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.

Harvard Law School is a joke.
A graduate from Suffolk University Law School starts at a much higher salary than one from Harvard Law.
agreed. it sounda like this man is not accepting being fired. he is old and wise enough to not go away quietly.
WATCH Obama paint him as dementia/altzheimers.
It's like "The Gauntlet."
Sondra Locke: "...why they picked you?"
Clint Eastwood: "Because I get the job done!"
Locke: "They don't want the job done!"
Exactly! The harder Obamanites try to push this the worse Obama looks. Obama rigged the game to help a friend.
“He’s a “Whistleblower”, speaking truth against power.
Don’t Libs put such folks on a pedestal, write books and movies about them and generally weep and mourn over the great injustice?!!”
That only happens if the whistle blower is a liberal, and the target is a Republican, the military, or some evil corporation.
I watched the Beck interview of Walpin on youtube. He doesn’t seem dim to me.
But even if he were...how alert do you need to be to find corruption in the vicinity of Barack 0bama?
even if all these lies were true, it still doesn’t release Zero from the 30 day and other procedural rules.
I'll say it again. We need to learn if he was locked out of his office and who's got the files. This sounds like a good way for stuff to go missing and wind up in Hillary's closet or Sandy's socks.
“A top Republican senator is asking whether First Lady Michelle Obama’s office played any role in last week’s firing of former service program Inspector General Gerald Walpin.”
Hope this guy doesn’t go for a walk in Fort Marcy Park.
Johnson and group are returning half of the money they were granted.
But they’re not guilty... ;)
June 16, 2009: Johnson says Walpin’s dismissal was “100 percent within the purview of the administration. ... Obviously I was not consulted in that decision.””
IMO, Johnson is on very thin ice here.
He certainly does know the laws concerning the firing of an IG.
I thought Kevin Johnson was a little smarter than this..and a little cleaner in his actions.
Wonder if he got turned around when he got some power or was he ‘re-educated’ by the local blacks. ??

LOL!!
He seemed so healthy, but his heart stopped. Must of doubled up on Cardizem.
No “we” don't. Mr Walpin is a self described Democrat and a supporter of 0bama.
LOL -- like robbing a bank, getting caught, and hoping the problems will go away if you just give the money back.
Sorry, Johnson ... too late!
