More On The Firing Of IG Gerald Walpin; UPDATED

June 18, 2009

Hmmm…looks like I spoke too soon when I compared Obama’s firing of the Inspector General to Bush’s firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

As it turns out, the President can not fire an Inspector General without 30 days notice, and without submitting the reasons for the firing in writing. Obama did neither of these things, which is a violation of the law.

Obama’s initial reason for the firing was to say that he had lost confidence in the Inspector who was about to bring down Kevin Johnson, who by the strangest coincidence is a friend of Barack Obama’s. The fact that AmeriCorp, one of St. Barry’s trusted “government service” groups was going to be caught up in the scandal probably didn’t help.

But saying you’ve lost confidence in someone? Come on…that’s how nice guys do bad things. That’s not the Chicago way.

The new reason is that IG Gerald Walpin is apparently suffering from senile dementia, is not lucid, and may just pull a gun out and start shooting! Okay, I made that last part up. But as for the accusations that the Inspector General may be one step away from being completely non compos mentis, well, that part’s true. And really, really, beyond disgraceful.

Michelle Malkin has a good column up about it.

UPDATE: The Washington Examiner has an article up quoting Norman Eisen, the White House Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government Reform, describing the firing of Gerald Walpin as an act of “political courage.” So firing a man who is about to wrap up a corruption case involving your friend, and then smearing the man as being not quite right in the head, is now courageous. I think that one is beyond even Orwell’s imagination.

Obama Murders Fly; Media Cheers

June 18, 2009

After President Obama ruthlessly murdered a poor, defenseless, maybe even homeless, fly to the cheers and laughter of his media sycophants, one group has shown that it will stand up and refuse to work for the Clampdown!

You can always count on PETA to liven things up with a little bit o’ lunacy.

UPDATE: Iowahawk has a funnier take on it. Curse him!

Report: North Korea to fire test missile in our general direction

June 18, 2009

According to this report, North Korea is planning on firing a test missile in the direction of Hawaii in early July. Even at an optimum range, the missile will fall about 500 miles short of Pearl Harbor, but can we at least all agree that it’s the thought that counts?

I’m sure St. Barry will be “deeply troubled” or perhaps even “concerned” by this. He might even give a speech recognizing North Korea’s right to have nukes and their understandable anger at America for keeping North and South separate and unequal these past 56 years. This acknowledgment of our flaws will then be followed by, “But nuking Hawaii won’t make that right again. We need to move forward together.”

If this report is true, and if North Korea does launch a long-range ballistic missile in the direction of Hawaii, Obama must order the missile blown out of the sky by whatever means possible (which may be harder now what with the gutting of missile defense in lieu of money for ACORN and other favored groups). Anything short of a direct, swift response to this challenge would be to admit that we will bend over for any bully who challenges us. It would be an act of cowardice by an American president the likes of which have not been seen since Jimmy Carter trembled in fear at the approach of a killer rabbit.

It would also be perfectly in keeping with Obama’s modus operandi.

The Obama Time Capsule

June 18, 2009

Oh. My. God.

Now let’s see, what would I put in a time capsule to acknowledge the Obama presidency so that future generations can learn?

  • Mainstream media-approved knee pads
  • A shredded copy of the Constitution
  • A teleprompter
  • A copy of Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism
  • A GM Hummer and a Chrysler Minivan
  • Keith Olbermann
  • A “One Big Ass Mistake, America” bumper sticker
  • Gitmo detainees we can’t bribe other countries to take off our hands
  • Chris Matthews’s rended trousers from when the tingle shot up his leg
  • Every issue of Newsweek that features Obama on the cover (i.e., every issue of Newsweek)
  • CD single of Living Colour’s “Cult Of Personality”
  • A collection of DVDs autographed by England’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
  • Ear plugs, eye shades, and a cork to represent the Obamadroids out there
  • Every man, woman, and child in this evil, horrifying video

The Crybaby-In Chief

June 17, 2009

Have we ever had a President with thinner skin than Barack Obama? Like him or hate him, George W. Bush had skin like leather. But here’s Barack Obama on CNBC whining about how Fox News is devoted to attacking him all day long:

Fortunately for the Crybaby-in-Chief, he has CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today and countless other media outlets willing to strap on their knee pads and fellate him at the drop of hat. And as for Fox, their liberal commentators like Kirsten Powers, Juan Williams, and Bob Beckel do a much better job of defending Obama than the fawning sycophants like Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Obama should be grateful to Fox News…it’s the one place where you can hear reasonable defenses of the Administration without all the drool.

No President has ever had so many palm fronds laid at his feet by the media. For him to complain about any criticism just shows what a thin-skinned amateur he really is.
