Obama's Nixon Moment

Today, Obama fired the Inspector General for Americorps, gerald Walprin. Walprin went after an Obama supporter, Kevin Johnson and St. Hope, of Sacremento, CA. Good Hope took over $850,000 and had to repay about half of that because of abuse. The. U.S, of course will never see that money as Good Hope is now insolvent.

The left went nuts because George Bush fired 9 U.S.Attorneys Will the left have all the outrage because Obama fires an inspector general because the IG was going after one of Obama's buddies? I think we know that answer.
The fact that St. Hope agreed to repay 1/2 of the money they received showed that Walprin did his job. The fact that St. Hope is now insolvent shows that St. Hope was poorly run and probably made some people some good money. And yet, Obama fires the person who had the guts to call them out and show that the taxpayer money was being abused.
Obama now has his Nixon moment- he is firing people to protect the corrupt people.
