Obama Fires Investigator Probing His Friend
President Barack Obama says he has lost confidence in the inspector general who investigates AmeriCorps and other national service programs and has told Congress he is removing him from the position. Obama's move follows an investigation by IG Gerald Walpin of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who is an Obama supporter and former NBA basketball star, into the misuse of federal grants by a nonprofit education group that Johnson headed.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Give the man a break. I mean after all he is, is a community organizer!

Look at what BHO has done to our country in 5 months.
If he serves a whole term we won't ever have elections as we knew them again. He fires someone for investigating a crime and our country will end up in the hands of thugs like Eric Holder who dropped the charges against the ACORN thugs thugs who intimidated the voters this election.

WOW!!!.......Is he to be commended for this?. What's next.........beheadings???

The ACORN/AmeriCorp connection;
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/clyne200410311142.asp
(ACORN receives a combination of taxpayer money and money donated from organizations.)
"The nominal purpose of those (taxpayer) millions is to "provide low rent housing & loan counseling services to low income individuals." But if the government is funding the actual, legitimate work of ACORN at the local 501(c)3 level, it means that the national lobbying organization can dedicate more of its unrestricted resources to electioneering. Furthermore, explains Craig Garthwaite, director of research at the Employment Policies Institute, "The funding is not only fungible in that if they receive money for X, they can spend more on Y." He cites one particular example of money-rerouting malfeasance: the crooked dealings surrounding an AmeriCorps grant in 1996. "

I don't see how the Republicans can loose next election.....unless Acorn is counting ballots.
LlightSaber
Acorn will be out in full force. I hope the Republicans have figured out a way to deal with this. If they haven't by 2010, the elections will be lost to the Republicans. We've already had a sample of Holder's personal perception of justice with the Black Panthers incident. If you can, sign up as a poll watcher.
alienhead
second amendment. that is all.
JaneK - Born & Raised in The U.S.A
Contact local election officials and find out what they do to prevent voter fraud. Specifically ask about illegal alien votes -- in 2008 ACORN deliverd thousands of votes by illegal aliens -- many illegals said they were paid to vote two or three times under different names. Find out what you need to do to be a poll watcher. Ask the elections officials how they check and validate absentee ballots. Ask if they count all the military ballots. If we do not become involved, the elections in 2009 & 2010 will be stolen.

The guy is a communist. He's not eligible to be President of the US. Kenya maybe. Indonesia maybe but not the US.

I do not give financial aid to parties but only to individuals. We need to stop Obowma's rush to socialism. I'm giving to 9/12 candidates.

Oh. Patriot
Show us the birth certificate!This man needs to be impeached.He has sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution.He has broken that oath,along with most of congress.
Abisnana
I'm also in OH. I've applied to be on a Grand Jury to indict the squatter in the White House for fraud and treason. There is a groundswell of discontent with this communist.
Linda
We need to impeach that criminal before he completely destroys our freedom.
Abisnana
This man is a danger to our Republic. He's a communist dictator. The tea parties were just the beginning. There are many thousands who communicate on the internet. We are beginning a peaceful Revolution.

Impeach both K.J. & B.O.
Michael Frazee
Is there anybody in the audience that's surprised? The audaucity of this level of corruption in the public eye in front of God and the misled country that elected the schlub, but what can you expect of a people that will accept the broad daylight corruption of our President taking care of the organized labor that provided him with almost a half billion for his campaign? Get ready America the coming depression is something we'll all get to pay for-not just the people who make over 250k. How does a union get ownership of a car company that they've run into the ground?
Jean Howard
I whole heartedly agree, but there has to be something positive we can do to change the course of events. Our fore fathers did not just sit by while they were used for the benefit of others. We need to take action to change the course of events and stop the erosion of our freedoms.

achtung, achtung, the furoror is in charge, watch out Israel your next on oblameas list

We can change things in the 2010 elections. If you are a registered Democrat, vote for the Republican candidate and vice-versa. If you are an Independent or Liberterian you will do the right thing.
Cisco
I guess you missed it. He already stabed Israel in the back with his speech in Egypt.
TonyG
The message here is simple: Do my bidding or lose your job. BHO has done this with GM, the banks, and now healthcare. He's telling healthcare lobby not to talk with Republicans or else. This I.G. has got stones. He should be applauded. BHO is a fascist .
SAH
A fascist indeed. The true BHO before and after the election campaign. People are so gulible.

IT WAS THE GULIBLE, THE UNINFORMED & THE STUPID WHO PUT OBOZO-THE-CLOWN IN OFFICE. THE PRESS (ONCE THE WATCHDOG OF THE PEOPLE NOW THE LAPDOG OF THE CORRUPT) DID A GREAT DEAL TO SMOOTH THE WAY.
