Obama’s unjust firing and treatment of AmeriCorps Inspector General continues to make the news.

WATCHDOG MASSACRE
Does Congress have guts to investigate 'Walpingate'?
Fired inspector general among 3
Posted: June 22, 2009
By Drew Zahn
Former AmeriCorps watchdog Gerald Walpin is only the first – yet still the most controversial – of three inspectors general to leave their posts prematurely since President Obama took office, and now he's asking for a congressional hearing into his suspicious firing by the White House.
As WND has reported, inspectors general are supposed to be protected from political interference so they can root out fraud and waste of government grant money wherever it may lie.
Questions have been raised, however, about the White House's firing of Walpin and have been further exacerbated by the subsequent resignation of Amtrak's watchdog Fred E. Weiderhold, the International Trade Commission's termination of Inspector General Judith Gwynn's contract and the Treasury Department's request for a ruling on how much power it has over Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general overseeing the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Walpin told CNSNews that when the White House fired him with a paper-thin explanation following his investigation into Obama supporter Kevin Johnson, the mayor of Sacramento, it created "a chilling effect" on other inspectors general.
"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," Walpin said.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., have already sent letters to the administration, demanding facts, records and explanations for its questionable dealings with the inspectors general. But Walpin believes only a congressional hearing will reveal the whole story. …Continue Reading

Editorial: I.G.’s firing smells like political retribution
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
The firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin is raising some disturbing questions about President Barack Obama and his willingness to use his power to help political friends and punish perceived enemies.
As an I.G., Walpin was charged with investigating the misuse of federal funds. In one case he found that tens of thousands of dollars of AmeriCorps funds had been improperly spent by a community organization called St. HOPE.
The group was founded by Kevin Johnson, a former NBA player who recently got himself elected mayor of Sacramento.
Walpin found that St. HOPE and Johnson had misused thousands of an $850,000 federal grant, including dough that went to pay volunteers to engage in political activities, run personal errands for Johnson and even to wash his car.
Walpin had also been very critical of how $80 million in AmeriCorps funds had been spent by the City University of New York.
Both reports were embarrassing to big supporters of the president. AmeriCorps head Alan Solomont raised $800,000 for Obama’s presidential campaign and inauguration. Johnson is also a FOB (Friend of Barack’s).
No doubt, Walpin has made his share of enemies by aggressively doing his job of watchdogging taxpayer dollars.
After the White House gave Walpin the choice of being fired or turning in his resignation, something of a smear campaign followed…Continue Reading
ACORN (a corrupt Obama support organization) is going international.
From the Real Barack Obama RBO:
ACORN Int’l becomes COI
June 23, 2009 by Procrustes
ACORN Intl logoThe Washington Examiner’s Kevin Mooney reported June 21 that the organization formerly known as ACORN International — in an obvious attempt to shed its “tarnished” name — has officially become “Community Organizations International” (COI).
Do not be confused. This is not ACORN, it is ACORN International, a separate organization.
Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck did a segment June 22 with former ACORN board members Ron Sykes and Coya Mobley, who said ACORN may have changed its name but has kept its “plantation mentality”. (There was more to this interview but it has not been posted to YouTube yet. RBO will add the rest if it becomes available.)...Continue Reading
Just a reminder of the kind of government Obama is creating comes from The Examiner:
Obama's 'high crimes and misdemeanors'
June 19, 3:43 PM • Anthony G. Martin - Columbia Conservative Examiner
According to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power to impeach and remove from office any President that is charged and found guilty of 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' The term encompasses felonies and other unlawful acts that are not considered felonies.
Barack Obama has a truckload of problems on his hands. He has enacted policies that fit the description of impeachable offenses. He can be thankful that Congress is controlled by his partners-in-crime, or else he would be facing serious charges.
Let's take a look at some of his offenses, shall we? …Continue Reading
Larry Sinclair has a book update up Monday.

BOOK UPDATE
As promised I have spent the weekend making the spacing adjustments needed on the book and have added the other corrections. I have submitted the Cover file for the necessary adjustments (increase of spine width) and expect to have it back by tomorrow morning for uploading.
On Tuesday I plan to upload the corrected files for final approval and the start of printing. When I said I am "very proud" last Friday what I am proud of is the fact that I have completed this book even though I have been attacked, threatened, harassed, and lied about non-stop. I am proud because I have told the truth and refuse to back down from the truth. I am proud because no matter what anyone says about me or tries to do to me, I can say I stood by the truth and refused to be intimidated.
It has been brought to my attention over the weekend that some have made claims as to the Books contents. Well, I can tell you that it is truthful, factual and has already caused some to publish admissions to their criminal activities of the past year in attempting to shut me up. Admissions of using my name and social security number in identification fraud, which people claimed I was making up when reported here last year. I guess as the saying goes, "Save the Last Dance for Me!"
Below is the final page from the Book

The following quote is from a commenter on Larry Sinclair's site that reminds people why Mr. Sinclair started on his journey.
Anonymous Al said...
This was never about making a personal attack upon Obama. As I recall it, all Mr. Sinclair initially sought to do in the Fall of 2007 was reach out to Mr. Obama, so he could refresh Mr. Obama's memory about his actual chronological illegal-drug use timeline.
Mr. Obama's campaign handlers' timeline suggested that his past illegal drug use was thirty years hence while in his youth, where Mr. Sinclair wanted that illegal drug use timeline to reflect a more recent use in 1999...
Somehow, in an effort to thrawt and marginalize Mr. Sinclair, persons yet to be determined within the Obama camp may have enlisted the aid of Mr. Young as a go between to determine if Mr. Sinclair would share his up close and personal storyline with others...possibly derailing/tarnishing the squeaky clean imagine they wished to present of Obama...
It'll be interesting to read this revealing book and finally connect some dots.
There are times in life when a standing ovation is appropriate... Given Mr. Sinclair's tenacity and determination in his own classic David vs. Goliath battle, where he was mocked, ridiculed, and threatened by a jeering enemy), he delivered on his promise. Take a bow, Mr. Sinclair.
Now if only those telepromter words could deliver more than more words...have to admit though, Obama is a good talker...
