What I am saying is that Bush appointed similar individuals with differing titles. I realize this is okay since he was "your guy", and I am not equating those appointees with the Obama-bunch. I am saying that what is being done appointment-wise has precedent and is within the scope of his powers until and unless it is challenged in SCOTUS.
Purplehood, I'm not trying to cut you off at the knees. While I voted for W2, I had many beefs with some of his actions, or lack therof. I supported several of the things he did too. I wouldn't go so far as to claim him as "my guy" either. He was much closer to the center of the pendulum swing for my taste, but he was certainly a far better choice than Gore or Edwards! But what gets me worked-up is when I hear Obama's actions being defended with the "well W did it" excuse. As I said before...Bush isn't a litmus test for what's right and wrong. We need to distance ourselves from that mindset. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it.
I guarantee that most of the conservatives on this forum had a major wrinkle in their shorts during the W2 years...starting with the border and the weak stance on illegal immigration. Looking the other way and softly saying "stop" ain't gonna get the job done.
