He Was For It Before He Was Against It...

Apparently, even when Obama helps make the rules, he doesn't believe he should follow them. From the article:
"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 in a statement. "The legislation which was passed last year requires that the president give a reason for the removal. 'Loss of confidence' is not a sufficient reason. I'm hopeful the White House will provide a more substantive rationale, in writing, as quickly as possible."
Obama voted for the legislation requiring specific notification to Congress of the reasons to dismiss an inspector general. Any move to fire an inspector general requires 30-days notice. Obama voted for the law to strengthen the independence of inspectors general." (emphasis mine)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Obama voted for that law before he realized he might one day have a problem with the independence of inspectors general.
