I voted for Obama. I read Todd's posts regarding the charges, counter-charges, serving at the prez' pleasure, etc. There's not enough information to know if there were truly legitimate reasons (lack of confidence having the potential of being real or being duplicitous). I think Obama should not have canned Walpin for the simple reason that it very easily appears to be a politically motivated firing, and he should have avoided that. There are other alternatives.
