Well, I imagine these people will soon catch Hell from The Tea Party, who are forever railing about Czars being appointed without election. Now we have real Czars replacing elections in Michigan. Any moment now, the same people who have been whipping up hysteria about Obama's Czars will be descending upon Michigan in outrage, demanding the Governor's resignation.

... any time now...

Don't hold your breath.

The tea baggers are nothing if not hypocritical.

Sorry, I forgot to include the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] modifier to my posts.

In all seriousness, the amount of psychological projection by extreme Republicans (aka the so-called Tea Party), never ceases to amaze me.

• Obama is "divisive" but wasn't division their strategy (see "wedge issues")?
  
• They say Obama is uncompromising but their idea of compromise is "we get everything we want"
  
• They say Obama is racist and sowing racial divisions but, well...
  
• They say Obama is shredding the Constitution after their last administration openly said "it's just a piece of paper"
  
• They say he stole from Medicare but they want to destroy Medicare.
  
• They say Obamacare has "death pannels" but our current insurance system lets poor people die
  
• And now their hysteria about the slang term "Czar" meaning administrator of a White House project and yet look the other way when real Czars are appointed over entire cities with unilateral executive fiat over everything.
  

Yes, the problem with this country is the assholes sent to run it by citizens who don't know what the fuck they are doing.
