I absolutely have to give credit where credit is due; Barack Obama has the standing Today’s Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me? Award for a continuation and growth of unconstitutional government.
Today, right on the heels of his “I need to grovel at the feet of the Middle Eastern Muslims as their slave” speech, the White House announces a new czar, which by the way, is completely unconstitutional; but I digress.
White House Set to Appoint a Pay Czar
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration plans to appoint a “Special Master for Compensation” to ensure that companies receiving federal bailout funds are abiding by executive-pay guidelines, according to people familiar with the matter.
The administration is expected to name Kenneth Feinberg, who oversaw the federal government’s compensation fund for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, to act as a pay czar for the Treasury Department, these people said.
Mr. Feinberg’s appointment could be announced as early as next week, when the administration is expected to release executive-compensation guidelines for firms receiving aid from the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. Those companies, which include banks, insurers and auto makers, are subject to a host of compensation restrictions imposed by the Bush and Obama administrations and by Congress.
Anybody still thinking that this is Change We Can Believe In? Anybody still thinking that this is socialism? Does anybody think Selim I is going to stop with TARP recipients? Does anybody think that when he bails out the newspapers they are going to become anything other than the Pravda of USSR fame?
UPDATE: 7.9.09: Barack Obama has appointed 31 czars as of today. Go here for the list – and continuing updates.

They’re already at USSR Pravda levels. After Obama bails them out, the MSM will be more like Germany during Hitler’s reign. I can hardly wait for icons like Tweety and Slobermann to tell me how my personal hygiene practices can help to support teh One.
This asswipe is a problem. There were problems with that 9/11 fund if my memory serves me correctly. I will check it out and get back to you!
About the special pay master:
http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/defenseandsecurity/a/randon911.htm
For example, the Victim Compensation Fund decided to limit the amount of lost future earnings it would consider when calculating awards for survivors. Administrators capped income the fund would consider at $231,000 per year in projecting future lifetime earnings, even though many people killed earned more than that amount. The special master of the Victim Compensation Fund had substantial discretion to set final awards for higher income earners, but data are not available on how he exercised that discretion.
Because of concerns that liability claims would clog the courts and create further economic harm, the federal government limited the liability of airlines, airports and certain government bodies….socialism under Bush!
All of these “czars”…this nut has gone 100% communist and is just trying to catch us up with him.
Obama’s new ass kissing Treasury Czar Feinberg will have plenty of work ahead of him distributing the next Stimulus Package to ACORN, the Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, 20 million illegal aliens, and 47 million welfare sucking Americans who don’t work and have no intention of working. Welcome to the Socialist States of America comrades.
navyvet, i LUV that plain speaking! Yes, @$$wipe in Chief is an @$$wipte indeed.
Diamond, w/r/t print media…GOING TO BE?? They have already far surpassed Pravda’s heyday as a propaganda ministry. There is little more they could do to be any worse.

Patriotic Microsoft threatens to move U.S. jobs overseas rather than pay taxes … John Doe to leave the U.S. so he can work for Microsoft somewhere else.
Salt in wounds is that it is Likely, Intel would follow.
That would put the entire Left Coast out of Business for a long long time.
Letty,
It’s not like we didn’t warn them that anyone with money and half an ounce of common sense would leave the US when they started this crap.
Sometimes I hate being right. It’s happening more and more every day.
