This will be interesting because if the Dems make a large issue of this Odumbo won’t be able to fire all the US attorneys as he would likely do under normal circumstances...like Clinton.

If Clinton fired 50 to 80 something attorneys than what is the big deal if Bush fired nine of them. New administrations do this all the time, right? The Obama fire anybody yet?

Obama MUST keep the spectre of the evil Bush alive for the whole of his term. He continues to make references to Bush, to "the failed policies" and "no longer will we" do something.

With Clinton, when he needed a distraction he'd bomb an aspirin factory. With Obama, he will release "shocking" CIA documents (that story faded once people got beyond the headlines) and announce investigations into Bush era policies.

We will be reading about this kind of thing for at least the next four years--including during the next election.

Bottom line is what goes around comes around and if we can find enough Conservatives with balls they can hand it back to the foreign Commander in Chief. And congress for the illegal things they have done. Now that would be cool.

-- how many US Attorneys did Clinton fire again? --

Use the Nominations Search Tool at the US Library of Congress to get an approximate answer (it doesn't distinguish volutary from involuntary separation) ...

That stupid Obama ~ he talks about "failed policies" yet he managed to create the most corrupt regime in the history of America even before he took the oath of office.

He must not have a sense of right and wrong or he'd realized that getting stuck with a bunch of Republican US attornies may spell out his personal doom.

too bad the Senators and Congressmen are not under the penaalty of perjury when they speak, they will all be in jail. Rove is dumb to testify. The whole idea is to catch Rove in some contradiction or misstatement and put him in jail for perjury. They don’t care about the truth, they just want Rove’s butt in jail. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Never testify under oath to those lying weasels. Rove thinks he is too smart, but it is easy to say something in error.

I guess Libby never heard of the 5th Amendment.

I predict just the opposite - they will continue to trash Bush admin for a few firings and then fire a whole slew of them and no one will even report it except a few fringe sites

Clinton fired them all at once in the beginningof his term I believe. Thats supposed to be ok. But if you fire later its considered for political reasons. Dems love to pick Knat chit out of the pepper.

Sitting right next to them, of course, will be the former governor of Arkansas (the sexual predator), to testify as to why he fired 99 attorneys when he took office.

Clinton = 99
Bush = 9

What am I missing?
