President Obama Fired an Inspector General for Political Reasons
Last week the president fired Gerald Walpin, an inspector general, who the president claimed he lost faith in. There was no other reason given although according to law the president must inform the senate of the specific reasons for the firing to ensure that the firing was not politically motivated.
But the president has refused to offer any specific reasons for the firing other than a loss of confidence. That leaves us to speculate to the possible reason for the firing and it sounds like it was politically motivated.
Gerald Walpin had been investigating Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who just happens to be a supporter of the president, and AmeriCorps for misuse of funds. AmeriCorps is an organization that the president believes strongly in having already signed legislation tripling the size of the organization.
Walpin found that Kevin Johnson had been paying VOLUNTEERS, (I guess the term “volunteer” just doesn’t mean what it used to.), to run his errands for him.
The inspector general found that Johnson, a former all-star point guard for the Phoenix Suns, had used AmeriCorps grants to pay volunteers to engage in school-board political activities, run personal errands for Johnson and even wash his car.
AmeriCorps in now in the process of paying back $350,000 in misspent money, a fraction of the millions that Walpin found they abused, and the man who brought the scandal to light is looking for a new job. Without a proper explanation given it certainly looks on the surface as if this was nothing but a politically motivated firing. Instead of being congratulated for finding and putting a stop to corruption he was fired for his efforts.
Walpin had the nerve to investigate a program that the president believes strongly in, and the fact that he found wrongdoing within the organization is secondary to the actual crime that was committed in the president’s eyes– investigating AmeriCorps in the first place.
The president is required by law to inform Congress of the reasons for this firing, if he does not do so than it is time to open up a full investigation into this matter. Alberto Gonzalez ended up resigning over much the same issue. I am not asking for anything other than full and equal treatment in this case. Somebody needs to be held accountable.
America's Watchtower 
I first heard this story today on Glenn Beck, where is the MSM on this!
What a joke they are turning out to be, really sad. This bunch in Washington are consolidating power at an unbelievable rate and the masses, the MSM are at best just standing by and at worst cheering the onrushing tidal wave that will sweep everything before it. Few voices are raising the alarm and even fewer are listening as everyone is going about their daily activities freedoms are slipping away at an alarming rate. A great sucking sound is coming from 1600 PA ave. and its not Obama and a banana.

It is amazing what the MSM is willing to overlook with this president, compaired to what they did to President Bush. Everything is alright in their eyes as long as the president is a Democrat.

Oh come on, where’s the fun in being King if you can’t throw your weight around a little?
That’s sarcasm for you trolls.
Not funny though, because what we have is more like a tyrannical king than a president. And an immature, inexperienced, self righteous, arrogant boy king at that. But he is just what the liberals in charge wanted, someone whom they could manipulate and use to further their agenda. Make no mistake, Obama is bad enough himself, but he is just the face of the beast. Just the poisonous mushroom blooming on top of this deadly pile of shit that controls Washington. Please pardon the mixing of metaphors.
It’s time to clean up gentlemen. Time to take back our country by whatever means necessary.
