Bush got slammed, his government investigated, Cheney, Rove, US Attorney got slammed, investigated, Marxists whined, moaned, complained, threatened, etc. WHEN Bush fired 9 US assistant US Attorneys. How long before Obama cleans house of the ones Bush put in? How quickly with the Marxist's congress take to complain and start investigation of wrong doing of firing of these assistant US attorneys? Like never! Won't happen. The MSM will say he had right to put in those he felt were better qualified, he trusted.
Basically, today it has begun. The 1960's radicals are now in charge. Socialism, communism, Marxism, it is all the rage now. No matter that it destroyed eastern Europe, North Korea, Cuba, and other cuntries. Now it will be law here. We are in for hugh bad times. Enjoy your last minutes of freedom and liberty that you were born with. As the days months and years unfold under the chosen one, these will be those good ole days.
“Gird your loins!”
They’re here.
How soon will the calls for reparations be fever-pitch????
It will all be done with the help of Holder who has never seen a terrorist he didn’t try to help pardon.
Clinton fired ALL of the US Attorneys. As a lawyer, he knew that they decide what gets prosecuted. Look for any and all USAs in and around Illinois to be replaced at a minimum, probably a redux of Clinton’s tactic as good measure.
To be fair, Bush did replace all (or most) of the US Attorneys when he took office in 2001. What was different was that he also fired a few of those who he had hired, in the middle of his term. That action was somewhat unusual. There was, of course, nothing wrong with what he did(they do, after all, serve at the pleasure of the President), but it was unusual.
Matter of fact.
If Bush had "in the precedent of President Clinton" fired every US attorney and seized their records after inauguration 2001, Obama would not be president now and a LOT of Rats would be in Federal prison.
True, thank you for expanding on the comment.
The ones fied mid term raised Cain as well. THe Press was happy to dive in and - well, we all saw the results.
Bush will be remembered for many things, as is -say, Jimmy Carter.
I guess the real proof will be in what we tell our grandkids, eh?
Axelrod's mother worked/wrote for I.F.Stone.
I.F.Stone was Joe Stalin's man on the scene in the United States.
You can't get closer to Communism than that.
Let's give him a couple of weeks to see if Obama can rise above that narrow bizarro worldview. It's time to overcome ideological pathologies ~
Obama (or at least his advisors) won’t be as naive as was president Bush.
He will clean out the bureaucracies from bottom to top as did Clinton and other presidents before him.
President Bush had his administration undermined and sabotagged from within for eight years due to his failure to clean out opposition appointees when he took office.
If president Bush had shown more Compassionate Conservatism for his supporters and less for his detractors he would have had greater success.
Fire the attornies? Well, I don’t know.... There’s gays to be openly welcomed in the military, unborn babies to annihilate, private companies and funds to be nationalized... I mean, even His Lordship can destroy only so much in one day.
WOLVERINES !
Good reminder, thanks.
You can just go down the line and name the instances where that destroyed everything: Katrina, Iraq, overseas communication intercepts, Gitmo, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac reform, and the US attorneys. W's inability to understand that not responding personally and not allowing his administration to respond didn't make him a better person was tragic, had tragic consequences and undermined what he tried to do. That he accomplished what he did in spite of it is amazing, but the damage that was done is immense and along with the cowardice of most of the Congressional republicans, led to this disastrous day in our nation's history.
You mean he hasn’t yet?
They’ll receive their notices by Friday.
The son of Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) already has his bid in for US District Attorney for South Dakota. His father claims he will not use his influence to help his son to get the position, however, I’m sure Bambi will deliver.
Who will the MSM and Democrats bash now that Geo W is gone and the Congress is controlled by lying two faced Democrats?
Conservative Republicans had better start screaming the Conservative message every chance they get.
We need to win a majority in the 2010 Congressional elections.
