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.
