Media Ignore Further Questions Over Obama-Fired Inspector Gen Walpin

Inquiry continues into Walpin firing

Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/30/2009 5:00:00 AM

Senator Chuck Grassley says President Obama has yet to provide Congress with a satisfactory explanation for why he fired Gerald Walpin from his position as Inspector General at the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Some critics of the Walpin firing believe the inspector general was fired simply because he investigated Obama ally and Democratic Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson for using AmeriCorps grant money illegally. However, in a letter to the Senate committee that oversees AmeriCorps, the White House claims Walpin was fired because he was "confused and disoriented," engaged in "inappropriate conduct," and had become "unduly disruptive to agency operations."

Players need to take some action so that it makes enough news that the MSM cannot ignore it.

Hey, Obama is worlds ahead of Watergate with Walpingate and Certifigate. Hopefully, he’ll be removed from office by fall.

They can pass colossal, catastrophic loot-and-spend bills, hundreds of pages long, overnight.
A hearing on the firing of an IG...that takes months, maybe years. Maybe never!

Good.

They asked Kennedy for the hearing. Wonder what the odds are that that’s going to happen.

Wow, the insight of these senators. They actually want to investigate a _crime_ committed by this administration? They can't be serious, probably an amusing show though.

Is this the same Sen. Hutch who voted _for_ the massive power grabbing climate control bill? I'd be afraid to ask whether they'll permit (sit out) the battle to prevent the outlaw, Sotomayor confirmation. How’d they vote on TARP and providing taxpayer money (no less) to militant socialist ACORN? The strength of conviction and righteous has been lost in space.
