Purge the Foxes in the Henhouse!!

By Rob Kall


Fire the Industry Friendly Bush Appointees Still Defending Industries Instead of Americans!!

We now know, with some certaintly that Bush appointed, Oil and Coal Industry friendy MMS administrators ignored regulations and gave broad passes to BP, Massey and other companies. They failed to implement and require meeting of regulations in place.

Obama has still not removed these miscreant, if not criminal appointees, from their jobs. It's very, tragically late, but better late than never.

President Obama should appoint a special team to identify and remove the remaining Bush political appointees and the former political appointees who, near the end of Bush's disastrous presidency, were shifted, inappropriately to civil service positions.

That team should identify foxes guarding the henhouse, including foxes appointed by Obama, like Ken Salazar, who should also go.

The American people were betrayed by George W. Bush appointment of thousands of industry-friendly foxes guarding henhouses, happily following Bush administration policies to not require adherence to regulations.

The Obama administration, by failing to clear out the Bush rats nest, also betrayed the American people's trust. I'm not talking about just oil drilling and coal mining. The Justice Department is still loaded with toxic Bush time bombs Eric Holder has failed to remove and or replace and I am sure there are thousands more spread throughout all all the agencies that are supposed to protect we the people.

1. Boy Howdy, ain't THAT the truth!.. Bunches of the fuckers

burrowed down into the civilian work force where they continue to fuck stuff up and make sure that "government solutions never work"..

(I think they are treasonous.)

5. And they're getting paid for it by the taxpayers

Nice cushy salaries. Generous lifetime pension and benefits and all. Yes, treasonous is the word.

7. If they were appointed & hired during the Bush years..They are

FERS. Not CSRS. i.e. no "cushy pension"

That changed some 25 years ago, I think.

This is a tangible, proactive step that Obama should take.

because the Bush legacies are like cancer injected into the body politic.

8. little or no chance,

though it needs to be a loud and consistent demand. Maybe they'll toss a few under the bus for PR reasons.

9. Don't forget Treasury

Timmy Geithner and his minions of foxes and coyotes should also take a hike.

10. Don't forget Justice.

Remember Don Siegelman and Richard Scrushy are convicts while Smirk, Sneer, Rumsferatu, Condescenda and a whole bunch of warmongers run free.

11. Don't forget the Pentagon.
