Changes

Steven Rattner is an [[American]] [[financier]], a founder of the Quadrangle group, and was appointed "car czar" in the presidential administration of [[Barack Hussein Obama]].  He previously served as a reporter for the [[New York Times]], advocating [[liberal]] approaches to [[economics]], and is expected to continue to endorse such positions during his tenure as czar.  As a czar, Rattner is not accountable to anyone except President Obama, and his responsibilities are 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 was a strongly [[partisan]] choice with many ties to the [[Democratic party|Democrat]] establishment; Rattner's wife is the National Finance Chair of the Democratic Party.
