"An appointed official having special powers to regulate or supervise an activity: a racetrack czar; an energy czar."

from dictionary.com - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/czar

By the way, I think the use of the term is a poor choice ... but Obama isn't the first president to have a czar ... but he sure is using that name a lot more than any other president.

Link below to an interesting article about WH czars from last December. Talks about how creating czars can often usurp the authority of department secretaries ... but some examples of where it worked (maybe it was one instead of some?)

Also gives some history of other presidents who had czars.
