The reasons given at the time were absurd and easily disputed. The reality of the situation was clear. Team Lightbringer fired a government employee for doing his job. The findings of Walpin were embarrassing not only to our Dear Leader, but to Empress Michelle as well, since the waste and corruption found was in one of her pet projects.
Inspector General Walpin wants his job back, and he has filed a suit in federal court stating that he was fired improperly for investigating a political appointee of the President. Of course, following its policy of removing any trace of transparency and openness in the federal government, the Obama White House is trying to have this case dismissed.
It’s time for Fox News to get over itself. Really, you just aren’t that special.
The Obama White House, in what must be part of their effort to be “the most transparent administration ever”, has now attacked the Associated Press. It seems that the AP committed the sin of noticing, and reporting, that the numbers Team Lightbringer has used for “jobs created or saved” have been inflated.
The Obama administration on Thursday slammed a report from The Associated Press alleging the government had overstated by thousands the number of jobs it has created or saved with federal contracts under President Obama’s $787 billion recovery program.
…
The review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs were credited to stimulus spending when, in fact, none were produced.
Within minutes of the publication of AP’s story, the White House released a statement at 12:15 a.m. Thursday that it said was the “real facts” about how jobs were counted in the stimulus data distributed two weeks ago.
…
A Colorado company said it created 4,231 jobs with the help of Obama’s economic recovery plan. The real number: fewer than 1,000.
A child care center in Florida said it saved 129 jobs with the help of stimulus money. Instead, it gave pay raises to its existing employees.
Elsewhere in the U.S., some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two, three, four or even more times.
The discrepancy raises questions about the reliability of a key benchmark the administration uses to gauge the success of the stimulus.
…
The AP’s review identified nearly 600 contracts claiming stimulus money for more than 2,700 jobs that appear to have similar duplicated counts.
What we are seeing here is the sadly typical Team Obama aversion to actual facts. They much prefer their own view of the world, where reality had best not rear it’s head.
Remember that our current President, Barack H. Obama has ties to ACORN that go back to his early days operating in the bed of corruption that is Chicago politics. His connection with ACORN, which is involved in yet another vote fraud scheme, this time in Troy, NY, has continued up to this day.
It will be interesting to see how the leftist weasels over at Media Matters try to spin this one.
It’s clear to see where our Dear Leader‘s priorities are. He has spoken with the General he personally place in charge of Afghanistan twice. He has had over 30 meetings to try to get the 2016 Olympics held the crime ridden city of Chicago.
Those people will be the political cronies of the Chicago democrat political machine. The people who supported our Dear Leader going back to his days as a “community organizer” and they now have their hands out. Paying off those political debts, with federal tax payer money, is clearly our Dear Leader‘s priority.
ACORN was caught not just proving information to cheat on taxes, they also provided information on how to hide under aged illegal immigrant prostitutes from the authorities. This was not an isolated incident either. This occur ed at three separate ACORN offices that we know of so far!
Illegal activity is nothing new for ACORN. Here is a short list of some crimes that they have been involved in:
Our Dear Leader had this to say about his ties to this criminal organization:
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.” — Barack Obama, Speech to ACORN, November 2007
The seven who voted for continuing federal funding for an organization that supports child prostitution included both democrats from Illinois and the Socialist Senator from Vermont.
Our Dear Leader lost a chance to reach across the aisle by firing this racist, communist, anti-American, but he decided to continue in his path of being the most divisive President since at least Richard M. Nixon.
This goes back to the issue of how did a Communist Troofer get into the inner circle of President of the United States of America? BHO has a vettingproblem from day one. Socialists, tax cheats and corrupt government officials have been perfectably acceptable for even cabinet officials in Team Lightbringer.
The folks in the White House obviously don’t see any of these issues, including 9/11 Trooferism and being admitted Communist, as a problem. The vast majority of the American people do see these as being a serious problem, which is just another example of just how out of touch with the average American our Dear Leader and Team Lightbringer are.
Why do democrats feel the need to lie in order “sell” their so-called “Health Care Reform” program to the American People? Probably because it has little or none to do with improving the Health Care of most tax paying American citizens.
On Aug. 11th our own Houston Chronicle displayed a picture of Shelia Jackson Lee hugging a woman who had asked a question at the townhall as well, but her question was in full support of the health care bill. The woman was identified as “Dr. Roxana Mayer, a pediatric primary care physician.” Turns out, she isn’t a doctor at all though. She had identified herself to the Chonicle that way though.
…
So, here we have someone asking a question, giving favor in support of the health care bill, posing as a doctor to give more credibility to her support. When in reality she was an Obama delegate and NOT a doctor.
If “Obamacare” really was beneficial to American Citizens, the simple truth would support the democrat’s policies. Since they feel the need to lie repeatedly about it, that should tell you all you need to know.
Excuse me, channeling Gary Trudeu there for a minute.
I’m better now.
You remember former democrat Congressman William “Cold Cash” Jefferson, who was voted out of office while fighting the charges that he took $100,000 in cash bribes.
The Justice Department’s case against him included the person who gave him the $100,000 in cash testifing that it was for a bribe and then finding $90,000 hidden in frozen food boxes in Jefferson’s home freezer.
Of course William “Cold Cash” Jefferson was defended as “innocent” by the democrat s0-called “leadership” including Nancy Pelosi.
Well, Congression Jefferson has had his day in court and “federal jury convicted a former U.S. congressman Wednesday of taking bribes on 11 of 16 counts in a case in which agents found $90,000 in his freezer.”
Former Rep. William Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa.
It took jurors five days to reach a decision after an eight-week trial.
Byron York reports that Gerald Walpin, the AmeriCorps inspector general who dared to uncover corruption by Obama political appointees and friends of Empress Michelle, is suing the federal government for an “unlawful” firing.
The Obama administration’s case was incredibly feeble and libelous to begin with. This will be an interesting case to watch.
