Surprised AP covered this in what looks like honest reporting.
IG's were created by Congress who have total independence from both Congress and the WH. Read Grassley's letter to Obama.
Openness in government??
we have Czars for crying out loud

Yeah, That was the problem..
That's why they had to fire him...
Thanks guyz. I think I understand this better.
nobama is a POS.
They must not have gotten their talking points yet. I'm sure that the party line will emerge over the weekend.
The AP must have lost the WH memo to ignore the story. On the other hand, the NY Times apparently received the message, loud and clear. As of close of business on Friday, the NYT's website doesn't make any mention of the story, at all.
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.
“Surprised AP covered this in what looks like honest reporting.”
Notice that the AP piece was ‘unattributed’.....no writer wanted to dare put their name on the report. That ought to tell us something.
Are journalists being threatened or intimidated as well now?
I’d prefer “Third World Bozo” but “Banana Republic” isn’t bad.
There is intimidation taking place right now in our country and only fools can not see it.
The apparent FACT that 400k of restitution was ordered certainly seems to validate the finding by the IG investigator that some type of malfeasance with taxpayer money took place.
The apparent FACT that the White House fired this man after making this finding against an Obama supporter creates many questions that beg an answer.
Let’s face reality though...... I hope the media covers this and the pundits opine about it but this is another story that will probably die. A story with these FACTS involving the Bush administration and congress would already be planning hearings.
IGs can’t be fired unless the President presents to congress a VALID reason for the firing, this is to prevent firing IGs for political reasons, the very reason this IG was fired with no reason given at all. It is the law and Bozo voted on it. We all know that Bozo doesn’t have to obey laws though don’t we?
There is a bad moon rising in this country. Very bad.
We have more Czars than did Czar Nicholas, and you know what happened to him and his family when Obama’s earliest mentors got hold of them.
However, due to a mistranslation, the correct word for Obama’s little Chekists is “Kommissars.”
I prefer czarina for the affirmative action figure, and czaristas for his lesser czars. The czaristas are federal oligarchs appointed and thus not answerable to the voting public directly ... which to liberals is good since the czarina-in-chief says he doesn’t want to be running anything.
that's the problem right there. there's no place for integrity in the Obama Admistration. They're goons.
Obamas days are numbered he is a flaming clown, the last one out of the car in the circus.

It seems more likely that America’s days are numbered. A nation that has descended far enough into the muck to allow something like the Obamanation to happen is like a Sabertooth cat caught in the LaBrea tar pits.
