Obama Wanted To Fire GOP US Attny To Fill Job With Dem
Publius' Forum ^ | 3/13/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Is is being reported that President Obama wanted to fire a Republican US Attorney in Missouri and to replace her with a Democrat.

Now, can we revisit the agonized wailing that emanated in 2006 from the unhinged left when President Bush fired some US Attorneys? Remember how they screamed that it was all "just political" and that it might even be an illegal action? Remember how they gyrated over Bush's supposed "destruction" of the US Attorney offices in the land, how he was trying to ruin our system?

Their wailing went on for several years quite despite the fact that these same US Attorneys serve at the discretion of the president in the first place. Quite despite the fact that past Democrat presidents also fired them at will. (Here is a perfect example of how the uniformed and unhinged left took this story back in 2006.)

Now comes The Obammessiah trying to fire GOP US Attorney Catherine Hanaway, a former Speaker of the Missouri House and US Attorney for the Eastern District since 2006, to replace her with St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney and Democrat Bob McCulloch...

This guy was one of Obama's "Truth Squad" guys that wanted to arrest people for disagreeing with Obama. Remember that during the campaign last year?

100% Bush’s fault that he didn’t tell them all to pound salt. He should have come out on day one and said that they serve at his pleasure; end of story. But, it was “beneath the dignity of the office”.That went over well, huh.

The US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President and can be removed at his bidding. How quickly they forget that Bill Clinton fired and replaced all of them.

Obama can't even fire one or else he'll derail the bogus issue the left has against President Bush.

But we are dealing with Democrrat controlled government and Media and they can and will do ANYTHING they desire with impunity.

Really? The government A-holes work for us, and they'll damn well do what we tell them to do or they'll be looking for jobs. This Obama sphincter is about to get the boot for lying about where he was born.

"Quo Warranto" is the only legally-correct avenue of redress available to the voter-public in matters of Constitutional authority, and Orly Taitz finally got it right (after Scalia told her what to do).

Back to the woodpile for Hussein.

Typical a$$ kissing repubic playbook move. Bush was a total PR failure. That is why hussein filled the vacuum... Bush's failure to communicate the truth to America helped to elect the antichrist.

I hope so!, maybe this is the Demo's version of a mistake made in WWII involving a 'Bridge to Far"?

Similar to a schoolyard Bully pushing people around until they had enough.

Been a LONG time coming to this point in America and it needs to be addressed.

Anyone who thought the Democrats little act-up about the firing, by Bush, of a few US attorneys, was anything other than pure political theater, is a fool.

That includes George W. Bush.

The essence of doublethink is being able to hold two diametrically opposed concepts in mind at the same time, and to be able at any given moment to believe with all ones heart that one of them is true and the other false, and the next minute believe the opposite with equal fervor.

Let's revisit 2001 when Bush fired all Clinton's attorneys. Or 1993 when Clinton fired all Bush senior's attorneys. Or 1981 when Reagan fired all Carter's attorneys. Or....

The Democrats, so-called, are authoritarians. They want to run the country when they’re in office, and run the country when they’re out of office.

“McCulloch, though, has apparently turned Obama down and wants to stay where he is at.”
The author is a freelance writer? He should learn how to write be he writes.

I believe the author is a Russian immigrant. She is Alan Keyes attorney if I read the side blurb correctly.
