Obama illegally FIRES an Inspector General for uncovering corruption! Is this the 'more Openess & Transparency
Two weeks ago, Gerald Walpin, U.S. Inspector General, charged with protecting taxpayer money, was illegally fired, and you haven't seen or heard one peep from BIG MEDIA. Less than two years ago, Obonga sponsored legislation, that was passed into law, that; "The president must give 30 days notice, and must inform congress why this person is to be fired". An Obonga goon squad member phoned Walpin and said "You have 1 hour to resign, or you will be fired". What did Walpin do to be fired? He uncovered corruption in how stimulus money was being spent. One case involves an Obonga crony, and 'hoops buddy', Kevin Johnson, mayor of San Diego. The other involves a New York university. This week and last, we heard *NON-STOP* coverage of the REPUBLICAN governors that cheated on their wives. Is this news? Yes. Is it more important than Gov't corruption that goes as high as the White House? No. And how ironic is it, that it was a law that he got passed, that the new president broke. I don't know which is worse, a deceitful, dishonest, corrupt president, or BIG MEDIA that does ANY & EVERYTHING they can to protect & prop this usurper up. The media is supposed to be the watchdog of the people, not protector of crooked Gov't. BTW, Where's the Birth Certificate?

Why Is This Idea Important?

It's important to show how the new president is not keeping his word, again.

John, you had a valid argument going until you brought up the BC issue. Every time you do that you undermine your own credibility.

From HOTAIR.COM....
Neil Barofsky is “SIGTARP,” the special investigator general whose job is to keep an eye on disbursement from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the $3 trillion financial bailout that was rushed through Congress in October. Last week, Grassley sent a stern letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, asking about “a dispute over certain Treasury documents that were being withheld from SIGTARP auditors on a specious claim of attorney-client privilege.”
At stake in the TARP case — as in the cases of the IGs at Amtrak, AmeriCorps and the ITC — is whether the inspectors generals will remain vigilant watchdogs on behalf of taxpayers or become compliant lapdogs, allowing Obama’s political appointees to do as they wish without fear of independent scrutiny.
Given the controversial nature of the TARP — including the public outcry over bonuses paid to top employees of insurance giant AIG, a bailout beneficiary — Grassley is by no means the only member of Congress interested in preserving Barofsky’s independence. In April, Geithner was grilled by Texas Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling and other members of Congress at a hearing after Barofsky reported a “staggering” amount of fraud in the bailout program.
Hensarling is one of the staunchest critics of TARP and, as ABC News reported last week, the Texan sent a letter to Elizabeth Warren, chairwoman of the congressional panel charged with overseeing the bailout, warning that Treasury’s actions were a “threat to [Barofksy's] independence.” . . .

Forget the last question in John's statement. The reality is that John has a valid point. The media is so corrupt and in enamored of the "Messiah" that the issue is being tossed aside by more important, pressing items like Gov. Sanfords' affair (which by the way, broke no laws). The "One" even admitted in a statement that he had Brian Williams of NBC in bed with him. That's an extramarital affair that should be addressed. Right on, John.

hairlip, why should I forget that last statement? It undermines the credibility of his whole statement.

Your comment about Obama's obvious snarky comment about being in bed with Brian Williams undermines your own credibility.

All of you are stretching and reaching at straws. Keep your eyes on the ball. Birferism makes all of you look like fools.

How in the world does it undermine my credibility when the "man" himself made the statement??? Do the research.....

As far as as John's statement goes.... His question had nothing to do with the main topic of his "idea." I won't make excuses for John and the last question, but, he made several good points.

Stop splitting hairs.

Blackmon, adding "Where's the Birth Certificate" to the end of my last post, is part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Get used to seeing it because those of us that dare to question the legitimacy of Obonguh, will be posting it everywhere, even where you think it 'unappropriate'. This 'Idea Web Site' is a great idea. I don't think the Gov't is going to take ANY of whatever good ideas appear here. Know why? Because they aren't listening to us, to what we want, to what we say. Know why? Because they don't give hoot one about us! Only about themselves, and more power for themselves, do they care. They heard us loud and clear starting last year with the first SHAMULUS and or (unconstitutional) bailout bill. They know the majority of us don't want this madness but they are steamrolling ahead, full steam.

And Blackmon, you keep calling those of us that want truthful answers about our president, fools, ignorant imbiciles, 'waycists', idiots, etc, but you haven't given ONE good reason WHY we should not be allowed to know all about our public servants.

I realize they are just 'serving' themselves, but really, aren't they 'supposed' to in the service of 'We, the People'?
