Obama Wants to Fire Independent Watchdog for Investigating Corruption

Kevin Johnson, formerly of the Phoenix Suns and a big Obama supporter, is now mayor of Sacramento. He has apparently misused Americorps funds for his own personal errands and is being investigated by an independent Inspector General.

Now Obama wants that inspector general fired. Just like his dropping of the investigation into the Black Panther voter fraud, Obama wants none of his supporters punished for wrongdoing.

Byron York has the summary:

Bottom line: The AmeriCorps IG accuses prominent Obama supporter of misusing AmeriCorps grant money. Prominent Obama supporter has to pay back more than $400,000 of that grant money. Obama fires AmeriCorps IG.
