Obama Firing Of Inspector General
Completely Motivated By Politics

Remember when W. Bush fired...what was it, nine Attorneys General...and how The Left shot blood, fire and feces out of their eyes over it? No accusation was too outrageous to make of it, according to the Rabid Inbred Liberals.



Well, The Left is sure mum over Barack Hussein Obama, Junior's firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin, aren't they? So very quiet. Yahoo News:

    An inspector general fired by President Barack Obama said Friday he acted "with the highest integrity" in investigating AmeriCorps and other government-funded national service programs. Gerald Walpin said in an interview with The Associated Press that he reported facts and conclusions "in an honest and full way" while serving as inspector general at the Corporation for National and Community Service.

    In a letter to Congress on Thursday, Obama said he had lost confidence in Walpin and was removing him from the position.

    Walpin defended his work on Friday. "I know that I and my office acted with the highest integrity as an independent inspector general should act," he said.

    Obama's move follows an investigation by Walpin finding misuse of federal grants by a nonprofit education group led by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who is an Obama supporter and former NBA basketball star. Johnson and a nonprofit education academy he founded ultimately agree to repay half of $847,000 in grants it had received from AmeriCorps.

    Walpin was criticized by the acting U.S. attorney in Sacramento for the way he handled the investigation of Johnson and St. HOPE Academy.

    "It is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as inspectors general," Obama said in the letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Vice President Joe Biden, who also serves as president of the Senate. "That is no longer the case with regard to this inspector general."

    [...]

    Walpin had identified millions of dollars in AmeriCorps funds that were wasted or misspent and "it appears he has been doing a good job."

    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.

    In August 2008, Walpin referred the matter to the local U.S. attorney's office, which said the watchdog's conclusions seemed overstated and did not accurately reflect all the information gathered in the investigation.

    "We also highlighted numerous questions and further investigation they needed to conduct, including the fact that they had not done an audit to establish how much AmeriCorps money was actually misspent," Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence Brown said in an April 29 letter to the federal counsel of inspectors general.

    Walpin's office made repeated public comments just before the Sacramento mayoral election, prompting the U.S. attorney's office to inform the media that it did not intend to file any criminal charges.

    In settling the case, the government agreed to lift its suspension of any future grants to the academy and Johnson agreed to immediately repay $73,000 in past grants. The academy was given 10 years to repay the remaining $350,000.

The message is clear: don't fuck with those who contribute to The Kenyan and don't investigate any wrongdoing by anyone who is a FOTK...Friend of The Kenyan.

Transparency? Oh, there's all sorts of it in this story. What's transparent is how Corrupt The Kenyan is and how dutifully silent his Cultists are. Of course, most of us knew this a long, long time ago.

I'm sorry to take some of your time but you must go read this amazing insight about Obama's politics on Howard Galganov's blog:

http://www.galganov.com/editorials.asp?id=1137

It's called another 3 and a half year and it's not a horror movie, but it's even scarier, scary as Hell dropping down on Earth.

Shame on the mindless leftists.
 
"FOTK...Friend of The Kenyan."

Fuck Obama the Kenyan, I'd say indeed!!!
 
Next stop for Walpin... FEMA Labor Camp. It's like Disneyland with typhus.
 
Tym, no prob. Thanks for the link to Galganov. You mentioned him before and linked to something he had written and it was excellent. I will read the newest link later tonight.
So far, I like what he has written.
 
Tym -

FOTK! Hey, you came up with a good one! I like it!
 
Molson,
Next stop for Walpin... FEMA Labor Camp. It's like Disneyland with typhus.

No shit! He'll end up renditioned to some shithole gulag set up by Pbama and we'll never hear from him again. Then he'll be found in Ft. Marcy park in ten years with his shoes off, in his stocking feet...well, you know the drill. Er, not drill, "Cover-up."
