White House/AmeriCorps STONEWALLING Congressional Investigation Of Walpin Firing
Washington Examiner/The Lid ^ | 7/9/09 | The Lid

Posted on 07/09/2009 4:33:42 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

This nasty administration spent much time going after Gerald Walpin, who until a few weeks ago was the inspector general for AmeriCorps. Walpin's claim was that he was fired because he made the mistake of Investigation a friend of Obama (FOB), Kevin Johnson former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California, for the misuse of AmeriCorps funds.

Because he was investigating the president's friends, Walpin, whose position as an inspector general is supposed to be protected from political appointees and the White House, was fired. Pressed for a reasoning for the dismissal the Administration said the IG seemed "disoriented" at one meeting. But Walpin's version of the story was confirmed by a AmeriCorps board member who confirmed that he was fired to protect the Democrats from a political scandal.

Now Congressional investigators are getting involved, trying to figure out what really happened, but their investigation is being stonewalled by AmeriCorps and the White House:

The “representatives” of the people are anything but. Has anyone had any luck actually talking to one? Or, have you, like myself, wind up talking to their Chief of Staff instead?

WTF? There's no accessibility given to the public. They are like in their own little world. Except for the number of responsible legislators you can count on the fingers of one hand, all have sat quietly by, while BOZO breaks law after law after law.

It's like I'm watching a TV series with fake characters that are performing very real acts of madness.

The public does not want another stimulus bill, does not want universal health care, does not want cap & tax, does not want the Census taken over by the White House, does not want ACORN put in charge of the Census, does not want that criminal organization given any of our money, does not want any of our paid representatives to keep passing bills that they have not read.

But, who the f**k cares what the public wants? Not Washington! THEY may not be reading the legislation that's floating in and out of the hopper, but I have, and I never read a bigger bunch of bullsh*t than in the Universal Health Care Bill.

It reads like a high school dropout's last F- term paper.

If you thought that Obama’s speeches were vacuous, you haven't seen anything as vapid as HR676.

There are more “directors” to be created by this bill than there are in Hollywood and Ballywood combined. Everyone is a chief, with nary an Indian, and the Big Kahuna gets to have the final word on everything.

Seriously, if Ted Kennedy wrote this, he must have been drunk, stoned and asleep at the time. It takes real talent to write something this pathetic.

Did anyone in Congress actually read it and comment on it, other than to wonder how much it will cost?

This is “pie in the sky” without the pie.

Been talking to friends outside the USA. NONE of them can understand what is happening here. I have heard everything from, “Why aren’t you people in the streets like in Iran?” to, “Don’t Americans care about what is happening to their country?”

I find myself having to search my own soul for the answers to these, and many other, questions. I tell them that most Americans are still operating under the rule, “Politics as usual.”

Under that rule, they believe that America can fix itself as soon as this administration is out of office. It just doesn’t seem possible...(yet,) that what IS happening could ever happen here.

Most Americans are stunned and cannot get their minds around the profound changes that have already taken place here.

Before anyone can grasp any one thing, there is another thing taking its place. It’s like whiplash of the mind. There is so much chaos the public has to deal with, that by the time they FEEL the real results of what they are seeing, it will be too late to do anything about it.

By the time we decide there must be action, our lines of communication and our access to one another will be severely limited, restricted, or nonexistent.

This is not “politics as usual.” THIS is a coup...and a very thorough one. It was very well planned long before obama ever took to the campaign trail. He is the chosen instrument of our destruction.

We can shout it all day long from the rooftops. Very few are listening. There is just too much background noise.

Great graphic, but not NEARLY evil enough. We are entering a literal hell on earth. Did you watch the slideshow?

It’s like whiplash of the mind.

I told my son a few weeks ago that I feel like I'm on overload, mind and emotions over all this. You're right, there is a new "crisis" or bill or something every day. We are being bombarded.

I have also said from day one that I will be surprised if we ever have another real election. He is being set up to be Dictator in Chief and the puppet masters are doing a good job making it happen.

When I've talked to my husband and friends about some of these things, they say that it would never happen here, that the people wouldn't stand for it. I'm afraid that by the time the people wake up to it, it will be too late.

Well, conservatives don’t naturally take up guns and home made bombs and start using them. I think the first violence will come from the administration. After all, the American Revolution was years in the making, and the British fired the first shots.

Obama and his stooges like to claim that there are a lot of right-wing terrorists out there. There aren’t. There are a lot of right-wing patriots, who are naturally slow to take up arms against what had until recently been their own country.

Dr. POlarik, the democrat party takes as a mandate for their Marxist agenda the 53% victory in the last election. Bush won by 52% but that was far from a mandate don'tchaknow. But let's analyze the 'mandate' notion.

When one looks at the votes which amounted to a 53% win, we see a vast array of mindless drone votes(herded to the polls by the community organizers who herd but do not teach--and our democrat Congress has appropriated billions to pay these herders of sheep for their loyal service to 'D-hood'), perhaps hundreds of thousands of non-existant people voting (cartoon and comic book characters, the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, and the rolls of cemetaries around cities like Chicago and Philadelphia), and a whole lot of 'he has a "D" after his name and I'm a "D" so I vote for him' mentality (primarily Catholic in name only and American Jewish vote).

I would venture to guess that less than ten percent of those voting for the affirmative action figure actually had even the faintest clue as to what this fraudulent liar wanted to do with this nation, and those only because they have a Marxist agenda they want ruling Amerika.

The Constitutional Republic has limped to an end over a period of decades, but the promotion of an affirmative action figure by setting aside Constitutional restrictions was the final nail into the coffin of we the people.

Amerika is now a federal oligarchy. It will remain that even if Republicans take back the House and Senate, because neither party will give up that final ascent to ultimate power not answering to the people while they hold office. Once a politician gets elected, the vast majority of them--and ALL DEMOCRATS--believe they have risen above the 'we the people' category and are then rulers of the realm.

We are DELIBERATELY being bombarded. The more off kilter we are, the easier it is to keep driving us towards the cliff. It is no longer a matter of it can’t happen here. It IS happening here. So many empires that could never fall....
until they did.
This was such a well laid plan, highly structured from within, directed from without, that we have virually no recourse left to us now. Our courts are worthless and useless. The Constitution has been completely ignored. We the people are being totally ignored by the very people who begged, borrowed, and stole our electoral system in congress. There is nowhere to go to redress our grievances.
Americans are slowly but surely finding that out.
Imagine the enormity of that. We have nowhere to go to redress our grievances.

“I think the first violence will come from the administration.”

The violence started long before election day. We didn’t CALL it violence, but what ELSE can you call an attack on the very heart and soul of America? The underpinnings of our entire culture has been under sustained attack for decades. It is culminating now.
I can envision no more serious violence than the literal shredding, under our noses, of The Constitution of the United States of America.
Did they really need to fire shots to have declared war on us? Do they really need to fire shots before we recognize it?
The way they have gone about this makes shooting at us seem tame by comparison. At least we would have something to shoot back at. But for them, no shots are necessary. We are already mortally wounded.

When our government labels average citizens as "terrorists" because they are against Congress passing economy-destroying, freedom-robbing, pork-laden legislation that they don't even read first, you know that we've got a bunch of money-grubbing megalomaniacs running it, and the country, into the ground.

To top it all off, we have a "President" who judges his actions by his popularity index instead of the misery index that defined Jimmy Carter so well. Obama is Carter on steroids.
