Fired Inspector General on President Obama; “He is a Liar”

June 17, 2009

  Gerald Walpin, the inspector general that President Obama fired last week is now going on the offensive and is firing back at the president. He is basically calling the president a liar.

  When the president fired Gerald Walpin, contrary to the law he failed to give specific reasons for the firing. After being pressured the president finally said that he fired  Walpin because he was old and senile. Not in those exact words but by claiming that Waspin was “disoriented” and “confused” there is no other conclusion to reach other than the fact that President Obama feels (at least publicly) that Waspin is too old to serve the public.

  Needless to say Gerald Walpin has taken these accusations personally and has called the president’s assertion that he is no longer fit to serve as “insufficient,” “baseless” and “absolutely wild.”

    Waspin went on to say the president’s claim is a total lie. He even went on to say that he would never say that Obama wasn’t fit to serve as president because he claimed the he had visited 56 states. A statement to me that made the president sound “disoriented” and “confused” yet the American people thought that he was sound enough to serve as president.

  The truth is that President Obama fired Waspin because he caught one of the president’s friends misspending federal money. Rather than standing up against fraud he decided that he must fire the person who discovered the fraud. The president has sided with his corrupt friend over the man who unearthed the fraud. And this is change?

  President Obama is now lying about the former inspector general, smearing a man whose only crime was exposing one of the president’s friends as a corrupt criminal. The president not only owes this man an apology, he owes him his job and his reputation back. Gerald Walpin has done nothing other than to serve his country and expose government corruption in an attempt to save taxpayers from government abuse and for that he has been labeled as a confused old man. This is an injustice.

  President Obama has abused his power in this instance to serve a personal vendetta and to top it off he is lying about his reasons for the firing, I find it appalling.

    This is truly troubling. One would think that the politically savvy Obama would avoid the appearance of inpropriety by finding something more legitimate and dirty about this guy who is investigating one of his supporters.

    Should no real smoking gun emerge, we can all break out the vaseline, as this will be the first steps toward a totalitarian regime that is going to take it to anyone who detracts from it.

    I’m sure he does not want his job back. Unless of course taking it back would stop some small amount of corruption. THis sounds like the definition of a “you can’t fire me, I quit” moment. From what I’ve heard Walpin say, he has integrity and scruples which is most likely why President Bush asked him to serve. IMO, that was a bonehead move by the POTUS, it proves to me that he is a coward and a bully.
