We have found an exclusive witness who directly contradicts multiple aspects of the official White House explanation for firing AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin. Separately, one part of the White House explanation treads on exceedingly shaky ground that raises the specter of improper age discrimination.

and how will the lame scream media report on this? They probably won’t report on it at all and if they do, it will be given 3 seconds. Nothing Obama can do will upset the mass media unless it affects directly affects them.

I thought Dear Leader was a lawyer ,,, how was he stupid enough to give a lame excuse when all he had to do is say “you’re fired” with no explaination?

I posted this on another thread. I just don't see how ANY excuse holds water. The law seems pretty clear that 30 days notice has to be given.
What am I missing?
Here is a link to the
Inspector General Reform Act of 2008. I believe President Bush signed it in October 2008.
SEC. 3. REMOVAL OF INSPECTORS GENERAL.
(a) ESTABLISHMENTS.Section 3(b) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) is amended by striking the second sentence and inserting If an Inspector General is removed from office or is transferred to another position or location within an establishment, the President shall communicate in writing the reasons for any such removal or transfer to both Houses of Congress, not later than 30 days before the removal or transfer. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit a personnel action otherwise authorized by law, other than transfer or removal..
(b) DESIGNATED FEDERAL ENTITIES.Section 8G(e) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) is amended by striking shall promptly communicate in writing the reasons for any such removal or transfer to both Houses of the Congress. and inserting shall communicate in writing the reasons for any such removal or transfer to both Houses of Congress, not later than 30 days before the removal or transfer. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit a personnel action otherwise authorized by law, other than transfer or removal..

I thought Dear Leader was a lawyer ,,, how was he stupid enough to give a lame excuse when all he had to do is say youre fired with no explaination? Obama was cosponsor of a law that said that he had to give 30 days notice to Congress upon firing an inspector general and had to give a reason. IGs are not at will employees.
Almost as funny as XXX-42 getting hung up on the sexual harassment law he signed himself.

Well on this issue, the car is tuned up and the tank is full of gas.
However, it will require Republicans with actual balls, to turn the key and start the engine.

how old is this guy
I think I read that he is 77.
To: Neidermeyer
Because that's what the Clintons did and in the end got away with suffering no consequences from their actions. Expect to see more of the Clinton playbook from this administration.

This has Michelle’s fingerprints all over it. She demands power without accountability. Americorp is a cash cow and thereby a center of power.

The aroma seems remarkably similar to that which arose out of Hillary Clinton's Travelgate.

What am I missing? The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is above the law.
The Pelosi/Reid Congress don't care.
The media are useless tools that just provide cover.
