Obama Fires Inspector General for doing his Job – IG Gerald Walpin interviewed by Glenn Beck
June 17, 2009
Obama fires Gerald Walpin for “no” reason. He was just doing his job investigating AmeriCorps money that went to a community group called St. HOPE Academy, which was founded by Kevin Johnson, former point guard of the Phoenix Suns, who was elected Mayor of Sacramento last November, and who just happens to be a buddy of Obama’s. Does it not seem strange that Obama would fire someone who was investigating a friend of his?
Anyone who paid attention to the election last year knows what is happening; it’s called Chicago politics at its finest. And it seems that Obama is a pro at it. Does Obama think that he can get away with something like this? The answer is yes. The fact of the matter is that any President can get away with anything up to and including murder, if the news media does not cover it, or they bury it in the back pages.
But all is not lost, I do see hope for the future. I feel that the stucco façade that surrounds Obama is beginning to crack, and that soon chunks of it will begin to fall off, which will expose Obama for what he truly is, which is an imposter, a fake, a charlatan. It will be at this time that the news media will begin to smell blood, and they will rush to investigate the imposter so as to look as if they were on the job from the beginning; they will not want to be left holding the bag.
Now here’s part of a hack piece by ABC News. The comments are better than the article.

Obama fires Inspector General – Politically motivated and illegal?
When President Bush fired a handful of U.S. Attorneys in 2006, all of which were appointed by him and “serve at the pleasure of the President,” the cries of “political corruption” from the newly Democrat-controlled Senate could be heard across America.
Today, President Obama has terminated a government inspector general, possibly in violation of laws established to prevent the same kind of political influence Bush was accused of using.
Gerald Walpin, whose job it was to review grants awarded by AmeriCorps and its parent agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service, had discovered improprioties involving a charity headed up by the Mayor of Sacramento, Kevin Johnson. According to his investigation, Mr. Johnson’s “St. HOPE Academy” had misappropriated nearly $1 million by using money to pay volunteers for political activities, run personal errands and even wash his car.
Mayor Johnson is a huge supporter of Barack Obama’s, and this link between the two of them gives every appearence of political payback, not to mention the possibility of serious illegalities by the President.
