Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Because President Obama has appointed so many czars, this shadow government is becoming as unwieldy as the original. In an attempt to sort things out, he may be considering naming a czar to oversee all the czars. Loyal Americans (and Star Wars fans) soon can expect to see...(drumroll)...Czar Czar Binks! (rimshot)
When a czar is named
Each receives a gift or three
One of these is this
They help create a - brand new bureaucracy

When Barack appoints a czar
(He's named twenty-plus so far)
All our ills from drugs to cars
Will go away
They don't need con-fir-ma-tion
No controls from the nation
When you're chosen as a czar
You start today!

Thank your stars
The czars are on the jobs
'Though for us average slobs
They are not working

Barack thinks that czaring's fun
Two Cabinets instead of one!
Soon we'll all be run by czars
Obama's way!


"To reach the unreachable czars!" :D

Russia had czars, followed by Communists. We have communists appointing czars. Shows their ignorance of history. The correct term should be "commissar". But these folks get nothing right. Unfortunately the right can't seem to get anything right either. Maybe someday we'll try that long forgotten American idea: freedom.

I think the term Czar originated out of ancient Rome - it was the Russian tongue that pronounced Caesar as Czar. With so much written about Mr. President on this site maybe he'll appoint a parody Czar and call him the Czar-Tune.

What I want to know is what in Czar-Nation is going on with all these Czars?

Good parody - always thought the "Car Czar" was the best - a tiltle you could be proud of when telling people what you do.
