Lead story on tonight’s Nightly News with Brian Williams...
“…Funding for the largest AmeriCorps program - the Teaching Fellows Program, run by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York - is in abeyance pending resolution of widespread problems identified in a recent audit. Although Walpin recommended that funding be curtailed and that previous funds (perhaps as much as $75 million) be repaid to the corporation, the corporation has said it will take no action on that matter.
Walpin concluded that nothing was being gained by the grants to CUNY and that the money was simply being used to subsidize an existing and funded program.”
Bingo...no wonder he was fired. see aslo...Anita Moncrief and Karyn Gillette...
How sad. We have Urkel and Bigfoot “Winnie Mandela” obama running the country ACORN style. oink.
bttt
Unbelievable...no wait...it really isn’t because these pigs in the White House have an agenda that does not fit most Americans well being. Absolute pigs!
I am shocked and dismayed.
This is actually relatively big news here in the CA capitol - the Sac mayor’s charter school was being investigated. Ironically, it seems that complaints from the former mayor’s camp (a huge lefty) were behind the investigation. Conventional wisdom around here is that she used her political connections to try to cut him off at the knees before he could mount a challenge.
In looking at the IG corruption issues we must also be open to the possibility that there may be a good many of the investigations that were politically motivated. There may be no ‘good guys’ in this whole mess.
A quick google search of ACORN and AMERICORPS reveals the following articles (I know nothing about the sources):

Another example of the Obama administration’s disregard for the rule of law. Welcome to the most corrupt administration in U.S. history. We are now officially a third-world country. The culture of complacency is now in place. It’s just a matter of time before we lose our wealth. And just where the h**l are the republicans?
bump for later.
OMG the abuse by this administration is staggering... Investigate NOW... Special counsel NOW....
How long are the American people going to put up with this abuse?
Welcome to: Chicago on the Potomac!!!
does anyone think its going to matter?
Cover it up with an even bigger and more corrupt
Civilian National Security Force
(only another trillion here, trillion there)
MO now has the role of the Commander in Chief of community organizers now fully funded by us. Keep sending these crooks your tax dollars. Work hard, make more, they are going to needs lots of our money for this take over.
The entire situation stinks of a much bigger agenda. Booting the IG is likely part of an end around attempt to create Obama’s Civilian National Security Force (brown shirts) by hidden executive decrees instead of open congressional process of law.
just like ACORN, where the money pours into an old funeral home in New Orleans and goes out to... FOO? (Friends of Obama)
Nope. Sorry. Libs never do things like this - but thank you for playing.
