All the 'reasons' given for his dismissal are very subjective, and the sort that could be made up about anyone, with the exception of the working from New York part. And everything

All the reasons I've heard for his "firing" are lame.  I think Walpin was getting close to uncovering something that would have sunk Obama and the board freaked and fired Walpin.

That’s frightening.

I worked with a malignant narcissist once, and this is textbook for them. They find a person’s most vulnerable point and use it ruthlessly. Obama found the line of attack most effective and hurtful against a 78 yo man and used it. He is a very mean, unscrupulous and vicious person.

My God, shades of Hillary's evil travelgate slanders!!!!

Wow is right. But I say it's shades of Captain Queeg and the whole Caine Mutiny thing.

Those voters who voted for these corrupt and incompetent bastards are to blame.
___________
Indeed they are and put on your boots and slop through the manure at DU and you will see that they are ripping him a new one regularly and having MAJOR voter remorse. Damn fools, to vote for black they may have destroyed our country.

[bethtopaz]

He was on Glenn Beck the other day and he seemed very coherent and well-oriented. What a sham!

[BuckeyeTexan]

What’s so outrageous about this accusation of Walpin being confused and disoriented and Obama having “lost confidence” in him is that Obama didn’t feel that way about Walpin days before he fired him when he was consulting with him about Judge Sotomayor. Walpin is a Republican who supports Sotomayor and Obama wanted Walpin to come out publicly for Sotomayor.

“OOOOOOHHHHH, two points for the cool reference.
You are the king until dethroned.”

In that case, I’m putting out my river card of “Nicolae Carpathian” now.

You left off some of the thought, JOE! She's thinking: Commie bastard. I will have you Indonesian documents on my desk by Friday, then we'll see how well you dance for Deutschland! ... And when we get through with you, Mossad has even more documentation of your lies to dangle you with."

[KTM rider]

Amazing, Obama's buddy Johnson steals almost 1 million dollars, Walpin blows the whistle and gets fired by Obama .

Sounds like something the Iranian government would do

....who is this obama !

why is he president !

how can he be stopped !

[Will88]

Damn fools, to vote for black they may have destroyed our country.

That's who put Obama in office, or the swing vote that gave him the victory: the guilt-ridden and generally clueless white people who voted for Obama because he was black, because it made them feel good, or they thought it was just time to elect a black president. We might pay a huge price for their frivolity and foolishness.

Quick, post his bio before it's erased by the obots! This man sounds confused and disoriented!:

Gerald Walpin, the Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service, has pursued a

vigorous effort to investigate and prosecute all persons who betray the public’s trust by defrauding the

Corporation and its programs.

A prominent New York attorney, Walpin was nominated by President

George W. Bush, confirmed by the U.S. Senate and sworn into office on

January 8, 2007. He leads the Office of Inspector General (OIG), an

independent Federal agency charged with oversight over the taxpayer-

supported Corporation and its service programs, including AmeriCorps,

Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) and Senior Corps.

“My major objective is to expand upon the good work of this office by

preventing, detecting and prosecuting all thefts and frauds,” said Walpin.

“The reality is that such misconduct takes precious resources away from

deserving people, the same way the theft of a welfare check hurts a single

mother who needs that money to buy milk for her children. For that reason,

this office will seek out and ensure sanctions for all wrongdoing involving

Corporation funds.”

Walpin said his other major goal is to “assist the Corporation in making its services efficient and accessible

for all national service stakeholders.”

A New York City native, Walpin graduated from College of the City of New York in 1952. He earned his law

degree, cum laude, in 1955 from Yale Law School, where he was managing editor of the Yale Law Journal.

From 1957-60, he served as a lieutenant in the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General.

His career included a five-year stint as Chief of Prosecutions for the United States Attorney for the Southern

District of New York, where he successfully prosecuted a number of high-profile cases. He spent more than

40 years as senior partner and, more recently, of counsel to New York-based Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP.

Mr. Walpin has represented a wide range of clients, including large public corporations, securities brokerage

firms, accounting firms, law firms, banks in lender liability claims, and individuals, both American and

foreign, in securities litigations, employment litigations, criminal prosecutions, and investigations by the

United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Both as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and in his law firm,

he was frequently called upon to investigate fraudulent conduct.

Included in the published compilation “The Best Lawyers in America,” Mr. Walpin served from 20022004 as

president of the Federal Bar Council, the association of attorneys practicing in the Second Circuit Federal

courts. In 2003, he was honored with the American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for outstanding

professionalism as an attorney and for mentoring younger lawyers.

Walpin and his wife Sheila, married for more than 50 years, have three children and six grandchildren

Obama explained why he fired the Inspector General of the AmeriCorps without the 30-day notification required by law, calling Gerald Walpin so "confused" and "disoriented" that there was reason to question "his capacity to serve."

I've seen the fired Inspector General's interview and he did NOT appear confused or disoriented, but rather crystal clear and informative.

Understanding Taqiyya

Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents. If honor so demands, lies and cheating may become absolute imperatives.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle” An interpretation of the Arabs, p4]

...this guy could be Barry’s nightmare before all is said and done.

IF he lives long enough...enemies of Chicago Marxists have a way of suddenly dying under mysterious circumstances.

[Hildy]

I hope Beck takes this up and doesn’t let it go. I was thinking the other day the only people who have any power anymore are the guys with the microphones...it’s time for them to step up. Rush has the money...it’s a matter of saving the Country...I’m not talking about running for office..I’m talking about rallying the troops..the only people who can do it are the ones who have the microphones.

My God, shades of Hillary's evil travelgate slanders!!!!

"Shades"? Where do you think his staff came from?!

I can see why Obama wouldn't like him (Aug 2003):

THE CENTER FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
School Cannot Ban “Redneck” T-Shirt

Chalk up another victory for Tom Sypniewski,
who gained national attention when he challenged
his high school’s ban on a T-shirt listing
comedian Jeff Foxworthy’s “Top 10 Reasons
You Might Be A Redneck Sports Fan.” The U.S.
Supreme Court has rejected a New Jersey school
district’s petition for review of an October 2002
federal appeals court decision in Sypniewski’s
favor.

The case, Sypniewski v. Warren Hills
Board of Education, arose when Sypniewski
sued school officials—with the help of CIR and
Gerald Walpin of New York ’s KMZ Rosenman—
after he was suspended for wearing the Tshirt
to school.

Then get the movie rights stamped and go visit Mel Gibson and have him make the movie...

Mel's been neutralized. There's a little videotape of his defamation of Jews that the police could still show, or misplace...
