Exactly! Talk about an administration with a heavy hand that accepts no dissension, period! I can imagine Obama huddled in a corner thinking the 'Tea Party' is out to get him. Hello, Nixon II!
Yeah, I don’t have much admiration for Flipper either.
I’m surprised they are using onshore phone banks.
Yes. Hannity made clear at the outset that she knew that she was on the radio.
“When you work for the devil you might get FIRED!”
Obama is the devil, IMO. He is one freakin creepy, arrogant jerk. No one crosses him without getting backlash.
But Obama never rescues anyone under attack by his minions. Sarah was attacked about her kids. Joe the plumber had his divorce and licenses investigated.
Obama absolutely never stops the attack, or makes a move to protect people attacked is such personal ways He feigns detached innocence. But the very fact that he doesn’t forcefully stop these excesses means he is fully culpable.
I heard Hannity’s radio shows when he called the “health care” number.
The second call was to a woman who politely told Sean that she couldn’t answer most of his questions. That was the woman with the manager in the background saying, “Shut him down!” The listeners couldn’t hear the guy in the background, but Sean did. The woman told Sean a supervisor would call him back in two days to speak with him.
I think the lady who got fired was the woman Sean spoke to a day or two earlier on his radio show. The woman was very polite. When Sean asked her location, she said “Panama City, Florida.” She was honest about all the problems with the web site and the roll out of Obamacare in general, which is probably the reason she was fired.
Here is a story from July 26, 2013:
Obamacare Call Center Will Not Offer Healthcare Benefits to Employees
In order to ensure Americans understand how to access the benefits available to them when many provisions of the Affordable Care Act go online October 1, the Obama administration announced last month that it is setting up a call center that will be accessible to Americans 24 hours a day.One branch of that call center will be located in California’s Contra Costa County, where, reportedly, 7,000 people applied for the 204 jobs. According to the Contra Costa Times, however, “about half the jobs are part-time, with no health benefits — a stinging disappointment to workers and local politicians who believed the positions would be full-time.” The county supervisor, Karen Mitchoff, called the hiring process “a comedy of errors” and said she “never dreamed [the jobs] would be part-time.”
The Times indicates that a job posting advertised all of the jobs as full-time, and one call center employee, who said no reason for the apparent change was provided, told the paper, ”It reminded me of that George Clooney movie where he goes around the country firing people (‘Up in the Air’). The woman said, ‘I know you were led to believe you would be full-time, but things have changed…You are actually ‘part-time intermittent.’”
The Contra Costa employees are currently in training, and the call center — one of three based in California — is set to go live on October 1.
FWIW, here's the call center, just north of the intersection of Hwy 4 and Hwy 242.

13K to her and 13k to her child. He is also paying all of the gift taxes.
It would've been nice if they'd told her -- which they evidently didn't.
The second call was comical.
She blatantly read a statement that was handed to her and when Sean asked her if she had just read something that was handed to her, she said she couldn’t give out that information.
So they’ve fired the mole who was on Facebook because he insulted Valerie Jarrett. Now this little fish gets fired. But big stinky crooks like Holder and pathetically incompetent women such as Sebelius are kept on the payroll. It’s the Chicago thugs’ MO.
the incompetent ones get fat payouts and payoffs
the ones who utter the truth get fired
Banana Republic
You are correct, and I was thinking the same as he was talking to her. She was on the air with him for at least ten minutes. The outcome was predictable.
Still I'm glad she may end up in a better work situation as a consequence.
“The second call was comical.”
It sure was. The woman, while polite, was walking on eggshells with her supervisor hovering over her.
Me too and like I said, bad optic for Obamacare. Looks like they are picking on single mothers.
Just as I'm sure that Mike Wallace and all the crew at 60 Minutes also knew that they would put at risk all the people they ambushed, too.
The difference is that conservatives are expected to be, well, conservative... and be kind, and thoughtful of others, and respectful, and deferential, and honorable, and on and on.
We're not allowed to confront others, put them on the spot, even if they're just plain ordinary people trying to do a job for their evil master.

That was very classy of Sean and he’ll also find another job for her.
