for play” scheme involving Rattner’s former firm, the Quadrangle Group.Although Rattner has not (yet) been accused of any wrongdoing, two former members of the firm have been indicted on federal corruption charges.

The probe is centered on a 100 million dollar deal Quadrangle made with a state pension fund.

With the American auto industry still teetering on the brink of disaster, it seems a little odd that the man tasked with overseeing it’s rescue would resign of his own accord after less than a year.
Unless he had bigger things (like possibly facing prison time) on his mind.

Congressman James Sesenbrenner is seeking a Congressional investigation of Climate Czar Carol Browner after learning that she demanded that auto industry executives were to keep no records in regards to talks with those same executives regarding new fuel economy (CAFE) standards for American automobiles, as first reported by Michelle Malkin.

Taxpayer funds are being used for these programs, you would think we would be entitled to a record of the proceedings.

That aside, the stringent standards that Browner demands will add hundreds of dollars to the cost of the average American-made vehicle, making them even less desirable to the average consumer.

Green Jobs Czar Van Jones is a  self-proclaimed Communist, and has also spent time in jail.

In a 2005 interview, Van Jones stated “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.”

How is it that I have not seen any media reports regarding the President Of The United States appointing an avowed Communist to a top-level position in his administration?

To come back to Carol Browner for a moment, until she was picked to be Climate Czar, she was one of the 14 leaders of the Socialist organization Commission For A Sustainable World Society.

Hey, let’s give Obama credit where credit is due.

He may be falling flat on his face in regards to having an ethical administration, but at least he is practicing diverisity.

He’s a Marxist.
Van Jones is a Communist.
Browner is a Socialist.

An administration loaded with tax cheats, former jail inmates, ex-lobbyists, Communists and Socialists.

Mr. Obama has a different version of the word ethical than does the average American, wouldn’t you say?
