Interesting bit of news from Byron York:
Congressional investigators looking into the abrupt firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin have discovered that the head of AmeriCorps met with a top aide to First Lady Michelle Obama the day before Walpin was removed.
According to Republican investigators, Alan Solomont, then the chairman of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps, had denied meeting with Jackie Norris, at the time the First Lady’s chief of staff. But recently-released White House visitor logs show that Solomont met with Norris on June 9 of this year (as well as on two earlier occasions). President Obama fired Walpin on June 10 after an intense dispute over Walpin’s aggressive investigation of misuse of AmeriCorps money by Obama political ally Kevin Johnson, the mayor of Sacramento, California.
After being presented with the visitor logs, investigators say, Solomont explained that he met with Norris to discuss Corporation business but did not discuss the Walpin matter. When pressed, Solomont said he might have made an offhand comment, or a mention in passing, about the Walpin affair, but that he and Norris did not have a discussion about it.
Shades of the Clinton-era White House Travel Office scandal! This does smell very much of that sewer we know of as Chicago machine politics. Protect your flunky by getting rid of the man who might find out the truth – all very easy; and it just takes a wink and a nod in the right place. Its not like Michelle Obama or her staffer would have to call and order the firing…just the right hint at the right time works very well for those versed in Chicago politics…as are the Obama’s and their staff.
What I think is being hidden here is the manner in which the Obama Administration plans on using AmeriCorps as an arm of the DNC as well as the Obama 2012 campaign and as a source of that infamous “walking around money” so vital to Democrat grassroots politics – why go through all the trouble to raise money and shell it out to local political fixers when you can just give a “grant” in the AmeriCorps budget for a “community organizer” who ensures the ballots boxes are properly stuffed on election day?
As I’ve said before, once we get the lid off the Obama Administration, I think we’ll find it the most corrupt in American history.

Ah, if it were Bush that did this, these two pathetic liberal moochers would be jumping up and down with the usual talking points, that Bush is hiding something and the demands for Congressional investigations.
Now, with there guy in the White House and their kneepads firmly in place, there is nothing of interest.
Typical and pathetic.

RE: this pales compared to no nukes.
Oh, but there were nukes. Smuggled into Syria by land and by converted 747 passenger jet.
apples and oranges, oo.
BTW, the looters voted for the war also. When they realized their teats would be in the wringer as well, they backed off.
Remember the so-called 7 judges (who serve only at the president’s discretion) that were fired because they, according to the talking points, disagreed with Bush. They could not wait to start the investigations.
You and your party are shallow when it comes to ethics and the law. But you are too mindless to speak out otherwise.

Is Jeremiah retarded?

No, sadie, Jeremiah is not retarded (mentally challenged), he is just ‘religious’. He has the righteous malady and does not seek a cure from this disorder. If you do not want to become infected, it is best to leave him alone.

TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) – An 8-year-old boy was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after he was asked to make a Christmas drawing and came up with what appeared to be a stick figure of Jesus on a cross, the child’s father said Tuesday.
Chester Johnson told WBZ-TV that his son made the drawing on Dec. 2 after his second-grade teacher asked children to sketch something that reminded them of the holiday.
“is jeremiah retarded?”
No, but co, oo & demon ho are. Nice deflection from the subject at hand. Besides no one said that Iraq had working nukes but an active program to develop on. But this talking point has been shot to hell (no pun intended demon ho), but the mindless lemming useful idiots keep repeating it.
I do believe Ohioorrin needs to get some new talking points, Canadian Observer too.
