Obama lies will in time destroy the Democrats short term http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/19/removal-of-an-inspector/
>>> Mr. Obama - who made bales of political hay over former President George W. >>> Bush's Justice Department firings - has now proven he's no different. >>> Specifically, he has trampled all over the intent of the very law he >>> co-sponsored last year, which requires the president to give Congress 30 >>> days notice and an explanation of cause before firing inspectors general. Apparently, shielding his political allies from the consequences of their actions wasn't enough - Mr. Obama had to take it a step further by bending the law to exact vengeance on an investigator who was merely doing his job. In true Chicago "gangster" fashion, getting his crony off the hook was merely a prelude to the larger operation - silencing future dissent. Thinking he could do as he pleased, Mr. Obama's initial justification for this cool display of corruption was that he had "lost confidence" in Mr. Walpin. When Republicans and Democrats in Congress refused to be mollified by this explanation, the White House shifted into "plumbers" mode. Now the Obama machine is engaged in an elaborate campaign to smear Mr. Walpin, accusing him of being "confused," "disoriented" and "unable to answer questions." We've seen this sort of behavior before - from a president who eventually had to give up his office. The firing of Gerald Walpin is a chilling reminder that for all of Mr. Obama's talk of change - and sponsorship of legislation that appears to provide it - many of his actions are nothing more than glorified political thuggery, providing protection to his friends and retribution to his enemies. The only question is when conduct like this catches up with him. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
