Obama fires AmeriCorps inspector general

Gerald Walpin was given an ultimatum to resign or be fired as the AmeriCorp I.G., tasked to ensure organizations receiving federal grants aren't misusing the funds. It appears that Walpin is let go because of his investigation into St. Hope, founded by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and a top Obama supporter.

Walpin was doing his job, but somebody in the W.H. isn't happy about him digging into Johnson's papers. Definitely dirty politics in play. Welcome to Washington, Chicago style...
