The controversy concerning the firing of Inspector General Walpin is beginning to pick up some steam. Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill authored legislation in 2008 requiring a President to give Congress 30 days' notice of a proposed firing of an Inspector General, and the cause for such a firing. Barack Obama co-sponsored the bill, but amazingly (or not) he has now broken the very law he co-sponsored by firing Inspector General Gerald Walpin. The law was original intended to keep the Bush administration from firing people who were acting in a manner inconvenient for the administration, but now B. Obama has put is own foot in the very trap set for the Bush Administration. Neverthess, I think he will not suffer much from this episode. The media is not interested in harming Obama and will consequently sweep the matter under the rug.
Overall, Obama continues to disappoint group after group who supported him. He has a several more to go, but he still has plenty of time for that. One group he has coddled is the UAW, on whom he bestowed 55% ownership of GM.

I agree with everything but I heard that the ownership of GM was less than 55%. Somewhere in the 20% range but I have not seen anything that would counter your claim of 55%. Standby...there is more to come from our sitting administration.
