Does anyone know the status replacing US Attorney Generals?
I am having difficulty finding sources of any Pres. Obama picks for replacing Bush picsk in each state....
All 57 Attorney Generals are to be lined against a wall and shot...

4. Assuming you mean the US Attorneys, I don't think he's done anything much yet.
Usually the president and the new AG fire all previous US Attorneys and pick their own slate. Clinton, IIRC, made an exception by not firing one attorney who was investigating a crime linked to a Clinton ally, to avoid appearances of impropriety.
The only thing I've heard about Obama is that he plans to keep Fitzgerald and fire the rest, but that he had asked them all to stay on until he did so. There are 93 federal attorneys, and about half of them are interim or recess appointments. IIRC, the position is only a four year appointment anyway.
If he's done anything since then, I haven't heard, and I can't find a Google on it. I found this on NPR (ignore the dig at Clinton, it's misleading): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99...
President Bush fired all 57 Attorney Generals and replaced them with Attorney Field Marshalls! (dispensing Marshall Law!!!)

They should be there until 2011 or so...

Isn't this the same practice that the assmonkeys at the DUmp want Bush and Cheney prosecuted for?

And H. Miers and A. Gonzales, too.

If I recollect correctly, BJ fired all but 2 of the US attorney generals 3 days after he was in office. George W kept most of Clintoons appointees, which in my opinion was his mistake! He should have cleaned house there and in the stinkin' State Department!

SPOT ON!
They then worked tirelessly to undermine him and his policies to the detriment of the USA. It was part of his bi-partisanship focus but a libera..socialist idea of bi-partisanship is "Let's compromise and do things my way."

There are actually quite a few more than just 57, many states include more than one Federal District, often a Northern and Southern or Eastern and Western, occasionally a Central to boot; and DC is a separate District of its own.

Yes, of course, plus the state AGs as well. The DUmpmonkie was assuming there was like one for each state- true, those appointed by the Govenor of teh State.
The true stupidity of the DUmpmonkie is shown by not understanding the concept at all, rather blathering on in un-knowing-ness, similar to our new retard, yabado.

Yes, California Orange County Lawyer (http://www.skbesq.com/) also want to know if why doesn't barry fire all teh Attorney Generals?

If Barry fired all the AGs because they belonged to a rival political predecessor what exactly would be the reason for seeking prosecution of Bush for firing the AG's of a rivaled political predecessor?
Just askin'.
-

Yep.
Same thing as Postmasters General or mothers-in-laws.
-

Yeah, but that's not what the dumbass is talking about.
The DUmbass is talking about US attorneys
-

Yep--and FWIW, there's 93 of them, not 59 or whatever number the DUmmies are tossing about like their Cheeto-stained junk.

Why doesn't Obama fire all the Republicans in the House and Senate too? That would make everything so much easier.

That reminds me of the time one of the Andy primitives--I forget which one, there's about three or four of them--asked why Pa Kettle in the White House didn't fire Harry Reid and Bela Pelosi.
He actually thought this could be done.
Stupid primitives. Really stupid primitives. Just really stupid primitives.

Doh!
I should have figured they wouldn't get that right either

Why can't this old, old thread, revived by a spam troll, be deleted?
