I hear vague mumblings in the legacy media about Barack and Michelle Obama's recent dismissal of the Inspector General for AmeriCorps, Gerald Walpin. The Obamas say that Walpin is confused, disoriented, and basically crazy.
But only after Walpin uncovered evidence of millions of dollars' worth of fraud at AmeriCorps, which Michelle Obama has a hand in controlling.
(AmeriCorps is a government-run, taxpayer-funded "community service" organization which was established in 1993, during the Clinton era. The Inspector General's office is specifically tasked to be a watchdog over AmeriCorps, to find and stop the inevitable fraud and waste that occurs with such agencies.)
This scandal smells like both Clinton's Travelgate and Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre, all delightfully rolled into one steaming pile.
It will get more interesting from here, I think.

Politics is the art of peddling change while often keeping things pretty much the same.
What? A potential scandal somehow related to and/or involving the Obamas? I'm shocked.
