On the heels of the firing of Gerald Walpin, Inspector General of the Corporation For National and Community Service, for exposing one of Obama's friends, Kevin Johnson, Mayor of Sacramento, for the misapplication of an $850,000 AmeriCorps grant, EPA analyst Alan Carlin's head may now be next on the chopping block.
Alan Carlin co-authored a 98 page report citing the decline of global warming over the past 11 years and argued that the data that the EPA relies on to make its case for global warming is out of date. Because of this report, Carlin was reassigned with the following email commentary from Carlin's boss, Al McGartland:
"The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision," he wrote, according to the e-mails from Carlin's boss. "I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office."
It is notable that this suppression occurred prior to the House Of Representative's passage of the Cap-And-Trade legislation and they did not have this information available to them prior to the vote.
If Inspector General Walpin's treatment is any measure of what Alan Carlin can expect, he will be subject to termination, by President Obama, in the near future.
Recent legislation regarding the termination of Inspectors General, co-sponsored by none other than, then Senator Barack Obama, makes it mandatory that, prior to any termination, the Office of the President must give Congress 30 days notice and a reason PRIOR to terminating an Inspector General. None of this was accomplished prior to IG Walpin's termination.
It is unclear whether former IG Walpin plans to file a wrongful termination lawsuit, however, it is clear that any who oppose President Obama will be subject to pre-publication censorship and/or termination.
The transparency that President Obama has promised seems to be getting a little foggy.
