I wonder if anybody will even bother trying to make this stick. It's become pretty obvious that you only get Woodwards and Bernsteins when it's a conservative on the line...

Related: Obama to fire inspector general of AmeriCorps Obama AmeriCorps ‘Volunteers’ Actually Paid Employees I think AmeriCorps has always been paid, at least for people who sign up for a full-time commitment. |

Michelle Malkin has a post on this, including a first lady connection.
First Lady Michelle Obama’s chief of staff, Jackie Norris, is being sent to the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) in what is both a White House shake-up and an indication of the first lady’s sway over the corporation that oversees AmeriCorps, Serve and Learn and the Senior Corps.
Observers believe Norris, whom Obama came to know early in the Iowa caucus campaign, was forced out of the White House so that long-time Obama friend Susan Sher could take over. But those same observers see her appointment as senior adviser to the corporation as an overall win for CNCS, believing that Norris still will have a straight line to the White House. CNCS remains without a CEO after the withdrawal last month of Nike vice president Maria Eitel, even before her nomination went to the Senate. Although the corporation’s CEO must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, Michelle Obama reportedly has taken the lead in selecting the nominee. |

The central issue is that there is a law saying the President can't remove the IG. The IG is confirmed by the Senate and the President can not "at will" remove the IG. If they (Kevin and his non-profit) did nothing wrong, then why are they repaying half of the grant money? |

I would assume that he wants to turn Americorps into a federal version of ACORN and wants no interferance from anyone, including an Americorps IG.
My wife was a GED instructor at a local community college and her teaching assistants were all Americorps "volunteers." These "assistants" were paid $13-$15 an hour and got some time of redeemable credit they could later use to pay for further education (graduate or undergraduate). I could easily see this program turning into a government run and sponsered ACORN. |

And very pertinent if this is true. Obamas actions are very disturbing, every day I'm led to believe that he really is out to destroy america. The CIA and the FBI know exactly what he is doing and yet they let this domestic terrorist, enemy of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA get away with illegal BS and they do nothing who's side are they on?

Buffoon? Hardly.
While there are certainly some strong indications that Obama has some very deep and strong socilaist roots, his actions indicate a fascist policy (in the Mussolini vein). Obama, by his actions and rhetoric, is following Mussolini by either advocating or mandating government control of banks and manufacturing. From Wikipedia; "Paxton wrote that fascism is: a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.[24]" While some elements of this definition may not apply to what Obama has done or advocated, many other of the elements do. Also from Wikipedia; "Position in the political spectrum Benito Mussolini promoted ambiguity about fascism's positions in order to rally as many people to it as possible, saying fascists can be "aristocrats or democrats, revolutionaries and reactionaries, proletarians and anti-proletarians, pacifists and anti-pacifists".[25] Mussolini claimed that Italian Fascism's economic system of corporatism could be identified as either state capitalism or state socialism, which in either case involved "the bureaucratisation of the economic activities of the nation."[26] Mussolini described fascism in any language he found useful.[27][28][29][30][31][32] Eugen Weber places fascism on the right: "...their most common allies lay on the right, particularly on the radical authoritarian right, and Italian Fascism as a semi-coherent entity was partly defined by its merger with one of the most radical of all right authoritarian movements in Europe, the Italian Nationalist Association (ANI)."[33] Walter Laqueur says that historical fascism "did not belong to the extreme Left, yet defining it as part of the extreme Right is not very illuminating either", but that it "was always a coalition between radical, populist ('fascist') elements and others gravitating toward the extreme Right".[34] Roger Griffin argues that since the end of World War II, fascist movements have become intertwined with the radical right, describing certain groups as part of a "fascist radical right".[35][36] Stanley Payne notes the alliances and sometimes fusion between fascists and right-wing authoritarians, but stresses the important differences between the two,[37] and contends that German Nazism was closer to Russian communism than to any other noncommunist system. [38] Zeev Sternhell sees fascism as an anti-Marxist form of socialism.[39] On economic issues, fascists reject ideas of class conflict and internationalism which are commonly held by Marxists and international socialists in favour of class collaboration and statist nationalism.[40][41] Italian fascism declared its objection to excessive capitalism which it called supercapitalism.[42]" So, you can disparage any that would claim that Obama is a fascist based on your assumption that fascism is only ethnically based or stems from a far, right-wing philosophy. But, you do so at your own peril of being called a "buffoon". |
