Finally! A new Walpin post. I really want this to stay in the news, this is big, big. Can anyone say “Abuse of Power”?

I’m in the middle of Ann Coulter’s “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” and couldn’t stop thinking of Walpingate while reading the chapter on Travelgate. I just hope that Walpingate goes further than that, since Travelgate really was an impeachable offense and it’s an outrage that it never went anywhere.. I pray that O is not another “teflon” potus.

In case my double negative made it confusing, I’m saying I think Obama’s firing of Walpin should be grounds for impeaching Obama. Corruption at its dirtiest.

I’m honestly not seeing how his firing isn’t grounds for impeachment.

Ed, where is the credit to Glenn Beck…Beck has chased down this story as much as anyone.
This is just the first of Obama going after anyone who opposes him…on ANYTHING…and it will get MUCH worse.

Absolutely agree. Glenn has had him on, his wife on, I think his family on. He has given him a senility test just to show those stupid, ignorant, despicable/lying dems that the man could out think any of them on their best day.
So Ed, I love ya, but give the man some credit he has been all over it. That and the acorn debacle.
By the way, Chaffetz from Utah suggested using the post office people (and not the corrupt acorn) to do the census. Sounds like a great idea to me.

As I predicted the Walpin story is already old news. Oh what a blessing it is to be cuddled by the press.

An Inspector General could be “difficult,” and the CNCS thought that a reason for termination. Aren’t they supposed to be?

A charge not without its history: Ken Starr, the independent prosecutor, was frequently called “out of control.”

The OBAMA gang attacks an honest man working in our, the citizens, best interest by claiming senility. OBAMA is DESPICABLE.

Isn’t this an act of lying to Congress? Roger Clemens should ask for an exception. Sammy Sosa too.

Oh, its OK as long as its one politician lying to other politicians.

This may not be the “smoking gun” everyone seems to hope it is, but it IS one more chink in the armor, one more obvious sign of corruption, one more reason to jump off the ~~hopenchange~~ paintrain.

The rarity of these sited incidents like these IG’s illegal firings should not be considered a single distinct event.
.
I think if the right people dig further into any and all dealings associated with the Obama/Americorp/Acorn/Soros/Chicago machine works connections, we will see a consistent pattern of more acts of coruption. The culture of corruption is a pattern really. Bringing these aforementioned groups activities to the surface should bear many golden nuggets to take down this entire organized enterprise (conglomerate of shady business) operations.
,
The question is: Will congress call for a special prosecuter? They should because there is nothing like the potentiality of a scandal during any Presidential term.

If at a minimum, unsubstantiated taxation for future BS projects can be diminished if not eliminated.

BIG thanks to Hot Air for keeping this issue out there.
Walpin’s firing is corruption to the NTH degree. You would think heads would roll on this, but not in the Obama WH.

Email the MSM and demand answers.

Byron York is probably going to be the Woodward and Bernstien of the Obama adminsistration. I am confident that he is the one that will be keeping track of most of the messes the Chicago Thug will be perpetrating on his country.
Check out the Washington Examiner for his articles. There are others over there that are doing actual journalism. He’s certainly not lazy like most of the press. The minute I saw him at our Tea Party in April I knew that the USA had a friend in him. He is an honest to goodness reporter. I’ve always said that if the mainstream media would just cover these stories they wouldn’t wouldn’t be having economic problems. They would be selling papers like mad. However, they haven’t taken my advice. Too bad for them because Byron York is actually doing the job of the MSM.

It’s positively ~~Nixonian~~Clintonian, and it’s doubly sad that only Byron York and the Washington Examiner among the national media seem interested in pursuing it.

Nixon was never that bad. If you want a precedent of firing people on trumped up charges, that would be Clinton in Travelgate, which is what Clinton should have been impeached for!

I just read the headlines on the Drudge Report and Warren Buffett stated, “U.S. economy in Shambles”. Warren’s birthday is August 30th and he will turn 80, so “maybe” the current administration will say that billionaire, Warren Buffett is confused just like 77 year old, Inspector General Gerald Walpin??? Nah, that’ll never happen!!!

Where is AARP standing on this age issue? I hope future adminstrations don’t treat me like Mr. Walpin when I get close to his age!!!!
