Don't Bust An Obama Supporter
 

So the inspector general does his job but sense the guy supports Obama he gets fired. Then the Pres. makes up some story as to why he fired the guy and also ignored the law that he must wait 30 days for a colling off period before firing him. The funny part is that Obama brook the law he sponsored reguiring 30 day notice to congress before he can fire an inspector general.

The issued is that this president said it would be the most ethical administration and they have been far from that sense day one. Its like sadens thread about that guy having an affair after he talked about how important it is to protect marriage.

Didn't see it on the Yahoo! News homepage either. I don't know how relevant or necessary saden's thread was, but whatever we have plenty of irrelevant and unnecessary threads in the parking lot. Can't help but think this one was created especially to counter saden's thread. But maybe that's just my jaded thinking of how "political" discussion works here.

As for this mess, best as I can gather here it's wrong what Obama has done. And, two wrongs don't make a right, but an Obama supporter will "defend" it by citing something W did, and a W supporter will "defend" that by citing something Clinton did, Clinton-Reagan, Reagan-Carter, Carter-Nixon, Nixon-Kennedy, etc.

The best part of the whole story is that he probably brook the law that he sponsord about giving 30 day notice to congress.

You're dead on about the Obama vs. Bush argument. However the media is supposed to be a watchdog, not a prom date for the Administration (D or R).

I think the "he was fired because he went against a friend of Obama" is a bit of a reach...on the other hand, and maybe it's implied by the May 20 board hearing (which isn't even 30 days ag0), I don't see where the 30 day rule was honored.

This was not a political firing but a disciplinary firing according to the Obama administration. You are right in that the law wasn't honored. Honestly though, it is very difficult to get a bipartisan board to unanimously agree to fire someone and it's even more difficult to imagine having someone that showed up to work dazed and confused and won't follow the board's directions for an 30 additional days. Time will tell if anything nefarious was going on.

p.s. I can't envision Obama squandering his credibility on Kevin Johnson.

Even if he had reason he still broke his own law that he sponsored. I don't recall Bush getting a pass when he let go of those 4 judges that he had the right to fire at any time. Sure no double standard.

What happens with Walpin isn't my main issue, no matter who is proven to be right, it's a story that should be covered if the "mainstream" media was doing it's job and not jockeying for who's going to make-out with the President next. There was major, national media coverage of the attorney firings in the Bush Admin. I'd say firing an IG for investigation of an Obama associate, who was an NBA-star, deserves front-page coverage for at least a day or two. It would certainly generate some web-hits and ratings.

And nice to see we agree about the whole socialist, tearing at the fabric-of-America, thing. BTW, what's up with the YouTube clips and political debate....don't you have a diamond to pick out? :)

Do you know if he has been fired? If he is still at home collection a paycheck is he still technically fired? Formal notice was sent to congress last week and the guy could be on leave of absence for all you know. I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt yet you persist in your certitude in wrong doing.

LOL @ Obama associate. Jay-Z and Luda are Obama associate too, I hope they don't get into trouble. Come on dog, Fox News got your back, you don't need anyone else because they report and you decided.

I've decided to propose with an el-cheapo ring and then have her design her own ring from Blue Nile (with some input from me of course).
