Our Dear Leader has removed a federal inspector general for daring to investigate the head of AmeriCorps.
The current head of of AmeriCorps is Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. An Obama supporter and former NBA basketball star appointed to the position by our Dear Leader.
Gateway Pundit notes that Obama signed legislation in April to vastly increase the size of Americorps from 70,000 to 250,000. in March the Senate voted to allow ACORN funding in this same bill.
How is that money being spent? Well, IG Gerald Walpin discovered that “millions of dollars in AmeriCorps funds that were wasted or misspent”, accord to the AP, and that Kevin Johnson was using AmeriCorps funds to have students work on “political activities, run personal errands for Johnson and even wash his car.”
The claim is that “Mr. Walpin’s allegations were meritless and clearly motivated by matters beyond an honest assessment of our program.” AmeriCorps does have repay over $400,000 it received in donations though. Whoops.
Byron York correctly identifies the bottom line in this matter.
The AmeriCorps IG accuses prominent Obama supporter of misusing AmeriCorps grant money. Prominent Obama supporter has to pay back more than $400,000 of that grant money. Obama fires AmeriCorps IG.
It’s that simple. A clear case of political corruption by a loyal supporter of our Dear Leader, and Obama responds by firing the government employee doing their job by reporting the corruption. This is what passes for “transparency” in the reign of democrat Barack Hussein Obama.
Update: Michelle Malkin has more, including the ACORN & Michelle Obama connections.

Ok, when I heard that an elderly anti-Semitic bigot who blames the US for 9/11 just shot up the Holocaust Museum, Rev. Wright did spring to mind. (wait for it…)
Well, Rev. Wright, who is a anti-Semite of long standing, who blames the US Government for the 9/11/2001 attacks and believes that the US Government created AIDS to kill black people, has been in the News lately. He has been quoted in the Daily Press as saying “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me.” The him he is referring to is none other than our Dear Leader, who attended Wright’s racist and anti-Semitic church for twenty years.
HT to Hot Air.

You remember William “Cold Cash” Jefferson, the Louisiana democrat congressman whom the FBI found $90,000, in cash, in his freezer. This is after a an informant told the FBI that he had given Jefferson $100,000, in cash, as a bribe. That was four years ago. Jefferson kept his office, with the support of Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the congressional democrat “leadership”, until he was finally voted out of office by the good people of Louisiana.
According the New Orleans Metro News, “Cold Cash” Jefferson is finally going to face trial, “facing 16 federal bribery and public corruption charges.” If convicted, the former democrat congressman could face up to 20 years in prison.
HT to Ms. Malkin.

Just how the porkulus money is being spent is something the Obama administration can’t tell us.
Posting “highly confidential safeguards sensitive” documents listing all the civilian nuclear sites and their activities in the United States on the Internet is apparently no problem.
I wish I was making this shit up. The official story is that this was an “accident“.
It would be comforting to think this was just another example of the incompetence that has been the norm for the Obama administration. However, given the mindset of the Obama political appointees who blocked the Justice Department staff lawyers from bringing charges of voter intimidation against the NBPP and by overruling the orders of two federal courts, stopped the State of Georgia from removing non-US citizens form their voter registration rolls, I can see one of those statist political appointee deciding that this is information that should be made available to the public. The actual threat to safety of American Citizens clearly isn’t part of their criteria.

Part I was our Dear Leader’s wife venturing out casually wearing $540 French designer sneakers.
Now it’s a tax payer funded “date night” trip to New York City on Air Force One our Dear Leader and his wife, while unemployment is climbing to Carter Era levels and Government Motors is expected to file for bankruptcy on Monday.
Our Dear Leader was “ready to rule on day one“, what he wasn’t ready for was to be the President of the United States of America.

Stephen F. Hayes at the Weekly Standard asks “Is Obama Trying to Kill the CIA?”
He makes some interesting points, but let us review the history of the democrat party.
“[I will] totally dismantle every intelligence agency in this country piece by piece, nail by nail, brick by brick” — Ron Dellums, D-Calif, 1993, after House Democratic Caucus elected Dellums chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
This behavior is nothing new. The last democrat President who saw National Security as a priority was John F. Kennedy.

According to the American Bar Association, Judge Sotomayor is a member of the National Council of La Raza.
Let us review what “La Raza” is. First thing, lets translate “La Raza” from Spanish to English. It means “The Race.” It is a Hispanic supremacy group with a fairly nasty history.
Sotomayor is very likely to be appointed to the supreme court. Our Dear Leader has a lot of political capital and his party has a very strong majority in Congress. That doesn’t mean that the Republican minority should roll over and rubber stamp her nomination.
Her legal history and rulings as a judge should be addressed and she should have to answer serious questions about them.

In his reaction speech to former VP Cheney yesterday, our Dear Leader said,
‘We are not going to release anyone if it would endanger our national security, nor will we release detainees within the United States who endanger the American people. As we make these decisions, bear in mind the following fact; nobody has ever escaped from one of our federal “supermax” prisons, which hold hundreds of convicted terrorists.”
This statement is a wonderful example of Clintonian word selection. It is a prime example of doubleplus good duckspeak. The Harvard Law School should be proud.
While nobody has ever escaped from a federal Supermax prison, our Dear Leader leaves out the very important fact that they are full to capacity.
Whoops! There I go again, injecting a dose of reality into a feel good BHO speech again!
By way of Ms. Malkin is this article from the Denver Post
Supermax’s approximately 480 concrete cells already are jammed with the likes of Oklahoma City bombing co-conspirator Terry Nichols, Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and other notorious domestic criminals. There also are 33 international terrorists, including Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind Ramzi Yousef and failed airline shoe bomber Richard Reid.
Only one bed was not filled Thursday at Supermax, U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Tracy Billingsley said.
Details like this are important, and one would hope that the President was aware of it. Which leads us the conclusion that the didn’t want the American people to know that he’s trying to pull another fast one.
Our Dear Leader is under pressure from his far left extremist base to close Camp Delta at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Unlike his far left extremist supporters, BHO has to deal with the actual reality of the situation, however distasteful that may be to him.

Both the democrat controlled House and the Senate voted against providing funds our Dear Leader wanted in order to close Camp X-Ray at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and move the Islamofascist terrorists there to other facilities in the US and abroad.
This is important for several reasons. For one, we found something that a majority of Congress isn’t willing to spend money on. That is a marked difference to the spendthrift ways Congress has demonstrated for too many years.
It also illustrates the point that Congressional democrats have to worry about reelection before our Dear Leader does. One can draw the conclusion that National Security still is in the mind of voters, especially centrist swing voters who may not be happy with the current administration’s handling of such vital matters.
It would be very entertaining to see Code Pink holding protests outside the offices of the Congressional democrat leaders for keeping Camp X-Ray open, but I’m not holding my breath for it. Code Pinko has shown itself to be a hyper-partisan far leftist organization instead a principled peace movement.

Personally, I don’t think Joey Biden, the democrat Vice-President of the United States of America, is a liar. Incompetent and highly prone to say things without even attempting engage his brain first, but not a liar in this case.
The case in point is Biden, who’s own party never trusted with a Senate leadership position that he couldn’t claim on pure seniority, leaked to the press the location of a secure safe room in the official Vice-President’s residence.
Leaked really isn’t the correct word to use here. Biden didn’t “leak”, he told members of the press over dinner at the Gridiron Club.
His staff is now spinning like a top on crack in an attempt at damage control. Biden’s aide Elizabeth Alexander had to officially deny Biden’s words to the press. The source of the story Ms. Alexander is denying is none other than the leftist pundit Eleanor Clift of Newsweek. Expect Obots to try and spin this latest Biden gaffee as yet another attempt by the right to smear Biden.
Ms. Clift, welcome to the vast right wing conspiracy. Your membership card and decoder ring will be delivered by secret courier as soon as he stops by Joe Biden’s “guest room” to pick up blank membership forms Vice-President Cheney left behind.
Update: Ace has some delicious snark on the subject.
Remember Cheney’s famous “undisclosed location”?
Somehow he managed to keep it undisclosed.
Joe Biden, who I am assured is much smarter than that idiot Sarah Palin, decided to disclose it, apparently.
He actually gives details. And the precise location. Which is right under his home.
Let’s be honest here. Biden is dumber than a stump. BHO picked him as VP for two very clever political reasons.
1. He helped bring Pennsylvania, an important state in the election.
2. The dude is better than bullet proof vest. The mere thought of President Biden is worth 20 Secret Service agents on the Presidential detail.
