When Alberto Gonzales fired some federal prosecutors it was legal and well within the power of the POTUS, yet Democrats had to find some way to lynch him because of alleged political cronyism. I guess this cronyism is only OK when it is done illegally. Case in point: Obama firing Inspector General Gerald Walpin. HotAir has an exceptional writeup about this bubbling controversy here. Even Claire McCaskill couldn’t justify this act of Chicago thuggery by Obama!

From: ABC News:

After being briefed today on President Obama’s firing last week of Gerald Walpin, Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said the president did not abide by the same law that he co-sponsored – and she wrote – about firing Inspectors General.

“The White House has failed to follow the proper procedure in notifying Congress as to the removal of the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service,” McCaskill said. “The legislation which was passed last year requires that the president give a reason for the removal.”

McCaskill, a key Obama ally, said that the president’s stated reason for the termination, “Loss of confidence’ is not a sufficient reason.”

She added that she was “hopeful the White House will provide a more substantive rationale, in writing, as quickly as possible.”

Here is Walpin’s interview with Glenn Beck:

“Sunshine is the greatest disinfectant”
