Obama's White House: Big posts, overlapping tasks
How many geniuses does it take to change a lightbulb...WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is building a White House staff so loaded with big names and overlapping duties that it could collapse into chaos unless managed with a juggler's skill. It's an administration that seems "addicted to czars," says one longtime observer of government organization. Obama has installed a White House health czar who doubles as secretary of Health and Human Services. The State Department now has "special envoys" for the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and for climate change - areas already overseen by other officials. Posted by: tu3031 2009-01-28 |
