A low level employee answering phone inquiries from customers trying to purchase health insurance through an Obamacare Exchange was summarily fired for publicly affirming that the process is unpopular. The incident occurred when Erling Davis admitted to talk show personality Sean Hannity that most of the callers she has handled expressed frustration and unhappiness with the cumbersome and complicated process.
“Negativity is a millstone around the neck of social progress,” said Administration adviser Valerie Jarrett. “Positive thinking is essential if we are to make the Affordable Care Act work. The accuracy or truthfulness of Ms. Davis’ observations is irrelevant. Her failure to project optimism and confidence at all times could undermine the American people’s belief in the President and his program for change. We had to let her go.”
Former Democratic National Committee chair and Vermont Governor Howard Dean supported Jarrett’s position saying “there’s this scene in Peter Pan where the mere thinking of happy thoughts enables the children to fly off to Neverland. Obviously, the importance of a positive attitude couldn’t be clearer. If the President is to succeed he needs everyone to be on the same page. Negativism of the sort displayed by Ms. Davis can’t be tolerated.”
Since Ms. Davis’ lack of the appropriate attitude was disclosed on his radio show, Hannity has committed to paying her a year’s salary ($26,000) and to assisting her in finding another job.
In related news, White House staffer Jofi Joseph was also fired for airing “unhappy thoughts” on his twitter account. Perhaps his most egregious offense was to suggest that GOP suspicions of a Benghazi whitewash might be on target.

A dream is a wish your heart makes..... If I only had a brain Jarret exclaimed!
If irrelevant, why did they fire her? This regime is currupt from top to bottom!!
We now know where the buck stops.
Hannity called up Odungocare on a second occasion that I heard on my drive home and spoke to another young girl. She also sounded not very bright, and could also only parrot her "We cannot discuss that" lines. Are those the only people they can get to man the phone lines, people with low-ish I.Q.s?
The whole thing, with its implications of a net drawing around us slowly, robbing us of our freedoms, is very scary.
