#1 It is my understanding that none of the "tsars" are required to fill the paperwork that is needed by those reviewed by Congress (Cabinet, ect). I don't know about the Secret Service background checks, perhaps there are high level "waivers" involved?

#3 I know just the vet procedure needed, that would calm them down all right.

#4 Yep, Grunter, it would fix them. And would have prevented the development of our own 'House of Lords' semi-hereditary positions.

#5 Jones' vetting hasn't taken a big enough bite out of Obama. My understanding, from a former Secret Service agent interviewed on some program (I don't recall which one), is that all people entering the White House and close to the president are vetted for obvious security reasons by the SS. Only the president can override any questionable persons, but he always seems to have some excuse, cover, or "plausible deniability" when it comes to his associations with radicals. Avoiding personal responsibility and accountability is an ingrained character flaw of the arrogant, but the bigger they are, they harder they fall. Perseverence and patience, my fellow RBrs--it will all come to light, hopefully sooner rather than later.
