BHO fires AmeriCorps IG for exposing the fraud in it.

And the chit gets deeper.

I don't think Mr. Obama has a clue how bad this could get for him.
If it is uncovered that ANY of Mr. Walpins' accusations are true, even the media that is totally run by Obama will be able to keep a lid on it.

Interesting timing. I just got this today from BO. Could Walpin have put a crimp in his plans to promote his AmeriCorps? (Remember, BO just tripled the size of AmeriCorps with our tax $)

Dear Friend,

Last week, I announced United We Serve – a nationwide call to service challenging you and all Americans to volunteer this summer and be part of building a new foundation for America.

And when I say “all,” I mean everyone – young and old, from every background, all across the country. We need individuals, community organizations, corporations, foundations, and our government to be part of this effort.

Today, for the official kick off of United We Serve, members of my administration have fanned out across America to participate in service events and encourage all Americans to join them.

The First Lady is rolling up her sleeves and getting to work too. But before she headed out today, she asked me to share this message with you.

Our nation faces some of the greatest challenges it has in generations and we know it’s going to take a lot of hard work to get us back on track.

While Michelle and I are calling on every American to participate in United We Serve, the call to service doesn’t end this fall. We need to stay involved in our towns and communities for a long time to come. After all, America’s new foundation will be built one neighborhood at a time – and that starts with you.

Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Wow, a month ago Inspector General Walpin was cleared of any wrongdoing - duhhhh. But did anyone hear about his innocence in the news? Nope.

"The AmeriCorps inspector general fired by President Barack Obama, Gerald Walpin, has been cleared by a federal investigation into allegations that he improperly interfered with a criminal inquiry into alleged misuse of government funds, according to a letter filed in federal court Monday night.

The claim that Walpin withheld evidence in the inquiry into the Sacramento-based St. Hope Academy, an organization founded by ex-NBA star Kevin Johnson, was among the allegations the White House cited when senators asked Obama to justify his firing of Walpin...

The letter clearing Walpin was filed Monday night by his lawyers in connection with a lawsuit he filed asserting that his firing was illegal. As I noted in a blog post last month, the Justice Department has argued that Walpin's firing was legally effective, even if Obama did not give proper notice to Congress."

"Indeed, Mukasey wasted no time taking on President Barack Obama for his illegal conduct, but the first punch thrown was on an unexpected subject--his firing of Americorps Inspector General Gerald Walpin.

In a somewhat jarring conflation of two disparate storylines, the legal group chose Walpin to introduce Mukasey. After taking the lectern, the former attorney general and federal judge lauded Walpin and declared that Obama violated the law when he removed Walpin from his post in June."
