"The White House appointment will be followed in coming days by the formal creation of a new military cyber command that will coordinate the defense of Pentagon computer networks and improve U.S. offensive capabilities in cyberwarfare.
The cybersecurity chief will report to both the National Security Council and the National Economic Council, a compromise resulting from a fierce White House turf battle over the responsibilities and powers of the new office.

Mr. Obama won't announce on Friday the person who will fill the new job. That isn't expected for at least a few more days."

I'm not quite sure about this position. If this is another attack on net neutrality, it's not a good thing! Rockefeller introduced a bill concerning the internet and said perhaps we would be better off if it had never been invented. The Rockefellers have a lot to loose by people getting their news from non-mainstream media!
Here is Rockefeller;

This is how sick the Rockefellers are!

It is surprising that RepubliCON$/Rove finds the appointment of czars to be “a
giant expansion of presidential power” because he actually served as
the “domestic policy czar” in the Bush White House. In fact, President Bush himself appointed numerous czars in order to deal with various public crises and controversies, including a “cybersecurity czar,” “regulatory czar,” “AIDS czar,” “bird-flu czar” and “Katrina czar.” Moreover, Rove’s criticism of Obama is ironic, given his role in an administration that was marked by the expansion of executive power.
