Barack Obama does not need a controversy ATM when he is already facing worries over the economy and healthcare - not to mention the upcoming 2010 elections that will affect the 2nd half of his term. A smart guy would, IMHO, offer to resign and collect an IOU from him for the future instead of, say, being forced out.

Some congressmen are asking for hearings as to whether appointing the czars (commissars) without congressional over sight is constitutional.

Glenn Beck has been under fire recently for his words, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear his being forced out soon. OTOH, if that happens, he'll just be rehired somewhere else. In the end, controversial figures, esp. in the "talking heads" area, sell.

Glen Beck has highest rating on cable news and a best selling book. A bunch of liberal groups (including Van Jones) are trying to get him tossed--his biggest crime was calling Obama 'racist' during the cop thing. He's not going anywhere
