The O cabal will stonewall this and the kneepadders in the msm will help him ignore the issue.
"Some 145 of them, including political foes, have written Congress and the White House to refute attacks on his integrity in the controversy over why he was fired by the Obama administration.
can't be ignored. 0bama thinks he is above explaining his lies and corruption. If this is kept in the news it won't go away.

He was fired after doing a good job exposing corruption by one of Obama's friends
This is the perfect, repeat perfect, example of the failure of the new journalism to protect the public interest. The media in general should be all over this story like a bulldog on raw meat. There are obviously conflicting points of view, the potential for coverup is obvious, there is damage to an individual’s reputation, and the trail leads right into the Oval Office. The story reeks of cronyism, corruption and malfeasance. However, the media is involved in a cover-up of its own to protect its political protege. And the worst offender is the McClatchy newspaper chain whose flagship is located in Sacramento.
Try doing a search in AP news about this. I will in a minute.
I think it was Bob Scheiffer who said that it doesn’t matter if the mainstream media is biased because there are so many other sources of news these days.
An acknowledgement that the msm has become advocacy journalism and he’s just fine with that..
The problem is that they still have a reach that non-mainstream sources can only dream about.
Yes, absolutely correct. Note that Paul Bedard has no trouble placing disputed facts or opinions in quotes, yet cannot bear to walk off the Obama plantation.
Jobs are at stake, eh Paul?
” “Some 145 of them, including political foes, have written Congress and the White House to refute attacks on his integrity in the controversy over why he was fired by the Obama administration.”
Throw that in with Glen Beck’s on air senility test and Mr O has some serious explaining to do.
P.S. Where’s AARP on this one. I think Walprin qualifies...
The law of unintended consequences is helping us. With the switch from analog many many older folks with older TV sets are unable to receive the mainstream broadcasters.
Some of the steep drop in viewers of the alphabet news is attributed to the inability to receive those stations.
Music to my ears.
They state this as a fact. It should be: Gerald Walpin, the former AmeriCorps inspector general who was fired after Obama toadies claimed he appeared confused at a meeting,
“The media in general should be all over this story like a bulldog on raw meat.”
Should be, and COULD be. After all, in the twinkling of an eye they post every word of those sordid Sanford emails while their female news readers pitch hissy fits over Sanford’s stunt. Oh yeah, they’re REAL efficient when they WANT to be. I wanted to slap whichever CNN newsreader flipped her wig castigating Sanford when much BIGGER stories that are actually harmful to the entire country go ignored.
“Throw that in with Glen Becks on air senility test and Mr O has some serious explaining to do.”
All this from a party who supposedly is outraged when ageism and racism exist in any form in the workplace. Walprin can run intellectual circles around the whole lot of them. Of course, that’s not hard to do . . .
The Sacramento Bee (McCaltchy) seemed to cover Johnson and St. HOPE Academy with glee. As to the continuing fallout (Walpin's disagreement with the settlement, burying the corruption via firing Walpin) I haven't seen much at all.
They should mention that what they are viewing is commentary opinion and not fair and balanced news based on the consideration of all facts.
Thanks.
