A clue for you is that Bush replaced few if any significant Fed bureaucrats and officials that were Clintonistas. Tell me why that is? Do You at least agree that Clinton and the Clintonistas coveredup many scandals including Waco and OKC and Chinagate, and Filegate, and Whitewater and Monica gate and , and , .....?If you agree with this then maybe you can understand why things are not being cleaned up under Bush by the Clintonitas that are still there that created the messes and coverups anyway. no reason why Bush would continue Clinton's legacy.

Of course Bush has to deal with some people of the Clinton era. Do you really believe that any incoming president can immediately clear all remnants of the previous administration, especially when the previous administration ran 8 years?

What do you want Bush to do? Conduct a Stalin purge of the entire executive branch in the middle of a war, and let it be without leadership at this critical time?

Please.

For reply #41.

Bush is taking way too long to replace the Clintonistas in the Fed bureaucracy. He has replaced very few. BUsh has had more than enough time to find plenty of well qualified conservative Republicans to replace the Clinton Bozos. Please, Please do not expect me to believe otherwise, I won't buy the excuses.

I expected and voted for much more, much better, much sooner to be done with dignity and legally and in good taste so the "poor Clintonitas" won't feel they were unfairly purged. Removal and replacement does not require "left wing political corectness" however.

EB, it's absurd to imply that Bush would have to get rid of everyone in government hired during Clinton's tenure. He would have to clear out the important upper level officials who could be reassigned without firng or who could be fired. He hasn't done this. Clinton had no trouble at all doing a huge makeover at the DoJ, did he? He had a very hard time geting an AG confirmed, but gutting the attorney's ranks he could do and he did. Bush/Ashcroft haven't even cleaned that mess up.

Yes Bush can clear immediantly, just like Clinton did. There is not one reason the Clinton people that got us here should have been PROMOTED or just kicked down a peg.
