Abstract

When Barack Obama entered the White House, he faced numerous urgent issues. Despite the citizens' demand for strong presidential leadership, President Obama, following a long-standing precedent for the development and implementation of major policies, appointed administrators–so–called policy czars–charged with directing the response to the nation's most pressing crises.
