He's just try to keep up with whatever lame trend that Glenn Beck started. Playing to the base.

According to the wikipedia entry, George W. Bush had 35 czars, compared to Obama's 32. Granted, Bush's number is over an 8-year span. But over 8 years, Clinton had 6.
Still, if czars are acceptable, how many is too many? Well, the number appointed by a Democrat president is too many, obviously.
And as far as affronts to the Constitution go, did Lamar! happen to notice any tiny affronts during the Bush administration?
This complaint goes in the same category as the Republicans newly-discovered concern for the federal deficit. Under Bush, they hardly gave it a thought.

Well, Marvin, maybe if they had had a Van Jones plus some of the others you would have heard more.
Here are a few ripostes to the thundering of the echo chamber on Van Jones.
An excellent counter to Glenn Beck's attacks on Van Jones.

David Sirota on the firing (especially the third paragraph on how appeasing the right doesn't defang it, it just emboldens the crazies:

john, to quoth Lamar!: "I don't think he's (Van Jones)the issue, I think the czars are the issue."
It seems to me you should either advocate no czars at all for any president, or stop whining when a president not of your party appoints a few more czars than you arbitrarily decide is reasonable.
Speaking of crazies, BHO has appointed some other real loons to these posts. Czars are an issue but it may be they are needed, I don't know. You don't either , Marvin.
Nope, I don't know whether czars are needed or not. But Lamar's complaint was not about so-called "loons" being appointed, but the number of appointments. A number he (and others) have arbitrarily landed on. And a number that would no doubt not apply to a Republican president.
Loonies being appointed as czars may not be the issue for Lamar but it IS a legitimate issue nontheless.
If ever there was a perfect illustration of the watermellon "environmentalist" (green on the outside, red on the inside), Jones is it.
Of course the notion of government trying to push so-called "green jobs" at all is loony to begin with.
A pefect illustration of the broken window fallacy.
Alright folks, let's remember what happened to the last country that had Czars. That Czar was overthrown and his whole family was murdered by Bolsheviks. And we all know that Obama really digs Lenin. Doesn't this all sound eerily familiar? Am I getting through to you all? Folks, the liberals, they are being blinded by all of this although it seems so obvious to you and I. Folks, we need to keep phoning in to Senator Alexander's and Senator Corker's offices and keep badgering them about this. And also Congressman Blackburn's because, well, because she's so darn good looking. But again, not to harp, but Czar equals Bolshevism. And we can't expect the libs to get this, although they are probably for it, but us good common-sense patriotic conservatives have got to do something about it.
This is Phil Valentine Jr, signing out. And you tell em, that Phil Jr says Hey!!!
I havnt seen Van Jones on the talk shows telling why he said what he did. Any PR advisor would be telling him to do so, if it were just a smear job. He obviously has some unpopular beliefs
He should make Lamar a czar. He could be the open borders & bankster bailout czar. He needs an extra job to pay for that big Green Hills house he has anyway.
If you want to really laugh at a head of state get a load of the Prime Minister
of Australia on this webpage.
The Chinese got this guy in their
pocket and he has already leaked conversations about George W. Bush
to newspapers for personal gain.
This guy is the new joker in the
pack.
