I know Glenn Beck keeps saying these “czars” differ from ordinary executive-branch officials in that they are exempt from Congressional oversight . . . but I have never yet seen a credible cite for that. Yet it’s a RW meme propagating virally all over the blogosphere right now, it seems.
He’s a lying moron, but he rarely “states” anything- he just alludes to it in a semi-rhetorical “question”. That way, he can backtrack when he’s called on it. Thus, he’s also a coward, not willing to stand behind his own beliefs.
Note to self:

Become a cowardly, lying moron.

PROFIT!
Well, Czars are scary. They sent their opponents to Siberia, oppressed the people, persecuted the Jews, got in all these wars in the Balkans.
Do you really want this all happening here?
You know who else had lots of Czars?
HITLER!
(oh, wait, never mind.)
You know, I could *swear *that previous administrations had czars.
Particularly that Czarcasm guy. 
Seriously, the “czar” nickname is probably not helping, given what these people think about Obama to begin with.
An earlier thread on this subject that may have inspired the current one.
Here’s one column about the constitutional issue, which you can tell is going to be good because the author has to admit in sentence #2 that he’s “not a constitutional scholar.” But he’s read the Constitution, and he did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Anyway he argues that the czars most be there for evil purposes because the posts are redundant, since he already has his cabinet, and that Congress needs to approve them, and hasn’t.
The really hilarious part of all this is that, according to the Wikipedia entry BrainGlutton links to, Obama has three fewer czars than Bush.
Yes. Obama should have gone with ‘Emirs’ instead of czars.
That’d have given the loons much less to wail about.
Hah! You know who else had Emirs?
Uh… I got nuthin’.
I’d have preferred ‘Swami’. Or perhaps ‘Guru’, but only if the emphasis is on the second syllable.
Nah, ‘Ayatollah’ would have worked better, definitely.
And that one of Bush’s czars was the Reading Czar, appointed primarily to teach kids how to read books upside down. 
He should immediately appoint an “Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah”.
Are you kidding? Emir = Arabic = Muslim = Wailing and Lying Through Teeth
He should have gone with pomo. It’s Finnish, it just means boss.
Too easily misread as “porno.”
I say he should have appointed “Commissars.”
Sultans.
Who could be upset about the “Sultan of Domestic Car Sales” or whatever?
Note that the method of identifying a czar on that list is “a person refered to at least once by the media as a czar”. Which is why it’s silly to complain about the number of “czars” a President has, the term doesn’t have any sort of official meaning, its just media short-hand for “person in the Executive Branch in charge of X”. It’s use doesn’t really tell us much about
I had someone explain to me, with a straight face, during the Cold War, that the word literally was derived from “Commie (=Communist) Czar.”
Or “postmodern.”
