Yes he was. Bush should have fired everyone from the administration. I am sure Clinton did when he got into office and I am sure if (god forbid) Kerry gets in offifce he will too.
I agree that there should have been a sweeping overhaul of every government office that had any Clinton appointee. Hindsight being what it is, of course.
There are only so many positions a president can "fire"........and Clinton was kind enough before he left office to make most of his political appointees civil servants; you cannot just up and fire a CS. Ashcroft even went to Congress to get permission to fire some of them, but they, of course, said no; they could only move them laterally.
Clinton fired all the attorneys genereal, who are required by law to submit their regisnations to the incoming administration; nobody before had ever accepted them ALL.
