Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) Throws Obama Under The Bus

Key Obama Ally Says President Obama Did Not Follow the Law in IG Firing
“The White House has failed to follow the proper procedure in notifying Congress as to the removal of the Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service,” McCaskill said. “The legislation which was passed last year requires that the president give a reason for the removal.”
McCaskill is largely credited with delivering Missouri for Obama in the 2008 elections. They are as thick as thieves, so we wonder what led up to her announcement denouncing her political hero.

Obama voted for that legislation.
“Words, just words…”
Actually, Obama co-sponsered it! Remember the outcry from the press when Bush fired the US Attorneys? Congress even investigated it to see if there was any impropriety.
