Walpingate: Obama's Waterloo
Gerald Walpin, who until recently was the chief watchdog for Americorps and other service programs, was terminated because he exposed misuse of federal grant money by Kevin Johnson, the mayor of Sacramento and a close friend of Obama’s who heads a non-profit education group.
By law Inspector Generals can only be fired for a good cause and a 30-day written notice of the firing, and the reason for the firing, need to be detailed to Congress. The purpose of this law (which Obama co-sponsored as Senator) is to prevent political firings of Inspector Generals, whose main job it is to weed out corruption within the government. By all indications, Walpin was doing his job — too well. He apparently was responsible for exposing corruption in some friends and associates of the Obamas. Obama gave no reason to Congress for the firing, which caused even some Democrats to object. In response, Obama declared that he had lost confidence in Walpin, and made insinuations that Walpin had exhibited senile behavior at a staff meeting back in May. If Obama really thought that Walpin was unfit for the job then why did he then send Walpin out to give a detailed lecture afterwards? Obama is clearly covering for himself by slandering a good man. The mainstream Media is not covering this story but I have a feeling that it is not over yet, in fact it is just beginning. EDITORIAL: Walpin-gate opens wider - Washington Times Walpingate: Walpin Responds, Obama Dodges | Axis of Right The law governing inspectors general mandates that a president can remove them only after giving 30 day notice to Congress and stating a cause for the dismissal. Mr. Obama has offered no substantive reason for firing Mr. Walpin. That is unacceptable. |

Sounds like to me Obama is looking out for his close friends,not wanting others digging around for dirt.
BTW DDT.I'm reading a few sites that say Obama has refused to release his college transcript.. Here's a list of records that people want to see. Obama kindergarten records Punahou school records Occidental College records Columbia University records Columbia Thesis "Soviet Nuclear Disarmament" Harvard Law School Records Harvard Law Review articles University of Chicago scholarly articles Passport Medical Records Files and schedules from career as IL state senator Client list from Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard Illinois State Bar Association records Baptism records Obama/Dunham marriage license Obama/Dunham divorce documents Dunham/Soetoro marriage documents Adoption records Maybe i'm having a slow week and these docs have already been released,but if not.What is he hiding. ![]()

Yes, I am aware that these docs are sought after! We even have Hillary's first thesis from Columbia which was on Saul Alinsky (not surprizing)......believe it or not!.... but Obama is deathly afraid that we will discover his real past.
