It didn’t take long for Obama to use the power of his office to benefit his crony friends.
Kevin Johnson became mayor of Sacramento just a few weeks before Barack Obama became president of the United States. Johnson was not only a retired NBA star, but also a huge fan of Barack.
IG Walpin uncovered evidence that Johnson had taken St. HOPE grant money to influence an election, pad his staff’s salaries and pay people to wash his car and do his errands. Even worse, he was dipping into the fund to keep one of his young sexual abuse victims quiet.
As a retired NBA star and staunch Obama supporter, Johnson was clearly very high on Obama’s bff list.
In June 2009, rather than protect children from a known sexual predator and reward the IG who had exposed a sticky-fingered thief, President Obama sacked Walpin. Later the same year, he fired another IG for investigating the misuse of stimulus funds.
Obama and Johnson were both re-elected in 2012, no doubt because a complicit media helped cover up their crimes. Meanwhile, Obama … who campaigned on being more moral and transparent than any president before him, has cut appropriations for IG staff and refused to fill multiple vacancies.
President Obama went his entire first term without even NOMINATING an IG to watchdog fraud, waste and abuse in Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The last time there was an IG at State, Condoleezza Rice was Secretary and George Bush was President.
Obama? Moral and transparent? Pull the other one.

“The liberal media is complaining about this overreach of power. In truth they have no right to. They created this “monster” whose hubris taught him he could get away with anything.”

“There’s so much that you [Obama] CAN’T know because the government is so vast.” – David Axelrod
And when, when Bush was in office, Dems and media held him personally responsible for everything. A Marine raped a civilian in Iraq and they said Bush should be impeached. Congress agreed with the NIE about the likelihood Saddam had WMDs, but when they “didn’t find any”, it was because of Bush’s blood-thirsty evil oil greed.
According to my sources, they did find WMDs in Iraq and they also found evidence that stuff had been hastily removed to Syria before our troops arrived.
Whenever I think about this stuff, I can feel the veins in my neck start to bulge. I better stop before I have a stroke.
