Unless Bush gets rid of Michael Brown today or tomorrow
at the latest....

It will look as if he is dragging his feet....

Propping up an incompetent fool...

Democrats, everywhere, should be calling for this guys resignation...

That will only, of course, force Bush to defend his choice in the first place of such an incompetent boob.....

2. He's doing a "heck of a job"
There's almost zero chance Bush will fire him and admit a mistake.

5. There's a rule in business: you never sack someone under pressure
because that encourages the rabble to apply pressure in other situations.

Instead, you wait til things cool down, at which point you can sack them with some face-saving fiction, or promote them, or whatever.

This only applies to rabble pressure of course, not to pressure from a real constituency such as a major stockholder.

7. He should be tied to the whipping post.......
and mercilessly attacked by our side....

Of course Bush won't bow to presser and it will look like he is putting the incompetent friends over the good of the country

6. HEY! Its hard work...
<sarcasm>
What appears to be incompetence, callousness, disregard, and foot dragging is the natural by-product of hard work.

9. Don't hold your breath...
Part of the so-called "Bush doctrine: is NEVER admitting to a mistake. Firing one of your appointees would be a tcit admission of guilt. No, none of them will go down unless they ALL go down.

10. If you fire the appointee
The appointee takes the blame in their minds.
Letting someone go under pressure opens up the possibility of the blaming going higher up. As long as no one in the administration criticizes it republicans in congress have a valid excuse to back *
