…When George Bush became President in 2001, a number of Clinton political appointees became civil service employees. As a result, they became subject to civil service hiring and firing rules, which meant they could no longer be replaced simply for having been a Democratic appointee.

Barack Obama is changing that. He intends to purge all Republicans from the federal bureaucracy retroactive to five years ago.

Did you even read the memo? No one is getting fired. They’re just not going to hire any more “embedders”. Happens during each election cycle when political appointees want to stay in government.
