Everybody who have lost their job, let's sue to get our job back! Only it would be that easy!!

George W. Bush nominated Walpin as Inspector General (IG) of Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Enough said! WALPIN SHOULD GO and leave that lawsuit behind, too.

You know, it's weird but I've got these words going around in my head. My invisible friend probably instigated this concept "serving at the pleasure of the President of the United States". Sorry if they're stuck in your head now too.

Reflective of another current issue: One of his specific damages is loss of health care coverage.

[betty22]

go for it I hope you win.....something is fishy to get fired without notice

[platanoman]

He was on notice

[mrskorn]

Not really. He was put on leave, AFTER he was told he was fired. I agree with Betty. Something is not right.

Read the article again. He was a loose cannon. He was asked to resign, he refused and was given notice. From what I read, the only thing that was fishy was why he wasn't fired earlier.

Next time throw him out of a higher window......

Walpin's own board recommended his termination. They dealt with him everyday, and they were
GOP'ers.

IG's serve at the pleasure of the President.

Seems to me this story has already crossed over the horizon into 'unimportant-land'.

sue to get your job back, and then sue obama for wrongful termination.

[dillydawg]

..........and spend your last dime in doing so. You'll loose and so will the American people loose in spending taxpayers $$$ in defending the foolish lawsuit. So cheer on as you (if you pay taxes) pay for his endeavor. It always amazing how so many people take pride in their ignorance. Cheer on baddadd49. Cheer On!

[1088]
