WASHINGTON -- Responding to criticism from a Senate Democratic ally, President Obama explained why he fired the Inspector General of the AmeriCorps without the 30-day notification required by law, calling Gerald Walpin so "confused" and "disoriented" that there was reason to question "his capacity to serve."
In a letter to the bipartisan leaders of the Senate Committee that oversees AmeriCorps, Obama listed these alleged defects in Walpin's leadership as an Inspector General.
* Removed after unanimous request from the AmeriCorps board of directors
* At May, 20, 2009, board meeting Walpin "was confused, disoriented and unable to answer questions and exhibited behavior that led the board to question his capacity to serve."
* The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California complained about Walpin's conduct to the IG oversight board and alleged he withheld exculpatory evidence.
* Walpin had "been absent from the Corporation's headquarters, insisting upon working from his home in New York over the objection" of the board.
* He "exhibited a lack of candor in providing material information to decision makers."
* He "engaged in other troubling and inappropriate conduct."
* He "had become unduly disruptive to agency operations, impairing his effectiveness."

You're being insulting to evil.
I smell red herrings!
Hard to believe the devil would stoop this low.
IOW, he was using words not part of approved Obamaspeak.
I suppose that sovereign immunity applies here, but for anyone else, this is slander.
This is why Congress exempts itself from the assanine laws it passes to control American business. If the CEO (Obama) or the Board of Directors (Congress) had said this about an employee they’ve just let go, they’d have a civil lawsuit on their hands.
Unbelievable....I’ve heard interviews with this guy....he was NOT in any way “disoriented” or “confused.” And, I don’t think he’s going to take this lying down....
I hope this Walpin guy will immediately sue for slander or whatever. OMG..what is happening in this country?
The list, ping
I smell a defamation lawsuit in the offing, and Obama is going to get crushed personally. He is not immune. He is not a legislator and there is no immunity for presidents.
In other words...no TELEPROMPTER was present?
Go on every talk show and spit out the truth now while we still can...Then get the movie rights stamped and go visit Mel Gibson and have him make the movie...
BTTT
Sounds like he’s talking about Tim Geithner.
I think we’re about to see the inauguration of the Stalinist use of psychiatric wards.
“Removed after unanimous request from the AmeriCorps board of directors “
Here’s the reason. The other BS is just that.
He smelled corrupt RATS. There's nothing wrong with his nose.

Speculation is growing that Gen. Jim Jones will not last long as President Obama’s national security adviser because of the retired Marine general’s supposedly poor performance.
Several White House and National Security Council sources told FOX News that the Obama administration is baffled by Jones, who is a longtime friend of Sen. John McCain, the man Obama defeated for the White House. One NSC staff member claimed that Jones is so forgetful that at times he appears to have Alzheimer's disease.
We now have a reason to FIRE OBAMA!!!
