Obama to Appoint Cyber Czar

This can’t be good.

President Obama is expected to announce late this week that he will create a “cyber czar,” a senior White House official who will have broad authority to develop strategy to protect the nation’s government-run and private computer networks, according to people who have been briefed on the plan.

The adviser will have the most comprehensive mandate granted to such an official to date and will probably be a member of the National Security Council but will report to the national security adviser as well as the senior White House economic adviser, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deliberations are not final.

The announcement will coincide with the long-anticipated release of a 40-page report that evaluates the government’s cybersecurity initiatives and policies. The report is intended to outline a “strategic vision” and the range of issues the new adviser must handle, but it will not delve into details, administration officials told reporters last month.

Just what we need, another unelected “czar” with broad power over the American people. Stephen Moore weighed in on the subject with Neil Cavuto. At this point there are more questions than answers.

    Directives made with no basis in law should not be complied with.

    Arbitrary fees (taxes) should not be paid.

    Saying no means squat if not backed up by the appropriate (in)action.

    The soviet ways are slowly creeping in.

    No? Google: 1-866-LITTER1

    Czar…. Jesus just using that damn word should be clue enough. Anyone ever read their History book in highschool? Nothing good was ever mentioned when talking about Czars.

    1: emperor ; specifically : the ruler of Russia until the 1917 revolution
    2: one having great power or authority
