If you’ve not been following Glenn Beck on this story, he’s been covering the illegal firing of Inspector General Walpin which is nothing less than a travesty. Here’s a man who was 75 when President Bush asked him to serve his country, only to be smeared by Obama because he was doing his job:
Walpin pressed hard to prosecute Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson for defrauding the government over more than $400,000 in community service grants. Johnson, an Obama supporter, got a deal from the White House that allowed him to manage federal funds again and avoid paying back at least half of the grant money he used illegally. The White House cut Walpin out of those negotiations, and Walpin went to Congress about it.
At that point, the White House called Walpin and told him he had an hour to resign or be fired. Now, if the White House thought that Walpin was somehow incapacitated or disoriented, why bother to make that call at all? In fact, wouldn’t an employer with an ounce of empathy send the employee to a physician for diagnosis first? Even without the empathy, the proper course would have been to address the issue with Congress first instead of making an intimidation attempt to someone the White House now paints as all but senile.
Now the Obama administration is claiming that they fired Walpin because he was nothing short of senile. This is a ridiculous accusation and I hope that we get outrage from the left, like we had when bush legally fired the lawyers that served at his pleasure.
Below is Beck’s second interview with Walpin.
