DEJA VU?

Michelle Malkin writes on a potential scandal rearing itself in the first six months of BHO's administration. Michelle is evidently involved, which is the reason for this post's title. I also happened to hear her on the radio this morning pushing HEALTHFARE with the kids visiting her garden (Is that what a White House garden is for?).

Key 'graphs:


"But in the wake of Johnson's [Sacramento, CA's mayor]mayoral victory and Obama's election in November, the U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento rushed to settle with the new mayor so he could avail himself of federal stimulus funds and other government money. It was, Walpin said in his special report last month, "akin to deciding that, while one should not put a fox in a small chicken coop, it is fine to do so in a large chicken coop! The settlement ... leaves the unmistakable impression that relief from a suspension can be bought."

Shortly after, the White House announced that it had "lost confidence" in Walpin. With Walpin's removal, the top management positions at CNCS [parent organization of AmeriCorps] are now open. The decks are clear to install lackeys who will protect the government volunteerism industry and its Democratic cronies. And a chilling effect has undoubtedly taken hold in every other inspector general's office in Washington.

GOP Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa is pressing Obama for more details. Tough questions need to be asked of the first lady, who has "taken the lead" in selecting AmeriCorps' managers, according to Youth Today [an independent national publication focused on the volunteerisnm sector]. Her former chief of staff, Jackie Norris, will serve as a "senior adviser" to CNCS beginning next week. What role did they play in Walpin's sacking? And why?"


We will see where this goes. Where is the CHANGE?
