He's Doing What?

Presumably to cover their own ethical deficiencies, Democrat leaders are doing precisely what they accused Bush of doing (but for them it's okay):

President Barack Obama plans to replace a "batch" of U.S. Attorneys in the next few weeks and more prosecutors thereafter, according to Attorney General Eric Holder.

"I expect that we’ll have an announcement in the next couple of weeks with regard to our first batch of U.S attorneys," Holder said Thursday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing which stretched out over most of the day due to breaks for members' votes. "One of the things that we didn’t want to do was to disrupt the continuity of the offices and pull people out of positions where we thought there might be a danger that that might have on the continuity--the effectiveness of the offices.But...elections matter--it is our intention to have the U.S. Attorneys that are selected by President Obama in place as quickly as they can."

Remember, President Bush got absolutely hammered for firing a few of the Democrat U.S. attorneys, despite the fact that Bill Clinton replaced all 93. The double standard couldn't be clearer here. The Democrats need to be held accountable for their actions on this issue.

There's my two cents.
