The White House Fires a Watchdog
The curious case of the inspector general and a Presidential ally.

President Obama swept to office on the promise of a new kind of politics, but then how do you explain last week's dismissal of federal Inspector General Gerald Walpin for the crime of trying to protect taxpayer dollars? This is a case that smells of political favoritism and Chicago rules.

A George W. Bush appointee, Mr. Walpin has since 2007 been the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that oversees such subsidized volunteer programs as AmeriCorps. In April 2008 the Corporation asked Mr. Walpin to investigate reports of irregularities at St. HOPE, a California nonprofit run by former NBA star and Obama supporter Kevin Johnson. St. HOPE had received an $850,000 AmeriCorps grant, which was supposed to go for three purposes: tutoring for Sacramento-area students; the redevelopment of several buildings; and theater and art programs.

Mr. Walpin's investigators discovered that the money had been used instead to pad staff salaries, meddle politically in a school-board election, and have AmeriCorps members perform personal services for Mr. Johnson, including washing his car.

By "transparency", did Barry actually mean "fire anyone who desires it"?

This case does look very suspicious. If Bush had done this, there would have been howls throughout the halls of Congress calling for an investigation. Let's see if Grassley has the cojones to investigate.

Obama doesnt have to do anything to show transparency. Most people are either fat, stupid, ugly or desperate.... in other words they will believe what they WANT to believe, regardless of facts.



America is done with, trust me. The obamabots will get what they deserve through hyper-inflation and stagnant wages.

Obama's administration will go down in history as the most corrupt ever; after all, he received his political training in Chicago and is probably in-among-um.
