Walpingate
Recapping: Inspector General
Gerald Walpin was unfairly and illegally terminated
by none other, than Obama himself.
Hours earlier, Sen. Claire McCaskill, (Dem MO) criticized Obama for failing to specify why he fired Walpin – a stipulation Sen Barack Obama put into a bill he authored. He certainly knew the procedure since he put it into law!!
"The White House has failed to follow the proper procedure in notifying Congress as to the removal of the Inspector General," McCaskill said in a statement. "The legislation … passed last year requires that the president give a reason for the removal. ‘Loss of confidence’ is not a sufficient reason."
The proper procedure to remove any inspector general requires 30-days notice, plus reason given to Congress.
Walpin’s terrible deed was to investigate a "friend" of Obama’s (Kevin Johnson) who misused $850,000 in taxpayer funds distributed by AmeriCorps to the St. HOPE Academy of Sacramento. His referral to the U.S. Attorney’s Office did not result in the filing of criminal charges (gee, I wonder why??) — BUT St. HOPE officials agreed to repay half of its AmeriCorps grants. Guess they would not have done that if Johnson were innocent, huh? So IG Gerald Walpin was correct!
Republicans also want a look at what Michelle Obama has to do with this because … press reports already indicated Michelle was taking a strong interest in AmeriCorps activities, AND her former chief of staff, Jackie Norris, became a "senior adviser" to AmeriCorps. (article) Barack could not allow that!
from Politics
It gets murkier and murkier… let us not forget that this is the same Barack Obama who shut down a radio call show to stop unfavorable remarks. His thugs, his own SA or "brown Shirts" are Acorn people – and others. The corrupt and foul Chicago political machine has taken up residence in the White House. The tactics are the same and should NOT be tolerated – ever! By anyone!
Total Abuse of Power
President Obama wanted to get rid of a pesky Inspector General named Gerald. Gerald was a good guy, just going about his business and doing his job – to investigate misuse of taxpayer money.
One day, Gerald got too close to the truth at AmeriCorps where $850,000 was missing. He wanted to get to the truth of this when he was given one hour to resign – or be fired.
Curious thing though, the man who fired him, also wrote a law last year saying that no Inspector Generals could be fired — not without 30 days notice and a reason given to Congress. I do not think that was accomplished in that one short hour. What do you think?
Then this mean man slandered poor Gerald saying he was "confused" and "disoriented." Shame on Obama!
Gerald is a fighter, though and will not let this happen. He is not retreating into the woodwork as Obama wants him too.
Go Gerald!!
Go Gerald!!
Go Gerald!!
Talk about character assassination! Talk about ageism! If Walpin worked at any other agency, he have grounds for a lawsuit! Discrimination!! AND if Obama worked at any other business and said that about a co-worker, he’d be fired.
And he should be fired. From his current job.
"I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me," Walpin said.
Bad Obama. Bad.
