The woman who told President Barack Obama that she was "exhausted" from defending him and his economic policies and waiting for the change she expected after voting for him has another reason to be put out: She's lost her job.
Velma Hart, the chief financial officer for Am Vets, a veteran services organization based in Maryland, said Monday in an interview with CNBC that she was laid off as part of the nonprofit's effort to cut expenses.
"I want to focus on the positive and be optimistic," said Hart, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Md. "And assume that somehow things will work out, that there's an opportunity out there with Velma's name on it that's right around the corner."
Am Vets executive director Jim King told The Washington Post that the nonprofit was looking for ways to survive financially.
"It's not anything she did," King told the Post for a story that appeared online Monday. "She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line."

the hot dog and beans have come home to roost
How’s that hopie-changie thang workin’ out for ya, Velma?
Pick up a shovel. At least there are plenty of those to go around.
A dollar to a donut says that she is a victim of the ‘Joe the plumber’ syndrome.
And then they came for her.....
And you’ll still vote for him in 2012.....welcome to your new reality.
Yep, whenever a Liberal says that it’s not anything she did.
A famous woodcut shows Vlad the Impaler feasting in a forest of staked victims famously known as the Forest of the Impaled.
In this forest is a story of Vlad’s “sense of humor”: a servant was holding his nose and Vlad said to him while feasting, “Why do you do that?” The servant replied, “I cannot stand the stench.”
Vlad immediately ordered him impaled on the highest stake and said, “Then you shall live up there, where the stench cannot reach you.”
she should stay being a low-level employee right? shouldn’t look to getting a better job. that’s what mz. buma told a group of kids.
Did Zero ever clarify what he meant by “no such thing as a shovel-ready” job? I didn’t get that he was predicting the stimulus would have a delayed effect...that the jobs would be materializing any day now. Rather, I got that he was conceding that the jobs wouldn’t be coming.
a happy ending :)
Every time a liberal loses their job while Obama is president, somewhere I am smiling :P
So sad - Obama hasn’t moved fast enough to turn America into a Socialist/Communist State, letting so many people down who want government dependency by living off the taxes of hard-working people to take care of them.
“She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people.....Barak Hussien Obama”
I think she was incredibly brave and honest to speak up.
Typical deranged liberal, unable to learn from experience.
Yes, and for a brief moment her conservative side showed through. Then she remembered who she worked for.
And now she will serve as an example to others to never make that mistake.
Hart concluded, “Quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer this honestly: Is this my new reality?”
