“Is the guy a drunk”
Just a thought...why not question Obama’s firing of him which was illegal on it’s face (must give 30 days notice) under the circumstances the man had found an Obama friend with his hand in the federal cookie jar to the tune of 3/4 of a million bucks, BEFORE you invent something bad about him in order to explain Obama’s actions.
Is the guy a drunk? It would explain why he wanted to work at home and was “dazed and confused”.
Here's what Gerald Walpin had to say about O's charges. From the Washington Post,
White House Explains Firing of AmeriCorps IG
Responding to the disoriented and confused comment about the one meeting:
In response, Walpin said Tuesday night that “This is nonsense to rely on a supposed single meeting which makes no sense whatsoever and is just grasping at straws.”
In response to the working from home:
In an interview earlier this week, Walpin recounted that he informed the Bush administration in early January of his intent to resign on Inauguration Day as a courtesy to President Obama. After less than two years on the job and 52 years of marriage, Walpin had tired of the commute from his home in New York. After informing his staff about his impending departure, some staffers convinced him to stay with the Corporation and telework a few days each week from New York.
Responding to being engaged in other troubling and inappropriate conduct” and becoming “unduly disruptive to agency operations:
All I can say is yes, there was a meeting where we had great disputes and the chairman of the board kept cutting me off on my presentation,” Walpin said of Alan Solomont, the Corporation’s board chairman, who was recently appointed U.S. ambassador to Spain.
“There was no confusion whatsoever about the meaning of my reports,” Walpin said last night. “Indeed right now, I would think that the only one confused is the White House, which really doesn’t seem to understand the meaning and the need to protect the independence of IGs.”
Walpin finally throws it back to Obama and Biden regarding their own competence:
If any mistakes or confusion in statements means that someone is unable to act in the position, well then President Obama once said there were 57 states. Does that mean he’s incompetent? No. Or when Vice President Biden has made his various misstatements does that mean he’s incompetent? Of course not.”
LOLOLOL. Sounds like a sharp cookie to me.
