Let there be light.........

And on the 8th day, the truth was exposed

[perfect_rovian_storm]

As the new owners of our Republic would say: Good Ruck.

[hoosiermama]

Got it marked...Go Walpin GO! Keep giving news releases keep it in the news.

[Landru]

The man should GET his hearing & not stop making all the noise he can until he does.

Wonder where the remaining Republicans stand on this. /sarc

Grassley this week also filed a request for all documents that might demonstrate what role the office of First Lady Michelle Obama played in the firing of Walpin, if any. The First lady’s former chief of staff, Jackie Norris, is expected to join AmeriCorps as the senior adviser next week.

I hope they are talking about an office she had before she was first lady. The first lady doesn't HAVE an office, the only one who was elected(and his legality is in question)was Bozo.

MSNBC will ratchet up the smears on Walpin big time now. Obama’s lil’ Geobbels will be working 24/7 until the job is done.

“Last night, in response to my request for adequate information on the firing of Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service Gerald Walpin, the White House submitted a letter to Senators Lieberman and Collins that now puts the White House in full compliance with the notice requirement in the law," said Sen. McCaskill.

McCaskill.

This is a flat out lie. The letter has to be sent 30 days before firing not a week or so after they are fired. To be in compliance with the law they would have to rehire him and then give notice and they would have to prove the allegations.

And neither are we!

Obama is stirring up far more “gates” than Nixon ever did with Watergate and in just 5 months.

BTW Obama, where’s your birth certificate?

...Wants Congressional Hearing on His Case

Ubama has Congress and the Democrat newsrooms in his pocket. That slimy p.o.s. can literally do and get away with anything he wants.

Have a nice day.

I wouldn’t bet against another Obamacide to silence the problem.

“I certainly don’t know the facts about any of the other IGs. But I don’t think you can find in the history of IGs such an administration attack on and terminating IGs before the last few weeks,”

“I do know the facts to my termination,” said Walpin. “I did my job as I was supposed to do it, honestly reporting on facts and conclusions that my staff, who are career civil servants had discovered [and] had reported to me.”

“I would very much like for the American public to know all the facts, instead of how it has so far not been disclosed in response to Sen. Grassley’s and Congressman Issa’s letters,” Walpin said in an interview. “My view is that – as with Teddy Roosevelt – that sunshine is the best disinfectant. I think it is terrible what happened here to the IG, the institution as a whole."

"My firing has a chilling effect on other IGs," he said. "The best way to handle that--aside from President Obama admitting that he made a mistake--is to have a congressional hearing so that all facts can be put out for the public to see.” “I have great hopes that Democrats, like Republicans, believe in the integrity of the system and believe that the IG system must be protected,” he said. “I have hopes. I hope they won’t disappoint me.”

If he said all these things without reading from a document or a teleprompter, he sounds to me to be quite rational and lucid, in contravention of the character assassinations made against him by the white house.

If you haven't contacted your representatives in Washington in a while, Walpin's firing is a good reason to drop them a line.

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 -- to get some of their power back, if nothing else.

... the fact that Obama broke the law while doing the firing ... well, that should concern Congress, too, but I'll take what I can get with that bunch ...
