As many of you know, Barack Obama recently fired inspector general Gerald Walpin suddenly and without just cause which is in clear violation of the law. Ironically, the law, which requires 30 days notice and a valid explanation before the firing of an IG, was sponsored by Obama while he was a senator. As if this wasn't enough to warrant skepticism, prior to his firing, Walpin had been involved in the ongoing investigation of a long time friend and financial doner of Barack Obama for misappropriation of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. In other words, Walpin was doing his job and was fired for it. When questioned about the purpose of the firing, the White House responded by insulting Walpin, calling him "Confused" and "Disoriented".Meanwhile, the media continues to sweep this (along with countless other questionable acts of our new president) under the rug.
