alansmithee, there are positions which get appointed by the President and vacated when the President leaves office. So yeah, a lot of those people will be gone in 2009. Because they were appointees for only Bush's administration.
The point with this conference is that the delegates were non-partisan, for a non-partisan meeting on a non-partisan issue. Bush actually deselected appointees because they had the temerity to not support him. Nobody asked him to send x number of Dems or Repugs. This was something that should barely even be on his radar. The people selected were going because they were the best qualified to go. In essence, Bush sent less qualified people to the conference because they supported him instead of Kerry. If he had removed more qualified white people from the commission in favor of less qualified minorities, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you'd bitch and moan about affirmative action.
What he did is WRONG.
