Obama’s computer security police
So, the president is going to tell us who his computer security czar soon.
Let’s hope it’s not the same person who ran the Obama campaign’s grossly insecure online credit card donation operations.

And why not? Seems to me he’d be an ideal fit for this administration. Just what a South Side Chicago Pol would want.
Another day, another czar……
Same old, same old…
Didn’t the communists shoot the czar?
Knew this was coming. Now he’ll have total control of all media.
What ever became of the Obama credit card issue? Is the FEC even looking at it? It seems to me that it is a pretty egregious disregard for election law.
And, what’s with this “czar” business? Doesn’t that bring up images of a regime overthrown by those whom our “progressive” leaders idolize? Seems to me “Commisar” would be more appropriate to this outfit.
Computer Security Czar! Car Czar!
What’s next!?!? A Czar to oversee how much toilet paper we use!?!?
I better not give him any ideas here!
No worries. I’m sure they’ve got that base, and others covered, as soon as a toilet paper crisis arrises. Sheryl Crow’s name comes to mide for our TP Commisa, I mean, czar : )
mind not mide : )
I’ll be really disappointed if he doesn’t choose Joe Biden. Nobody messes with Joe.
My collie says:
Why does this administration keep appointing “Czars.” I am not aware of the brilliance or the efficiency of the old Romanov Dynasty, so why should we follow their example?
Perhaps it is that Obama needs to set up a straw Czarist Dynasty so he can therefore knock it down to form his socialistic/communistic utopia.
Just our luck. We asked for a president and got a used czar salesman.
Can anybody remember the last day that this arrogant egomaniac wasn’t on television?
Don’t look at me. I’m only 50 years old.
hawkeye, you are a lot closer to predicting the future than you think. Obama paper szar plans to stop the lumberjacks from working, so toiletpaper might become a luxury like it was in the USSR. People were using newspapers for that purpose and everyone had to be careful to cut out any of the photos depicting beloved communist leaders from the pile of paper in the toilet. If you didn’t, and a neighbor informed on you, then you disappeared. They are coming for your TP – protect the bunghole!
Don’t forget that the word czar derives from tsar, from kaisar, from caesar.
One who has great power. Power which is appointed, not elected. Power which does not fall under checks and balances.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Without underestimating a legitimate threat, there is a growing danger of the government thought police further intruding into our lives. Here in Hawaii, the governor just signed a bill that purportedly protects victims of electonice harassment. The trouble is, it could also be used against bloggers whose comments could be construed to be harassing. Let’s see, first they came for the conservative radio talk show hosts, then they came for …
MSM: “What’s your background and experience?”
CS czar:”Oh yes, I’m very familiar with the interwebs and stuff, In fact, next week I plan to twit on MyFace some of my new proposals. Just Goggle CSczarNowIareone.hurl”
MSM: “Great! We just know you’ll make a fine addition to this spectacular administration!”
It’ll be someone like Kevin Mitnick:
Just think of the fun this guy will have with the power of the One behind him!
Maybe we could arrange for Barney Frank to “stand behind him” to “look over his shoulder” and keep him honest. LOL….
I think this is a back door plot to keep an eye on sites like MM, HA, etc. and on the people who post there. I don’t trust bho and team one tiny bit.
L
Not insecure, grossly open to hidden donations and improper campaign financing.
The next “Czar” will be the kid that hacked Sarah Palin’s email account…
Isn’t that in the Progressives playbook, as it was the Communists? All crises, both real and fabricated, lead to opportunities to seize control in the name of “salvation” for the masses.
And this is certainly a marvalous opportunity to clamp down and eradicate sites such as MMs.
These Leftist sure have a propensity for Czars–how did that work out for Nicholas II? “Careful-the State Security Services ARE watching peasant“.
Short wave radio MAY be our last refuge–that is where I put my bet.

Let your sidearm be like MasterCard: DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.
And if you live in a sissy state that won’t let you carry move to one that will–we need you.
After the Obama Computer Czar takes over:
ISP Helpdesk: How may I help you?
Customer: I can’t seem to connect to any conservative news sites or blogs.
ISP Helpdesk: I’m sorry, but I don’t see any problems on our end. It must be your firewall or internet browser.
Customer: I’ve checked all of those things and I’m able to get to all the liberal news sites and blogs.
ISP Helpdesk: Well, write this down for future reference – ID (alpha) 10 (numeric) T (alpha) – Because I assume you are a bit slow, please omit the (alpha) and (numeric)when transcribing the reference number.
Please call again.
I though he sounded familiar–iamsaved works for my ISP.
Lots of information-none of it helpful
Gee, let’s see which one of his donors or major fundraisers get this job.

Incompetent and dishonest appointees are the hallmark of President Obama’s (PBUH) picks.
***
However, it shouldn’t be any harder to “fix” the Internet than it will be to “fix” GM and Chrysler. Or to “save the planet” and make the seas recede and the ice packs reform.
***
Good thing we have a MESSIAH who can wave his magic wand and make all this stuff happen–while he and his Congressional minions pick our pockets and trash our economy.
***
HOPE AND CHANGE you can(’t) believe in!

This is how they appoint cabinet level authority without having to go through that whole Senate confirmation thing.
This is called being a loyal Democrat.
Maybe the czar can take a look at O’s Blackberry….The Chinese must stifle their mirth every time he pulls it out of his pocket.
It’s also how they plan to avoid Congressional oversight on a lot of activities.
But most importantly, an assortment of “Czars” will allow Hope-a-Dope to avoid a lot of real work, decision-making and responsibility, thereby enabling him to do what he really wants to do in office: play.
So how many czars are we up to? Obummer has nothing on the Russian royal family or aristocracy. Appointing some head “honcho” who either a) won’t have the experience necessary, b) will be a political payback for a donation/contribution to the campaign, or c) yet another Obummer crony does anybody seriously think that any kind of cyber czar will be capable of curbing computer hacking, theft, and insecurity?
Does Obummer not realize that the Air Force is now currently standing up the Cyber Command that’s monitoring all of this right now? How much repetition, redundancy, and waste is required before we finally do away with this czar business? Creating a position to solve a problem doesn’t solve the problem. Just ask Homeland Insecurity and the wide-open border they can’t be bothered to do anything about.
My question is have all these “Czar” positions salaries been added into the budget deficit yet?
Then they came for the bloggers
You know those Netflix commercials where they ask some outrageous question, the responder gives some outrageous answer, the answer is right, always leading up to some plug for Netflix….
Ok, so think those commercials.
Since the current car czar was a newspaper reporter and has no experience in the auto industry and his wife is a DNC fund raiser, who will the cyber security czar be….
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
If it open for nominations, then I want the computer security czar to be Cyber Cypher’s collie.
However, he’s probably to smart.
There’s also the problem of what would happen when Obama’s puppy had to face a real alpha dog.
2 reasons: control and control.
The first one is about centralizing as much authority in the executive branch (away from congress, the private sector and the judiciary) as possible.
The second one is about Obama’s personal control. Notice, too, that he has appointed special envoys to areas where the state department already has under secretaries with authority. It’s exactly the same thing. Obama doesn’t want the authority in the traditional institutions, even if they theoretically work for him. He wants individuals answerable to him personally, not members of institutions with careers to think of.
It’s all about power.
Exactly! That’s why Obama is appointing so many czars. The czar does the dirty work and Obama keeps his hands clean. But, if anything goes wrong, all they have to do is “shoot” the czar and throw him under the bus, and Obama emerges unsullied.
It also helps when Obama can appoint anyone he wants to be czar without going through a confirmation process involving nasty Senate hearings. It’s an end around the constitution because a “czar” doesn’t need legislative consent.
Computer “CZAR” – pffft
Just someone to keep the email addresses of the 08 contributors up-to-date.
The role of the CZAR is to have access or All computer data, so that the Democrats can sell it to the Chinese. Its simple.
I was just thinking that the other day…how paradoxical these thugs have become. 1917 the commies took over Russia and immediately executed the last living czar…2009 the new neo-commies in America start installing czars to run the giverment. Is that going full circle?
Let’s hope it’s not the same person who ran the Obama campaign’s grossly insecure online credit card donation operations.
Gee, it would be nice is someone in the W.H. Press corps pressed Gibbsy on this one.
It was terrible when Boooosh was listening to our phonecalls
But not a word about Odopey reading our emails.
We have so many appointed Czars running around Washington it’s beginning to resemble the Royal House of Saud. Thousands, all appointed, and all answerable to only one person and yet drinking from the taxpayer trough.
A Czar to oversee the President. Known as USA Czar/Ruler. He makes all the rules and punishes those who create problems for his system. That way, everyone has a good standard of living. If you live that is.
damn… that is funny!
Seems you people do NOT get it, what this man is doing?
It is a Power Grab! A little here, A little there. Is ANYONE curious as to what happened to that 700 Billion Bernake & Paulson got? That money THEY WOULD NOT DISCLOSE?
If you would like a better understanding as to what is going on, PRAVDA has a wonderful article… Amazing isnt it, having to read the TRUTH from a former Communist News Organization?
http://patdollard.com/2009/05/pravda-americas-descent-into-marxism-happening-with-breathtaking-speed-the-proud-american-will-go-down-into-his-slavery-without-a-fight/
Oh, we get it. The question is what to do about it. I don’t think we can wait till 2010.
Don’t give up on the TP Czar. The 2010 Census will be asking how many bathrooms you have in your house.
Wipe now, weep later…
Hmmmm… So the Bamster will soon have backdoor access to anyone’s computer thru his Computer Security Czar.
What could possibly go wrong here?
I’m not happy that BO is spending my own money to monitor my free speech. The next thing we don’t need is GM coming out with the BO volkswagan – the “peoples car”. We’re being told what to think, when to act, how much money we can make, how much we can keep- (of course the gov’t gets more than I or my family) and what to buy.
This is change – we don’t want or need. I’m writting more than I usually do as I’m sure the gov’t will be able to hire 5 or 6 more workers at a quarter million a pop just to follow my writing. Let’s all keep writing and we can make good on BO’s promise of 3 million (government)jobs saved or more likely created.
Let’s see. Obama could monitor everything on you computer, your internet purchases, your internet contacts, your internet posts, your email, your credit card info, your bank info, anything he wants.
What could go wrong?
That part was already covered in the stimulus bill. Every financial transaction made online is now tracked. Or at least it can legally be tracked … whether or not our government yet has the ability to do it … but sadly I see no reason to believe that they do not.
Power Grab? Even the Communists are amazed at the speed with which he who shall not be named is bringing Marx to the American people … and the publicly
educatedindoctrinated masses keep cheering him on.When it comes time to pay for this, the price will be ugly indeed.
Thank you to Glenn Beck.
There is nothing in the constitution about Czars either. And I think the correct spelling is “Tsar”.
Phooey on this Czar stuff. I liked the term used in the westerns – ramrod. “Ah own th’ ranch, and this hyer’s mah ramrod.”
Gene Autry – where are you now that we need you?
“Rabbi, is there a proper blessing for the Czar?”
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist
