Corruption, Stimulus Bill style

Why was Gerald Walpin Fired? He was an Inspector General, and was investigating misuse of federal Stimulus Bill funding at AmeriCorps. One of the alleged violators is Kevin Johnson, former NBA player and a friend of Barack Hussein 0bama. Walpin was called by a White House aide and told him he basically had to resign within one hour or be terminated.

So what, you say? Politics as usual.

I say it's not.

According to the 2008 Inspectors General Reform Act, certain protections were given to the IG's so they could do their job without fear of political reprisals. IG's tend to step on toes every now and then as they merrily uncover corruption. Protections like a President must give Congress 20 days noice of his intent to remove an IG and/or reason why.

One of the sponsors of this bill was none other than then-Senator Barack Hussein obama. Now that he wants to protect some of his friends, he finds that's it's okay to violate a law that he himself has worked to pass (one of the few he did work on). Corruption? Looks like IG Gerald Walpin has uncovered some corruption, all right.
