He previously served as a reporter for the ''[[New York Times]]'', advocating [[liberal]] approaches to economics, and continued to endorse such positions during his tenure as czar.
As a czar, Rattner was not accountable to anyone except [[President Obama]], and his responsibilities were similarly nebulous. Since his position is not a true cabinet post, Rattner did not need to be confirmed by the full Senate Like other Obama appointees, he is a strongly partisan choice with many ties to the Democratic party establishment.
