Obama Reneges On Czar Cuts

Barak Obama is up to double-dealing again - this time breaking a contract while the ink is still wet.

The budget compromise that Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reached in the final moments before the government shut down last Friday included language eliminating the czar positions overseeing health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs.

"The president knew that the czar amendment was part of the overall budget deal he agreed to, and if he cannot be trusted to keep his word on this, then how can he be trusted as we negotiate on larger issues like federal spending and the economy," Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. said in a statement, arguing that appointing these czars without Senate confirmation violated the Constitution.

Obama seems to challenge the constitution as often as he can, a disturbing pattern that reflects his obvious disdain for the country.
