Fired IG Calls White House Explanation 'Baseless,' Says He's Being Targeted
Foxnews ^ | 6/17/2009 | Staff

Posted on 06/17/2009 8:37:54 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The government watchdog President Obama canned for allegedly being "confused" and "disoriented" fired back sharply Wednesday, saying the White House explanation for removing him was "insufficient," "baseless" and "absolutely wild."

Gerald Walpin, who until last week was the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, told FOXNews.com that part of Obama's explanation was a "total lie" and that he feels he's got a target on his back for political reasons.

"I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me," Walpin said.

----

"I would never say President Obama doesn't have the capacity to continue to serve because of his (statement) that there are 56 states," Walpin said, adding that the same holds for Vice President Biden and his "many express confusions that have been highlighted by the media."

Walpin concluded that his firing stems from bad blood between him and the board, as well as with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson -- an Obama supporter whom he had investigated for alleged misuse of federal funds.

I get one hit on April 8, 2009 when I changed the criteria to the past 12 months.

Thanks - I see it. This was a story on Walpin's investigation of Kevin Johnson: the article clearly favors Johnson's explanations while downplaying the charges. Since then, the Times has published no stories on Walpin's firing, preferring to run AP wire stories both yesterday and today - but not in the newspaper - rather they appear on the Times' web site.

“There are women in their 20’s who can’t keep their kids’ names straight, but nobody says they’re impaired. 0bama feels secure enough to slander a man in his seventies, not just because of all the zombies who idolize 0bama, but also because this youth-worshipping culture will have us believe anything of an older man. And a white one to boot.
Typical old white person. Glue factory material.”

I’m so glad you said that. I have a 21-year-old daughter who’d forget her head if it wasn’t attached. Great kid, but often loses and misplaces things. But when KIDS do it, they’re just being immature kids. I tell ya, older folks have to perform twice as well or people start talking. Walpin is as sharp as a tack. Instilling doubt about one’s mental capacity is the oldest trick in the Dems’ book.

For some reason, the story you linked is not coming up. Neither is the one linked at the beginning of this thread.

They do however show up on a result page after inputing "walpin" at foxnews.com , but still can't click in.

I wonder why.

Walpin will probably receive a visit from the NOI “fruits of isdem.” I hope he has a concealed carry license complete with a firearm, for his own protection.

When dealing with criminals always prepare for the unexpected.

You are correct and we have a few liberal spit suckers on this site, who will call you a racist for telling the real truth.

Their problem is the truth upsets those who are totally evil in nature and liberal.

Let’s try this...I don’t know why it isn’t working unless Fox moved things around. The search page shows the article and the link works from there.
