Report: Fired Inspector General Sues Obama to Get Job Back
Fox News ^ | 7/18/09

The government watchdog President Obama fired last month for allegedly being "confused" and "disoriented" filed a lawsuit Friday to reclaim his job, the Washington Times reported.

Gerald Walpin, who was the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service until President Obama removed him, argues in the lawsuit that the firing was politically motivated and broke a 2008 law governing how watchdogs can be dismissed, the newspaper said.

Socialized health care will take care of him soon enough.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Walpin ends up passing away from a “heart attack” before this ever sees a courtroom.

I just want to hear some liberal spin on this situation. They all blasted Bush and Cheney for supposedly being above the law. What Zero did here is indefensible.

Good for him.

If Holder is not going to uphold the laws of this land, perhaps by investigating Barry’s illegal firing of this IG, then perhaps a trial lawyer and judge can do what is not.

Richard Nixon should have claimed Archibald Cox was senile when he wanted him fired.

Mary Jo Kopechne died during the night of July 17/18, 1969. I wonder if a single newscast on any of the news channels called attention to the anniversary.
