An Oil Czar?

No, I’m not talking about Russian dictatorship. President Obama has picked Czars out of the air for almost every discipline imaginable.

Why Czars? No need for messy Congressional vetting. No Senate approvals. Americans love it, but can you name the Oil Czar? With a world-scale rig disaster off New Orleans, the least we could have expected was an Oil Czar.

Instead I hear rumors about a whole Commission that might be named soon. Any day now. My guess? No Oil Czar. Not even a Chairperson. But the Commission should produce a huge chorus of words and accusations.

Sorry about the planet folks, but when the rig disaster news broke, I did predict “words”.
