simple ... he identified corruption and fired a friend of Obama, so Obama forced him to resign and now he is telling all. So Obama and team are saying he was no longer "fit" for the job. But the real reason is that he would not look the other way and go along with the Chicago politics and corruption that is through the BO administration.

Have seen this happen before. Inspector writes report, ticks someone off and then the Inspector is history. Not unique to the Obama Administration which is why some things don't change. This is the way Washington works.

Yeah, you don't want to step too far out of the box. I suspect he was told to change it, he didn't and passed it to Congress. You'll probably see him on 60 Minutes in the Fall. It's a shame, but it happens at all levels.

Would I be wasting my time if I went back to see what the gang was posting 2 or 3 years ago regarding the US Attorney firings?

which ones ... the ones bill and hillary did and no one said anything about? Or the ones under Bush that everyone made a big deal about?
You realize Clinton fired more than bush?

So did Carter, so did Reagan, and for that matter Andrew Jackson but at the beginning of their administrations. Actually they asked for resignations of persons appointed in the previous administration and many were quickly reappointed to the same positions. This is typical for many govermental appointive posts in all administrations and it has been the custom through history. Bush fired men and women he had himself appointed earlier in his presidency. He did it in the middle of his administration for political reasons. It probably was legal as was obama's firing of the IG. Your refusal and/or inability to ever answer a simple question is becomming more and more obvious.

what is your point? People try to respond directly to your illogical posts, then you come back and make the same point and say your post was not addressed.
Try to follow me here ... you came back and talked about Bush firing US attorneys ... I pointed out that was not unique and has been done by many presidents. You respond making the same point and say i did not address your point. Too funny.
Do you look in the mirror and argue with yourself. You have to be a total failure in business since I can not imagine anyone actually paying for your thoughts or advice.

Archie, I thought the Messiah was all about changing the way Washington works? Thats what you and the other mind-numbed liberals all told us last fall. Our response was he was a corrupt Chicago-machine politician and that they only change was going to be a lurch to socialism. So, we were right and you and the other sycophants were either 1) duped, or 2) lying to us. Which is it?
The only ones I feel any sympathy for were the ones that were duped. It's not that they weren't warned but they succumbed to BDS or some other reason.
As the fog lifts from my eyes and the economy continues to decay because Obama is a socialist intent on destroying our economic vitality in exchange for perpetual power for statists his approval numbers will continue to fall. He is simply way over his head and is wrong about almost everything.

You are the one that made the point (comparison). I illustrated that tour comparison was invalid, How can you be so inattentive to the words of my post as to come back and say I'm the one refusing to answer your point?

Have any of you gone back to my post above and followed its suggestion. Go to "talkingpointsmemo.com". Most of you guys refuse to even show an interest in getting to the facts unless they come from Fox or Rush "the Hindenburg*" Limbaugh.

they need to call it liberal talking points.
It is so funny to read your posts ... just because you can not think for yourself and want the government to make more of your decisions, you automatically think others must get their point of view from somewhere else.
NEWS FLASH ... most conservatives and republicans are very independent minded and don't need or want others, including the media or government thinking for us or making our decisions.
I guess you consider Fox news conservative because they give both sides of an issue vs the liberal media that only gives your point of view. As for Rush, I personally have not listened to him in 5 years. Not because I do not like him, just that when he is on I am normally at work. Republicans work because we do not need or want government "taking care of us".
Every one of your posts are filled with hate for those that do not think like you. Why not respond to the post as to what you love so much about Obama and his policies and the direction he is taking the country? Be specific ... and don't forget to say when you will say he was successful or was a failure ... what do you need to see. I personally clearly laid out where I think he is going wrong and what I expect it will result in.
So now its your turn ... what do you think he is doing right and when do you think it will lead us. If it does not will you admit he is a failure and wrong for this country or will you continue to worship him like a God? I know I said if I hope I am wrong in my view and what is to come, and will gladly admit that I was. Unfortunately I don't think I am.

Are you searching the liberal blogs to be able to respond to the question that you were presented. It is not a trick question and should not be difficult ... just looking for your thoughts. I and many others have shared our issues with BO and the direction he is going. So what is it that you love and support so much? How will you define success in your mind? What needs to happen to say what he is doing is right for the country? At what point if that does not happen will you admit he is a failure?
Come on these should be very easy questions for you. I know you can do it. I am sure many would like to hear your view.

(1) I work too and can't find the time to post my "laughable" comments at 1:45 in the afternoon the way you seem to be able too. (2) You threw out a disjointed pile of nonsense questions which I have no intention of responding to until you answer at least one of mine. Something you have yet to do and i'm not holding my breath in expectation of a change. (3) I wish this forum had more exposure nationwide because most of the posters (and you are perhaps the champion) are poster children for demonstrating how off the wall goofy the extreme right really is.

ever posting your real thoughts ... gee maybe thats because you don't have any. It is a lot easier for you just to criticize others as you worship Obama and his socialist policies ... but never saying what you support, where you think it will lead us and if it doesn't that it was a failure.
So sad that you can't think for yourself.
Yeah I do post sometimes in the afternoon. Fortunately I have been very successful in life and have a very nice office with a great staff. I provide leadership and direction as well as mentor and develop my people so they can be more successful in life. That does give me time to take breaks to check stocks and relpy to your illogical posts. But I was working hard yesterday ... i made a presentation to the BOD that lasted almost 3 hours. Went very well so I should get a very fat bonus that I will use a talented tax attorney to figure out how I can send as little as possible to washington. Have you heard about making a contribution today that will reduce your taxes, but does not have to be paid until you die?
I worked hard to get to where I am and don't want the liberal whinners taking it away from me because they were not as successful and think my wealth should be shared.

Drone bees like Archie really resent people like you and I that have worked hard, taken risks and achieved something in our lives. The worker bees never really understand how we can arrange our businesses and our lives such that we can pursue our outside interests and still be financially and professionally successful. Remember comrade, we have only achieved what we have on the backs of the worker........the proletariat (Archie: the lower social classes) will rise up and smite us down so we can all live in a workers paradise. Of course, the fact that there will be no jobs when the achievers no longer have an incentive to produce is merely a side issue........
