Walpin-gate: Obama fires an IG (who was investigating a crony)
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 06/14/2009 7:18:37 PM PDT by Abakumov

Congress ought to open an investigation, New York Times editorialists should be in a state of apoplexy, and MSNBC hosts ought to be frothing at the mouth. Without appropriate documentation or good reason, President Obama has fired a federal investigator who was on the case against a political ally of the president's. Mr. Obama's move has the stench of scandal.

This is a huge story, if it gets enough exposure.

Obama cronies playing fast and loose with Americorps money. And then choosing to repay the money to avoid trials of kickbacks, graft and corruption.

Gee. Like we didn’t see this coming. And it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Obviously whomever wrote this hasn't heard about those Israeli settlements or our need to work with Iran's ally Russia to help us prevent nuclear weapons proliferation in the Moslem world.

Like many other things, Obama cannot legally remove an Inspector General without the APPROVAL OF CONGRESS.

Whether congress will object remains to be seen. But his action in removing him without notifying congress and without giving a good reason WAS ILLEGAL.

Michelle Malkin pointed out that Barry’s lovely wife is probably heavily involved in this, too. She’s all over the Americorps/”volunteer” service thing, and just appointed her former chief of staff to be a sort of “czar” for this. Since when did a First Lady (well, she ain’t no lady) get to appoint anybody to anything?

In any case, I think, as usual, the whole corrupt Obama family is involved in this.

It’s also illegal because the current POTUS doesn’t fufill the eligibility requirements of the Constitution.

This action of Obama’s needs to be persued by every Conservative Blogger, every Conservative talk-radio host, every Conservative news outlet until the Left is forced to address it.

By the time the Left does address it with their spins and lies, the truth will be in place already waiting for them.

He won’t. He’s too busy getting spanked in a back room of PMSNBCS&M by some chick at the network with an attitude and wearing horn-rimmed glasses.

The IG is fired for doing his job. This is typical of narcissistic totalitarian dictators like Obama.
