The Obama Administration remains addicted to the "Chicago Way" of hardball politics. One of the clearest examples was last June's firing by the White House of Gerald Walpin, inspector general of the government service program AmeriCorps.
Mr. Walpin complained at the time his ouster was due to his dogged investigation of misspent AmeriCorps money in a program run by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a major Obama backer. Mr. Walpin's firing by the White House was done in direct contravention of a 2008 law meant to protect inspectors general from political retribution. Mr. Obama himself co-sponsored the law as a Senator.
Now a GOP Congressional report by investigative staffers working for Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Rep. Darrell Issa of California has laid bare some of the reasons the White House acted so brazenly.
In 2008, three female students at the St. HOPE Academy, a charter school in Sacramento, claimed inappropriate advances had been made by Mr. Johnson, who ran the school and was running for mayor. Mr. Johnson, a former NBA star, had been plagued by charges of sexual misconduct ever since his days as a player in the 1990s.
Mr. Walpin's investigators concluded that Kevin Hiestand, the attorney for Mr. Johnson, had approached at least one of the complaining students and asked her to remain quiet. About a week later, Mr. Johnson himself offered her a payment of $1,000 a month until she left school, which she refused to accept. Erik Jones, the St. HOPE teacher who eventually reported one of the victims' allegations to the police, resigned in protest, claiming the school also had sought to intimidate the student into changing her story.
In addition to uncovering the possible use of "hush money," Mr. Walpin concluded that the misuse of AmeriCorps funds by St. HOPE was serious...

The zero has responsible for more impeachable offenses than anyone I’ve every seen.
What’s more they guy doesn’t try to hide it. He just continues to manufacture his own reality, and redefine already low ethics standards downward.
Can you imagine the furor if this had happened under Bush?
I know it’s the rhetorical question we all ask ourselves many times a day but this would have been a firestorm. I am very disappointed the story died as fast as it did but it proves just how much influence this administration has with the MSM.
We heard about ‘ambassador’ Joe Wilson and his phony spy wife for YEARS! But this, this doesn’t even make the news.
How many in positions of power will stand up?
Hah
But will anything ever come of these revelations?
Makes a person yearn for the good clean heterosexual philandering and the warm jovial feeling of fellowship with good old boys from the days of the regime of Team Clinton.
Easy enough to write articles of impeachment then, even if they turned out to be “not serious”.
But he had his fingers crossed behind his back! Nanny, Nanny, Boo, Boo!
Impeachment effectively died when Clinton wasn't convicted. Impeachment is useless until the rats are replaced with a loyal and honorable opposition or the Senate has a two thirds GOP majority. That's not happening any time soon.
The acting president of the US is a fascist criminal. What will it take for the American people to finally rise up and throw him out!
My congressman will have an E-mail in his in box when he returns for holiday suggesting that he do that very thin and I don’t care that it will go nowhere in this congress!

Obamas Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education. This is important because K-records for original school entry would contain his REAL Birth Certificate.
A Noelani Kindergarten application would contain the following:
1. His Legal name.
2. Parents or Legal Guardians names.
3. Date of Birth
4. Place of Birth
5. Vaccination Records (revealing a timeline to the place and DOB.)
It also is important for two reasons:
A. The Dept. of Education does not lose records of one particular student. (Who paid whom what sum to make this record disappear?)
B. There would have been NO shameful low-test scores, NO embarrassing Equal Opportunity advancements, and NO trails of fraudulent funding to hide which could possibly excuse the quashing of public school Kindergarten entry records.
For the rest of his life Obama attended very expensive private schools and has had his records legally sealed to deny the public, his true life story.
This is different. Hawaii should be able to verify he attended their school since he is featured in class photographs. State and federal tax dollars paid for his initial year of education. Why is there no documentation? This is the tip of the iceberg of an intentionally erased life of a fraudulent conman and it reeks of complicity by officials within the State of Hawaiis Dept. of Health and Dept. of Education.
tip-of-the-ice-cube alert.
LOL
