Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

UPDATE: Obama fires (and hamstrings) more Inspectors General

UPDATE(S) BELOW.

You thought that Obama would stop the Chicago thuggery at just one independent IG who was investigating an F.O.B. (Friend of Barack’s)?  Think again.  Details from Ed:

The firing of Gerald Walpin as Inspector General was not an isolated incident, as the Chicago Tribune reports today.  Two more IGs have been dismissed in the past two weeks, and Senator Charles Grassley has started demanding answers.  The sudden push to rid the government of independent watchdogs appears to coincide with Barack Obama’s plans to use government spending to get control over more aspects of American life, such as with stimulus spending, the financial sector, and volunteer organizations (via Dan Riehl) …

Ed has the video (that you must see) that connects the dots and dispenses with the lie that there are any coincidences here.

Concludes Ed:

We are seeing a pattern, no longer just a single data point. IGs work independently to protect taxpayers from corruption and abuse from its own government agencies. A coordinated attack on IGs certainly suggests hostility to that mission, which isn’t the Hope and Change Obama promised on the campaign trail.

Corruption, BO style.  And the MSM will run interference for him on this issue, an issue that in the past would have had them howling like Ted Kennedy after an all-night raging kegger.

UPDATE (06/18/2009 – 07:04 PM EST): Uhhh-bama is calling his decision to break the law in the firings an act of “political courage“.  This man’s arrogance is breathtaking.  Or, if you’re Chris Matthews, leg-thrilling.

  1. You can take a politician out of Chicago but not the Chicago political thuggery out of the politician.
    I wonder if this new state-run media are all members of the Sopranos’ Family?

  2. In other news, investigations into firings of attorneys by President Bush are still ongoing.
