"I would never say President Obama doesn't have the capacity to continue to serve because of his (statement) that there are 56 states."
That from Gerald Walpin after being fired by the President from his post as Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service and which appears to be as a result of his investigations into the misuse of federal grants by a nonprofit education group led by Sacramenton Mayor Kevin Johnson. You see, as far as can be ascertained, the President fired Walpin because he thought that maybe ol’ Gerald was a little koo-koo.
We’re simply mystified by this Walpin business. Did the Administration think that no one was going to find out about this and did they not think through the fall-out considering that it was the President that co-sponsored the bill regarding the firing of Inspectors General?
You don’t get away with this at the national level. Maybe in the machine politics of, say… Chicago, perhaps, you can pull this stunt – but not on the national stage.
This is trouble for Team Barry especially since the old man doesn’t show any signs of backing down as the above smack would indicate. He’s also making the cable news show rounds. Check out clip here of him taking… and (wait for it) passing an official senility test on the Glenn Beck show.
Unlawfully firing a dedicated public servant for doing his job and then smearing him as justification for the firing is certainly the Hope and Change we’ve been waiting for. How about you?

We were told that if we voted for McCain we would see the continued politicization of the Justice Department. Dang if we weren't warned.
