Q: Who was appointed by Obama to be his manufacturing czar and what is the formal title of that position?
A: On September 7, 2009, the president of the United States announced that Ron Bloom would be his Senior Counselor for Manufacturing Policy. Because this position does not require Senate confirmation, the media dubbed him Obama's newest czar, the Manufacturing Czar.
For a list of other advisers to the president considered czars (appointed by the executive branch and not needing the confirmation of the legislation branch), see here.
