I think this was another lady that he talked to with the “Shut him down” guy.
This lady was very well spoken when he called. Answered his questions very well and did an excellent job overall.
$13K to her, and $13K to one of her children.
I think that was done to avoid the tax.
In every company I’ve worked for, if you speak to the press without permission, you will lose your job.
Of course, they’ll say Obama wasn’t the one who order her to be fired. He’ll say he read about her firing in the newspaper...
26K....13K for her and 13K for one of her children so that he could LEGALLY AND TAX FREE compensate her for her loss of job.
Fear is the hallmark of a tyrannical government..................
political persecution is alive and well in Hollyweird, the media, academia and government hiring
Boehner and Mcconnel should hold an obamacare pr featuring this lady and a dozen people who lost their insurance due to obamacare.
Hannity is a good guy. His actions outed the vindictive nature of obots.
re: “Does this woman work for an outside contractor, or is she a GOV employee? I’m going to guess it’s the former, since it’s virtually impossible for a GOV employee to be fired.”
I think she worked for a contractor, however if a federal government employee expresses conservatism they a usually cashiered quite easily as well.
State employees who say “the wrong thing” (i.e. Christian views, conservatism, etc.) are also gotten rid of pretty quickly, union or no union.
But did she know she was talking to the “press”?
Boy, if he’s doing that, you’re absolutely right.
He bores me to tears but he does walk the talk.
She can replace Flipper any old time..
Depends. Many times I have conducted business with people in the media/press, but it was business.
If they wanted to know more about certain policies etc....there's a PR office to handle that stuff.
So it truly depends on if Hannity was trying to enroll in ACA or if he was interviewing her.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
Post of the day!!!!
She may not have realized, but he did ID himself and let her know who he was and ask her permission to continue. I am not saying I think she deserved to be fired and I’m glad she spoke to him. But this is a big no-no. He should have known he put her at risk too. I am glad he compensated her. Firing her is also a very bad optic for Obamacare.
It was 13K for her and 13K for one of the children.
Remember when Ohio state officials went after Joe Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber), after Obama walked past his driveway during a photo op and Wurzelbacher asked Obama a simple question that prompted Obama's gaffe of "spreading the wealth around?"
Wurzelbacher was minding his own business when Obama walked by, yet Democrats went after Wurzelbacher because it was his question that forced the Obama error, which made Obama look bad.

I worked for MSFT PR for many years, some of it during the anti-trust lawsuit. They drill it into the whole company, do not speak to the press without permission. I also worked for Allergan (they make Botox), same thing.
Well, Obama and all the rest of the "public servants" work for me, and that's not my policy.
