Thrity-two Czars and Counting

Eric Cantor splains what a Czar is ("...[appointed officials] wholly unaccountable to Congress yet tasked with spearheading major policy efforts for the White House") and how many Obama has appointed. As of a week ago, Obama has appointed more than Imperial Russia actually had. He begins the article by citing Obama's broken campaign promise made last March: "The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States."

So if the GOP does take back congress next year, will it even matter?
