STONEWALLING: Obama Blocks Investigation of Firing of AmeriCorps IG Walpin
Various/The Lid ^ | 12/23/09 | The Lid

...Since Obama made that speech on January 21, it has been clear that President must have had his fingers crossed underneath the podium, because openness has been missing from this administration.

The latest example of Presidential cover-up has do do with the firing of Gerald Walpin. Until a few months Walpin was the Inspector General for AmeriCorps. He claims he was fired because he made the mistake of Investigation a friend of Michelle Obama (FOO) Kevin Johnson, former NBA star who is now mayor of Sacramento, California, for the misuse of AmeriCorps funds.

Pressed for a reasoning for the dismissal the Administration trashed Walpin hinting that he was in the early stages of dementia. They said the IG seemed "disoriented" at one meeting. 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.

A GOP report contends that the Obama White House was politically motivated when it fired inspector general Gerald Walpin after his 2008 investigation of Kevin Johnson, now Sacramento's mayor and friend of the First Lady. The report by Rep Issa and Senator Grassley criticizes the White House ethics counsel, for not examining what Walpin had been investigating at the time of his dismissal, including the allegations of sexual misconduct by Johnson and hush-money payoffs by his now-fiancee Michelle Rhee.

New Evidence released earlier this month is that the First Lady's former Chief of Staff Jackie Norris, met with Alan Solomont of Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps in an attempt to keep the scandal away from Michelle Obama.

The Senate is investigating the charges and wanted Ms Norris to testify, but our President, Mr. Transparency is refusing to allow her to talk to congress.

Obama actually does what liberals falsely accuse the Bush administration of doing. It is sick how the media ignores these stories. This is more corrupt than anything Bush ever dreamed about doing.

I know some of you, okay, most of you, think differently, but so help me, I see 9bama and his clique of czars slowing becoming unraveled. Slowly, but it’s happening.

Keep up the pressure. Keep up the good work.
