Congressional report: Obama did favors for poltical ally

November 21, 2009

   When Barack Obama fired Gerald Walpin he thought that it was going to be business as usual. He thought that he could just do whatever the hell he wanted to and nobody would question him, but the Gerald Walpin story is not going away.

  Barack Obama fired Gerald Walpin because he had uncovered corruption in one of Obama favorite organizations– AmeriCorps. This organization was also being run by one of Barack Obama’s friends and donor– former NBA star and current mayor of Sacramento Kevin Johnson. He fired him for clearly political reasons. Gerald Walpin was doing his job but when that job found that a Barack Obama friend and donor  was corrupt Obama decided to punish the messenger instead of the criminal.

  Barack Obama fired Gerald Walpin without the proper 30 day notice required under the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008– a bill that he was a co-sponsor of as senator. He also did not give a detailed reason to congress about the firing– also required by law. He basically said he fired Gerald Walpin for being a senile old man.

  Yesterday a congressional report was released that confirms Barack Obama may  used his position as president to help a political ally when he fired Gerald Walpin. These charges must be examined, there must be an investigation. Surely if the president has done nothing wrong he will welcome an investigation to clear his name.

  Gerald Walpin has asked for a congressional hearing on his firing and hopefully this congressional report will be the first step towards providing justice for Gerald Walpin.

  In a move that proves Walpin was right, AmeriCorp is in the process of paying back SOME of the money that he uncovered had been misused. But Walpin is still without his job and AmeriCorps is still not on the hook for the whole amount and nobody has been held accountable for the corruption–other that Gerald Walpin.

    Dear God, please protect this nation and give us the power to stand against Obama and his corruption, and give some righteous Patriots the insight to find and prosecute this SOB and lock him and his cronies up forever… Amen!

    I am quite familiar with this case and saw Gerald Walpin when he appeared on Beck. He will have little luck getting a congressional committee to look into it as all the chairman are Democrats with the exception of Liebermann and they all tow the party line. It is a disgrace and something needs to be done to correct this injustice. This is Chicago style politics at its “best”! Fred has it right–this is corruption, sadly nothing will be done.

    Who will investigate this? The same people that investigated Rangel, Dodd and Burris?

    I am afraid you are barking up the wrong tree on this one, Mr. Pink Eyes. There is not a chance in a very hot place that a real investigation is going to take place. The Obama administration and the Democrats are going to make sure that never happens.

    Don’t take your eye off the prize. Obama is what he is. It is, however, very important that we take his legs out, and we need to start now. Right up front, I am a volunteer for Bob Bestani. I am hoping that he will unseat Carol Shea-Porter. This is the second time in my life I have gotten involved at this level with poitics, and while I dont’t have a lot of respect for either party (I’m a registered Independent), the Democrats must be taken down. As a conservative, I am starting to have a visceral response when I see Obama-perhaps I am a victim of the Obama Derangement Syndrome. Nevertheless, let’s get back to a two party system. Pick a candidate and volunteer!!!
