The Obama administration’s disputes with government watchdogs do not end with fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Behind the scenes, the Treasury Department is embroiled in a disagreement with Neil Barofsky, the watchdog for the $700 billion government bailout Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.

Obama needs a bigger bus!!!
This 0bama criminal is funneling our money to his cronies. Dammit that makes me mad.
new thread ABC news....hmmmm
1) Illegal firing of an IG, to cover-up corruption, orchestrated directly from the White House, would be as bad as anything Nixon did. This could possibly bring Obama down.
2) If it does not bring Obama down, then it's open season on watchdogs. This would have a chilling effect, and possibly result in all watchdogs just nodding their head and saying, "Everything looks fine Mr. President".
I almost get the sense that Obama is going "all in". Either he controls all aspects of government, or he fails utterly.
And when the democxraps see he is about to go down, they will quietly encourage him to resign to avoid impeachment, so the commie enactments hallmarking his rule can stay in effect and the democrat congressional hold remain in tact in 2010. The democrap party is a criminal enterprise.
His government sachs boys will make sure all is well
