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.

Obama wrote a letter explaining the firing rather than explain to Congress in person for fear of bipartisan criticism.

What a weinie.

There are women in their 20’s who can’t keep their kids’ names straight, but nobody says they’re impaired. 0bama feels secure enough to slander a man in his seventies, not just because of all the zombies who idolize 0bama, but also because this youth-worshipping culture will have us believe anything of an older man. And a white one to boot.
Typical old white person. Glue factory material.

I don’t really care WHY he was fired. HOW he was fired was blatantly illegal no matter what the reason. Discussing the reason or reasons just takes the attention away from the fact that Congress is to be notified in writing 30 days in advance, and that Obama was a co-sponsor of the bill that required that. That’s just brazen.

Well, fortunately we have an open, transparent government now, and the NY Times to come down hard on politically-motivated firings. Right? Can I get a "Hell, yeah!" here? Say, is that sound crickets chirping?

No confusion here the real reason Walpin was fired

this is like something that would happen in Iran or the Soviet Union. Now a freind of Michelle's is taking over to give away millions of our tax dollars to Community Embezzlanizers

If Mr Walin feels like he is being targeted now, wait until the shooting starts!

Walpin is old, white, male...that’s a trifecta right there. If he’s also Jewish, he could be the 21st c Dreyfus.

A typed suicide note was found, in a previously empty suitcase, that was torn in pieces. The only piece missing is the signature.

Meanwhile the medical examiner ruled the family dog ate the missing head.

"(sac bee article)The two offices have been at odds for months, with U.S. Attorney Brown previously asking a branch of the FBI that polices the integrity of all federal inspectors general to review Walpin's performance during the St. HOPE investigation.

"I objected (to the settlement) because it did not protect the interests of the U.S. government," Walpin wrote in the statement released Wednesday. "I also objected because, in the speed to bow to media and political pressure, the acting U.S. attorney ignored my office's request for further fact-finding into factual representations made by Mr. Johnson's attorneys."

Obama should be impeached and removed for this

this makes Nixon look absloutely innocent in comparison, we are talking felonies here, emezzelment of public funds, covered up by a president with extensive experience at Community Embezzelizing

the REASON makes it an impeachable offense.

Obama should be impeached

Johnson should go to prison

in a democratic law abiding society
