How many information technology czars does Obama need?

The White House has named yet another unaccountable appointee to oversee information technology.
We already have shady Vivek Kundra as Federal Chief Information Officer.
Then we have Aneesh Chopra as US Chief Technology Officer.
Now, meet the new Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt:
Here’s the full-text of the announcement email sent to the White House email list by John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism:
Dear Friend,
Cybersecurity matters to all of us. Protecting the internet is critical to our national security, public safety and our personal privacy and civil liberties. It’s also vital to President Obama’s efforts to strengthen our country, from the modernization of our health care system to the high-tech job creation central to our economic recovery.
The very email you are reading underscores our dependence on information technologies in this digital age, which is why it seemed like a fitting way to announce that the President has chosen Howard Schmidt to be the White House Cybersecurity Coordinator. Howard will have the important responsibility of orchestrating the many important cybersecurity activities across the government.
Howard is one of the world’s leading authorities on computer security, with some 40 years of experience in government, business and law enforcement. Learn more about Howard’s background and approach to cybersecurity.
Howard will have regular access to the President and serve as a key member of his National Security Staff. He will also work closely with his economic team to ensure that our cybersecurity efforts keep the Nation secure and prosperous.
Moving forward we will use WhiteHouse.gov, this email program and our other communications tools to keep you posted about our progress in this important area.
Sincerely,
John O. Brennan
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and CounterterrorismP.S. You can play an important role in cybersecurity as well. Learn more about the issue and steps you can take to ensure your own security.
Which one of them will protect us from White House snoops sifting through Facebook and Twitter and the next Internet Snitch Brigades?

Just a reminder that Demcare will usher in more info czars:
The Obamacare bill also creates a new “Bureau of Health Information” (not to be confused with the already existing National Center for Health Statistics) within the department of Health and Human Services. The BHI will be led by a new “Assistant Secretary for Health Information.” The new assistant secretary will coordinate with the recently-created “National Coordinator for Health Information Technology” – who is responsible for monitoring the $19.5 billion in the stimulus law to implement “a nationwide interoperable, privacy-protected health information technology infrastructure.”

If they get enough information czars, one might just find some way to shut down blogs they don’t like. We can’t have that pesky 1st amendment now can we?
L
But this one served in the Bush Administration, so Barry can directly blame Bush if anything goes wrong.
Is this like a light bulb joke…okay, as many as it takes to digitally destroy any criminal connection barry hussien has with blagojevich…nope, how about as many as it takes to get barry hussien’s kick backs up to the amount of money he’s gonna need for his legal defense team once he gets booted from office? bleah, I’ll keep trying, I might come up with something funny after lunch.
Oh! what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!
Ok, so it’s a different “web”, and it isn’t the first time the administration has deceived, but still…..
He needs another IT Czar to help Rep Grayson out:
This coming from a Rep who has done some pretty utterly tasteless and juvenile things on the floor of the house (which MM has chronicled very well).
I’m waiting for Obama to stage Sunday afternoon televised “progress” meetings with all of these czars like Hugo Chavez does with all of his ministers. Great opportunity to demonstrate how Obama, like Chavez, due to superhuman commitment to “the people”, is remaining afloat in a sea of treacherous incompetents. That’s how cult-based dictators operate.
A little red book wouldn’t hurt either.
In my home state it was recently discovered that the state’s judicial system alone uses six, COUNT THEM, six different e-mail systems. Adopting one would save the state $20 million annually. Will they? Not a chance.
Given Federal “efficiency” the answer to MM’s question is a “hoarde.”
How many of these judges are getting political donations from their respective email provider?

The only real job “growth” going on is in the CZAR and ACORN employment fields!
Another million jobs created or saved by Comrade Obama (PBUH)!
***
I’d like to see if the new Czar is smart enough to replace a bad hard drive, format the new one, and reload all the software to get the system operational again. Somehow I doubt they could handle even this simple task.

I learned last evening at a Kay Bailey Hutchison protest that the Houston Police Department has a special unit dedicated to monitoring the Tea Party activity in Houston.
This commie will undoubtedly do the same on a national level.
By the looks of it, 3 (the same number Bush had). And this guy is a carry-over from the previous administration. Apparently overseeing the disappearance of 22 million emails warrants a re-hire.
Got to choke off the Internet, just like they do in other Communist countries.
He does need all the information he could get, but NOT from his appointees. They were schooled just as he was, in anti-Americanism. But back to his much touted ‘intelligence.’ To-date, he cannot even make a simple statement without glancing at his notes. Did you see him commend the Senate for getting the 60 votes? What-the-hey, he had to read from a note! Absent TOTUS, he flounders, or becomes a virtual bobblehead.
Educated? Maybe. But getting doubtful about that Harvard degree more and more. So far he hasn’t shown ANY true knowledge of the Constitution! Neither Obama’s image or name appear in any Occidental yearbooks or the weekly student newspaper for the years he attended. Students at Columbia University believe he was a ghost there, never having seen him, giving rise to articles like: “Obama’s Years at Columbia Are a Mystery.” Reading is taught in grade school, and I am sure Indonesia was strict about it, so we can give him that!
Informed? With what? Indoctrinated and fully immersed in Socialism, probably.
Blank suit? YES!
The answer is directly proportional to the number of lies told. At the current rate it might be simpler to assign the lie tracking function to the OMB.
Blank suit? YES!
A prerequisite in order to be all things to all men.
In this administration, being able to ‘lose’ millions of (incriminating) emails would be a valuable skill.
Good God.
Can we go just a week without some terrifying marxist, communist, totalitarian dictatorship news about b hussein obama bringing in another marxist, communist, totalitarian dictator following tool?
Oh yeah, the obama’s DON’T DO CHRIST, in church or anywhere really, they’ll just go to Hawaii for vacay and pretend to be Christians.
It’s gonna be a wild ride in 2010.
Well, I’d start with the number of cronies Obama owes his election victory to…..
Maybe ‘The Won’ can begin giving ‘Fireside Chats’ next to a Fire Place full of Burning Books.
He could even have Hillary in to ‘Channel’ Eleanor.
Obama is putting America back to work — one czar at a time.
(I have dibs on Food-tasting Czar or Movie Review Czar.)
Could anything make it clearer that Obama has been a liar from the beginning? Everything he has done has made government bigger and more costly. In most cases it would have been better to have done nothing.
The Czar SS cant do any harm to an individual if they stand firm against
blackmailObamamail and face their indiscretions with honesty and don’t do a Tiger and succumb to Chicago liberal sleaze merchants. Hang tough America!Merry Chrismas
