Fired IG Calls White House Explanation 'Baseless,' Says He's Being Targeted
Foxnews ^ | 6/17/2009 | Staff

Posted on 06/17/2009 8:37:54 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The government watchdog President Obama canned for allegedly being "confused" and "disoriented" fired back sharply Wednesday, saying the White House explanation for removing him was "insufficient," "baseless" and "absolutely wild."

Gerald Walpin, who until last week was the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, told FOXNews.com that part of Obama's explanation was a "total lie" and that he feels he's got a target on his back for political reasons.

"I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me," Walpin said.

----

"I would never say President Obama doesn't have the capacity to continue to serve because of his (statement) that there are 56 states," Walpin said, adding that the same holds for Vice President Biden and his "many express confusions that have been highlighted by the media."

Walpin concluded that his firing stems from bad blood between him and the board, as well as with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson -- an Obama supporter whom he had investigated for alleged misuse of federal funds.

Oops, getting ahead of myself.

His severance package will be substantial, is my guess.

How very interesting: an “inspector for the Corporation for National and Community Service” fired? Connect the dots, folks. Our Commander in Chief of Community Service is looking to change the face of that organization and as quickly as possible. Wonder how many ACORN employess he’s got lined up to work there.

This might heat up despite the best efforts of Obama and thugs to squash it. I know it’s just Fox news, but them’s pretty strong words.

He’s on Laura Ingraham’s show now: 10:40 CDT. Sounds very sharp and clear minded.

So why is Sacramento’s mayor still in office and not in jail. I’m beginning to believe the best way to commit a crime and not go to jail is to be a politician. Actually....I’ve believed that for some time. It still amazes me though.

Ubama said “57 states”, not “56”.
See? Walpin is confused.

If that line doesn’t garner news coverage, what will?
