Obama’s party controls Congress.

Even if they do call hearings (which is unlikely), they’re not going to find the Messiah has done anything wrong.

He said that he believed the Democratic majority in Congress would support an investigation.

ROTFLMAO. Congress Critters from either party rarely allow honesty to get in the way of their pork, and when it's Democrat politicians, those in the way can fully expect to be slaughtered and not a whimper will escape to the rest of the heard. Sorry Mr. Walprin. After 78 years of being a loyal Democrat, they have decided that you are now 'inconvenient.'

ABCSeeBSNBC will promptly assign your story to the memory hole and it will be just like you never existed.

With Obama having as many as 28 Czars, you'd think Congress would be itching for a good excuse to knock Obama down a few notches...

LOL. That just means more pork for the Critters. Congress loves Czars as long as they can suck up to them and Czars love Congress as long as it's full of willing suckers.

With the type of nauseating pomposity Obama displays, almost always with this ultra-arrogant type, something hidden from the public pops up and ruins their credibility.

We can only hope when it happens impeachment quickly follows — the problem is getting enough votes for approval of impeachment implementation.

-- Another thought for Walpin would be to file an injunction to halt the business at AmeriCorps because it has no independent oversight, and is pending Congressional action due to the illegal firing of the existing IG. --

That won't work because the office isn't a solo operation. The IG for the Corporation for National and Community Service is head of a team that goes by the acronym "CNCSOIG". The team has about 35 total members. Oversight will continue, just under a new boss, and for now, under an interim or acting boss.

-- think [documents that had allegedly been withheld from Neil Barofsky] is an EXTREMELY important issue --

It is. So is the evidence of corruption that Walpin's group is investigating in NYC, to the tune of 75 million dollars.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and Obama opposes transparency because he knows it will cure the epidemic of corruption that he inspires.

"He says he wants Congress to hold a hearing on his firing."

If that is all that he has in his arsenal, he is so screwed!

Ostammer and his thugs will give Walpin and the rest of the people mentioned the finger as they do on everything else. Then the pussy Republicans will just bend over and take it, as usual.

Walpin has the advantage of age and experience. And PR savvy, as it turns out. He’s played this much to his own advantage. Most bureaucrats would have taken their comfy federal pension and retired.

Sen. McCaskill comes off as a total whore. And the Obama White House .. well what more need be said, it’s the Chicago Mob’s home away from home.

“I think it’s absolutely desperation on their part,” Walpin said. “The first reason they gave me for my termination was that the president thought I ought to move on. The second reason the president expressed was that he lost confidence in me. That was in a letter to Congress. Of course that’s not a reason, that’s a conclusion.”>/u>

And right you are. This is a distinction that most people either miss, or simply don't understand, which proves to me that Mr. Walpin is not only sharp as a tack, but is in full control of his mental faculties. I wouldn't want him breathing down my neck if I've got something to hide. If Walpin keeps pushing this with the clarity and conviction he has shown so far, Obama may be in some real trouble here, especially since a pattern is emerging.

Was Gibbs asked about this? Why is it no reporter is asking Obama about Walpin? AKA calling him to the carpet?

My understanding is Walpin is a staunch democrat and liberal. He firmly supported Obama for president.

The American Left is just as silent when millions of Cambodians were killed by The American Left’s Ally the Communist Khmer Rouge. The American Left was silent then and The American Left is silent now. The silence is stunning!
