Cass Sunstein administered the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Referred to as OIRA (Oh-eye-rah) in wonky academic circles, it is one of the most powerful behind-the-scenes jobs a person can have because it reviews nearly every regulation for an administrative state that continues to expand.
And on Friday, Sunstein resigned from this post and said he would go back to Harvard, signifying another moment in which a key Obama ally decided it was better to jump ship.
Sunstein once argued in a speech at Harvard that the government could be used to eliminate “practices such as ... meat eating,†argued hunting should be banned (“We ought to ban hunting ... that should be against the law ... it’s time now,†he said), and wrote in a 2004 book that animals should be able to sue in a court of law and have humans represents them as clients.
Few represented President Barack Obama’s academic aloofness and air of intellectual superiority more than Sunstein and Obama essentially asked the radical professor what job he would want in his administration.
That would explain why he was given enormous power to review the language of Obamacare. Sunstein also reviewed Dodd-Frank, which is destroying small banks, environmental regulations, new food rules -- such as changing the food pyramid to a plate -- and a variety of fuel efficiency standards. He was also in charge of E.P.A. regulations that created new standards for carbon emissions from various-sized plants, which burdened businesses and created more economic uncertainty for those trying to start businesses or build manufacturing plants at home.
In truth, Sunstein -- and OIRA -- reviewed nearly everything in the vast administrative state. His power is more significant in dealing with under-the-radar rules and regulations that often go unnoticed.
The New York Times aptly described Sunstein as someone who “came to Washington to test his theories of human behavior and economic efficiency in the laboratory of the federal government.â€
Like Obama’s, these academic theories are often not grounded in reality, and that is why they fail miserably.

For some reason, I can't quite identify, this resignation scares the crap out of me.

I would never have heard of this guy except for Glen Beck talking about him when his show was on Fox news. Sunstein is a scary person and his replacement can't be any worse. ( I hope)

His wife..Irish born Samantha Power is just as scary...and she's still with the administration.

What? That he was to radical for Obama or Obama was to radical for him?
Pistols at 10 paces should solve that....if they both use "The Judge".

If they were good libs they would be bio degradable and fix that problem.

Probably because of who might replace him should Obama actually get reelected.

More likely because of what papa Cass might be doing, now that he's flying below the public radar.

Better to go back to Harvard as President Obama's former funky then as Former President Obama's former flunky.

After these radical reactionaries reveal themselves thoroughly, and publicly, by serving in an administration vocally, I am shocked they could ever be hired for another job in their lifetime.

I am happy, happy he is out of the Fed office. He is an animal rights WackO. Proposed, in a white paper while still teaching, that animals should be able to secure legal representation and sue their owners. Of course there would have been a Fed agency to regulate all this, and there would be animal guardian ad litem type persons to speak on the animals' behalf.
From what I could tell, this nut job loved regulating others to his own preferences.
Wack-a-doodle.

Yup, don't really matter if one is a highschool principal or chief of police, when someone well known just up and quits with little to no warning, it kind of makes you wonder ???
Now this man, darn I just hope he doesn't go missing as did the DA looking in to Sanduskey or the former scientist working for the bio chemical lab did about a year ago. Last know video of him was him wandering about wearing no shoes in some kind of daze.
Now what is about his wife being a bit strange too ????
