The chairman of the board that convinced President Obama to fire its inspector general last month complained that Gerald Walpin was creating too much friction with agency administrators, according to notes from a May meeting obtained by FOXNews.com.
The account adds a vital new layer to the explanation the White House gave for the firing, which made only passing reference to such concerns in justifying the removal of Walpin, former IG for the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees the volunteer service AmeriCorps. The official explanation emphasized Walpin's personal behavior at the May 20 meeting.
The informal meeting notes, taken by CNCS Counsel Frank Trinity, said that board members were indeed concerned about Walpin's "behavior."
They said there were "long pauses" in the discussion while Walpin reviewed his notes, and he did not appear able to "process the information" in his notes when he was being questioned by the board. In the notes, Trinity wondered whether Walpin was experiencing a "mini-stroke" or "some type of medical event."
But the account also shows that Chairman Alan Solomont stated concern about Walpin's accusations against the board and not his mental health as the apparent cause for the dispute that led to Walpin's termination.

How dare someone question how liberals illegally divert our tax dollars to promote their far-left agenda.
Yes How Dare They!
Inspector General Walpin was turning over too many rocks, and what was crawling out from under them endangered the leftist power structure. He had to go.
Now, where is the federal stimulus money in New Jersey?
17.5 billion disappeared from the public eye .
C’mon guys, the board was worried about his health - they just wanted what was best for him!
The list, ping
It’s either promoting a far left agenda or lining their own pockets at taxpayer expense.
So what is this about Republicans being “The culture of corruption”???????
Definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_corruption
“Culture of corruption” is a political slogan used by the United States Democratic Party to refer to a series of political scandals affecting the Republican Party during the first two years of George W. Bush’s second term as President of the United States. Republicans have countered by levying accusations at Democrats.
Obama and gang are changing the definition fast!!!!
On September 27, 2008, the House passed the final version of the Improving Government Accountability Act, H.R. 928, which was signed into law on October 14, 2008. This bill contains a number of provisions to enhance the effectiveness and independence of Inspectors General. It also contains provisions to enhance the accountability of the Inspector General system overall.
I'd say Nancy is full of it!~

Another problem the White House can say they misread.
This person will take the fall for the chosen one. Have no fear, there isn’t a darn thing that can stick to bam.
Obama is just biding time until 30 days is up and he will make this man go away. This is grounds for Impeachment. 0bama can’t fire people just because they uncover his slush funds.0bama is not above the law.
Obama lies, FReedom dies!
Remains to be seen.
