[Darth Laidher]

The White House has tapped a former leader of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Wildlife Federation as the Asian carp czar to oversee the federal response to keeping the invasive species out of the Great Lakes.

To quote one of the replies at the end of the story: "This would be a great job for a bottom feeder. Obama should do the work himself."

Stimulus money at work...

This is actually really important. So I don't mind they are using money for ot

funny how if pollution kills off a few indigenous species of fish in a lake everyone gets all up in arms, if an invasive species does it nobody even cares. but i'm sure the OP is well aware why this is an issue and not just posting this to try and bash that dirty muslim terrorist obama...

Its important yes, but appointing a czar for it no way in hell is that needed.But I guess if you like your government full of people that needs not answer to anyone then czars are for you.

Unless this guy has some powers outside of what the job is actually going to cover, then what exactly are you worried about? Its not like Czars are new, though Bush and Obama have taken in a very large number of them to past POTUS.

Ugh seriously? Its a waste of money. No not trying to stop the carp thats fine, but putting in a czar to over see this is wrong.Why appoint this guy when the department of fish and game could handle this.

But its ok because its Obama right?

Honestly I don't care who appoints them. If you have read any of my post you could tell I don't really like most of Obamas policies
