JohnRich 4 #13 June 12, 2009 QuoteFirst they drop voter intimidation charges against the black panthers with video evidence nailing them to the wall and now this. Check out the story today about Obama firing an Inspector General who was getting too close to busting one of his buddy's community organizations, for committing fraud with government grant money: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090612/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_national_service_inspector_general And then there is the awarding of ambassadorships to his big donors: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090612/D98OTD380.html Oh, I forgot - it's all Bush's fault.

wmw999 2,586 #18 June 12, 2009 Well, personally, I just heard about it this morning, I haven't read much about it, and I didn't post much about the 7 fired US attorneys either. that's 1 lib down Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

I'm confused about your comparison. On one hand we have a CinC knowingly (or am I giving him too much credit?) attempting to break a law he co-authored. On the other we have a murderer who held no political office.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #24 June 14, 2009 Update: QuoteNow, there is the hurried attempt to dismiss Walpin, without the required notice or cause. After last night's call, Walpin got in touch with Congress, and it appears the White House has backed off, at least for now. This afternoon, Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who is something of a guardian angel for inspectors general, fired off a letter to the White House about the affair. "I was troubled to learn that last night your staff reportedly issued an ultimatum to the AmeriCorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin that he had one hour to resign or be terminated," Grassley wrote. "As you know, Inspectors General were created by Congress as a means to combat waste, fraud, and abuse and to be independent watchdogs ensuring that federal agencies were held accountable for their actions. Inspectors General were designed to have a dual role reporting to both the President and Congress so that they would be free from undue political pressure. This independence is the hallmark of all Inspectors General and is essential so they may operate independently, without political pressure or interference from agencies attempting to keep their failings from public scrutiny." Grassley said he was "deeply troubled" by the Walpin matter and closed by asking the president "to review the Inspector General Reform Act you cosponsored and to follow the letter of the law should you have cause to remove any Inspector General."Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
