Last Week Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin- Check that, he called him and told him he had one day to resign.
The LAW for firing Inspector General is:
30 days notice - notify congress - give exact reasons
A LAW SPONSORED BY THEN SENATOR BARACK OBAMA
to protect the inspector from political intimidation so they can investigate frauds
Walpin was investigating fomer NBA player Kevin Johnson (friend of Obama, mayor of Sacramento) for misusing federal money for Americorps (just under 1 million)
On the HELP legislation there is: Teddy Kennedy, Jackie Norris (Michelle Obama's Chief of staff) - these are the ones that gave americorps the monies...
this is the first firing my friends, and it will not be the last...
this IS fascism...
Obama IS a fascist.
the video is from BECK the other nite, there are more out there - you just wont find them in the MSM...
Laws only apply to the ‘Little People” not to Narcissists like Obama. If you can’t serve him...you’re toast.
They didn’t follow the law? Nothing new here.
Look at everything they’ve been doing. The Bailouts, the intervention into Corporate conduct, funneling money to Partisan Groups (Ex. ACORN), etc.
The Law is just a minor inconvenience to these types.
Stoke these fires, folks. Call your representatives. Write. Email. Lather rinse repeat.
Even a complete koolaider tool like McCaskill is bailing on 0bamalootie, over this issue.
Pure Fascism. And where is the outcry of disgust from our fine elected officials in the Congress?? Those that are supposed to uphold the Constitution and our written laws???
Did they all quit, or were they fired by Obama???
How can a man swear, on a Bible, to uphold and defend the Constitution when he spits on it on a weekly basis?
Obama has objectified this country and plans to use it for as his own 'Tinker-Toy' set using the Marxist manual as his guide to build his own 'utopia.' Chapter One goes here, Chapter Two goes here...
I frankly have no problem with executives ignoring laws, at least ones that have little to do with the legislature’s Constitutional authority. I realize they’re supposed to advise and consent, but if the president has the power to fire people and Congress can’t stop him, what difference does it make when they’re notified? The issue, for me, is really all about Obama breaking a law he previously supported, as opposed to the Sanctity of Notification.
It’s fun when the branches fight with eachother. How long do we have to wait for another Jackson telling SCOTUS (paraphrasing), “You have made your decision, now let’s see you enforce it.” Have at it, gentlemen.
I guess it’s good to be the King.
Wow! An actual investigation into a lib laundering tax money through bogus federal programs into the hands of their friends!!
That would bring down the whole system!
Sessions and Grassley should tie up the Senate Judiciary Committee and the nomination of Sotomayer until a credible investigation is done regarding this illegal firing.
“Inconvenient” is too soft a word, for the attitude that Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetero, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, has for the law. Contempt and distain come to mind, and outright flout of the law is something of a game with him. Old Chicago habits are hard to break.
Like Nixon before him, The Won seems to believe the king CANNOT break any law, since he IS the law. Absolutely the best game in town.
Until the “reset” button is hit.
What is so unusual about his breaking a law?
Just a bit that I’ve found in my worldview research. The left completely agrees that the elite leadership must NOT be held to the laws that they apply to the masses. This is an encumbrance on the implementation of their superior goals.
Now, let’s go down memory lane a bit.
Why did Clinton lie in the Paula Jones case?
To avoid the consequences of a law that he championed and signed that allows plaintiffs in a sexual harassment case to research and introduce the defendant’s “history” of sexual harassment.
And remember the left totally excusing this “hypocrisy” as inconsequential.
Thanks for the redirect to the great WSJ article.
But, I was thinking.... Doesn’t Walpin now have standing? He’s been harmed by this President directly. So couldn’t he bring a case, and in that case question the President’s authority to act on anything until he provides his long-form BC?
Just askin...
How many campaign promisses has Obama broken or reversed himself on now? Where is the media outrage over broken promisses and hiring law breaking tax evaders?
This president simply does NOT care about hte laws of htis land- if hte laws stand in his way- he feels he has the right to break them whenever he feels like it!
