Today on Beck, Byron York was on hand to discuss some funny business that went on last Thursday night during the middle of the night in Washington. You see, Barack Obama fired the Inspector General of AmeriCorps, but he did not give him any reason. The IG, Gerald Walpin, who was investigating Kevin Johnson for misuse of AmeriCorps funds, got a call late Wednesday night saying the president had lost confidence in him and gave him the offer to resign or be fire. Walpin refused to resign; especially considering his investigation into Johnson (a friend and contributor to Obama, as well as a former NBA player and current Mayor of Sacramento) had proven large misappropriations of AmeriCorp funds, and Walpin had done nothing wrong.

You see, what Obama did was actually violate a law that was passed in 2008, to which he was a co-sponsor of said legislation, that said any Inspector General who would be fired would require a 30-day notice to Congress, along with the listed cause for the firing. Walpin got neither. And he stood his ground, saying he did nothing wrong and was holding strong and speaking out as a warning to other IGs who might find themselves in disfavor with the President.

This is pure, unadulterated bullying, and it brings to mind one question: Where is the outrage of those in Congress over Bush’s LEGAL firing of the U.S. attorneys? Oh, yeah…not much to say there, huh? What a sham. But don’t count on one single MSMer reporting on this matter. It won’t happen.
