:yuck:Just wondering how many Czars does the White House have? Who are they? What do they oversee? Everytime I hear the word 'Czar' I think of the United States of America turning into the old Russia.

I did my own investigation, and came up with this list (it may be off 1 or 2things happen so fast at the WH):
1. **AfPak Czar, Czar for Afghanistan and Pakistan** - Richard Holbrooke
2. AIDS Czar - Jeffrey Crowley
3. **Auto Czar, Car Czar**- Ron Bloom
4. **Auto Recovery Czar & Autoworker Czar** -Ed Montgomery
5. Bank Bailout Czar & TARP Czar -Herb Allison
6. Border Czar - Alan Bersin
7. Climate Czar - Todd Stern
8. **Compensation Czar & Pay Czar**- Kenneth Feinberg
9. **Domestic Violence Czar** - Lynn Rosenthal
10. Drug Czar - Gil Kerlikowske
11. **Economic Czar & Big-picture Ecomic Czar** - Paul Volcker 12. Energy Czar & **Climate Czar & Global Warming Czar** - Carol Browner
13. Faith-Based Czar - Joshua DuBois

**=new Czar departments since Pres. Obama took over

Number of Appointees (approx. number always changing for Pres. Obama):
appointees:George W. Bush: 46 Pres. Obama 2009: 34
That averages out to (approx. number always changing for Pres. Obama): Bush - 5.75 a year Pres. Obama - 34

Czars: Bush 36 Pres. Obama - 32
That averages out to (approx. number always changing for Pres. Obama): Bush -4.5 a year Pres. Obama - 32
(Remember, these were for 8 years for GW Bush and only this year for Pres. Obama)

Prospective Czars not yet appointed:
1. **Copyright Czar**
2. **Cyber Security Czar / Cyber Czar**
3. **Education Czar**
4. **Green Job Czar** - resigned
5. **Mortgage Czar**
