Obama Plays Hardball With Watchdogs (Chicago style)

Jun 25, 2009 - Obama Plays Hardball With Watchdogs By Robert Stacy McCain Gerald Walpin has quickly become the most famous of the three inspector generals who've left their jobs in recent weeks, exposing what appears to be a pattern of pressure from the Obama administration. In radio and television interviews, the silver-haired 77-year-old former AmeriCorps IG has certainly contradicted insinuations of senility that administration officials made in defending the quit-or-be-fired ultimatum that Walpin said he received on June 11. On Tuesday, Walpin released a letter signed by more than 140 allies -- including a former White House counsel to President Clinton -- attesting that they have never seen him "confused" or "disoriented," as the administration claims he appeared to be at a May 20 meeting. - 3 Comments
