You don’t actually look into what 0bama’s projects are doing. Silly IG. That’s how you get fired in a banana republic.
Openness in government is not a strong suit of this Administration.
Plus, the law protecting Inspector Generals’ was an ethics topic in his speeches and he voted for it. Then he violated it with this action.
Don’t think we’ll see a trial though for braking the law.
.....another white guy gets fired by the little emperor?
Nothing new here, the same old Double Standard.
The IG (Walpin) 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.
The U.S. attorney's office reached a settlement that requires the St. HOPE Academy to repay nearly $424,000 almost half of the $850,000 it received in return for the government lifting its suspension on future grants.
Brown said at the time of the settlement that prosecutors determined there was no fraud, but rather a culture of "sloppiness" in St. HOPE's record-keeping.
Kevin Hiestand, chairman of the board of St. HOPE Academy, said in a statement it was "about time" Walpin was removed. "Mr. Walpin's allegations were meritless and clearly motivated by matters beyond an honest assessment of our program," he said.
Yea, thats why you reached a settlement to pay almost half of it back to sweep it under the rug.
Another source says Michelle is now running the corporation.
Pardon my ignorance. Does IG Walpin serve at the president’s pleasure?
That is exactly the problem. Acting with integrity is not part of O’s agenda.
(1) A former NBA star is involved.
(2) The President appears to have tried to bully Walpin into a quick resignation.
(3) The accused Inspector General was investigating a big Obama supporter.
(4) The acting US Attorney is accusing the Inspector General of misconduct.
(5) The accused agency has agreed to pay back $400,000 to the government and made no effort to deny wrongdoing.
(6) No one involved has a clean exit strategy, so there will be a lot of the "he said / she said" dialog that talking heads love to play.
Get out your popcorn.
Surprised AP covered this in what looks like honest reporting.
Yeah, That was the problem..
That's why they had to fire him...
Obama and the democrats are drunk with power and now have no fear of being held up to any scrutiny or law. Why would they? The american media is now corrupted beyond hope or redemption.
Obama is free to ignore our constitution, break campaign laws, intimidate opponents and confiscate private property.
He and the democrats have put the peddle to the medal of outright fascism now.
that's the problem right there. there's no place for integrity in the Obama Admistration. They're goons.
