President Obama may have never met a "czar" he didn't like and he's not about to bid farewell to any of them now, despite a budget deal he struck with Republican leaders last week that eliminated four of these positions.

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 effectively eliminating the czar positions overseeing health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs – positions that don't require Senate confirmation.

But after signing the legislation Friday that funds the government through the end of September and cuts $38 billion in spending, Obama issued a signing statement saying he would ignore the part about his czars, arguing that defunding those positions violated his constitutional authority.

That Boehner sure is a smart, tough negotiator. I sure am glad we have a smart, tough as nails negotiator on our side. We would be in a real pickle if we didn't have Speaker Boehner at bat for us. Woo, boy!

Hopefully this is a lesson learned. Next go around we see what we got. You can't trust the effing SOB as far as you can throw his ass.

What would it take to force a new vote for Speaker? We need the equivalent of a parliamentary "vote of no confidence" in the current crop of feckless, good-for-nothing "leadership".

I think all they kneed is a quorum but the House has to perceive some level of consternation from the crowd.  If I had a valid Rep. I would call her up and ask.

Simple solution. VOTE NO for the debt limit increase. Do what all the lefty's thought we should do with all dictators, box them in. Run down the money requirement for his office and cut down to 1% of what it is currently. Cut the staff, the security, cut the medical service, cut everything but the bare essentials. If he complains, tell him to resign or shut the government down permanently. All that's required is a no vote.
Remember, four boxes keep us free:
The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

That Boehner is too smart and clever and tough for that. You just watch. He's gonna outfox them lefties but good over that debt limit thingy. When they start their sneaky lefty stuff he's gonna distract them with his tears and then...the comfy chair.

The budget agreement was Obama's hudna before the debt ceiling jihad.

Boehner doesn't have the stones to hold the debt limit hostage...but maybe the members do...or the members can choose a new Speaker!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
