"Exhausted" Obama supporter Velma Hart gets laid off

In September, Velma Hart told President Obama she was exhausted from defending his policies.

At a town hall, she said,

"I'm one of your middle class Americans. And quite frankly, I'm exhausted. Exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for," a woman told the President, as he smiled and appeared to giggle.

"My husband and I have joked for years that we thought we were well beyond the hot dogs and beans era of our lives, but, quite frankly, it's starting to knock on our door and ring true that that might be where we're headed again, and, quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer this honestly. Is this my new reality?"

Now, it seems she has another reason to hope for real change, instead of "hot dogs and beans".

According to an article at The Blaze, Hart was recently laid off from her position as the Chief Financial Officer for Am Vets, a Maryland-based veteran services organization.

Jim King, executive director of Am Vets, told the Washington Post Hart was laid off in a move to help the organization's bottom line. "She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line,” he said.

I remember this lady - she whined about supporting the Pres, and he gave her some lackluster answer.

Now, it looks like she's really gone from hope and change to franks and beans.

There's a video at the link. She still supports Odumbo.

She supported Obama in 2008, then things got tough.

She took on Obama, but then backtracks and supports Obama.

She loses her job, she still supports Obama.

Battered wife VOTER syndrome. Hard for me to feel sorry for her.

She stills supports him despite him giggling at her hardship. They never learn.

As CFO of Amvets, a charity I give to, I wonder just how much she was earning? If they can do without her you have to wonder how much she was actually doing for them.

“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.”

Good for her.

It was a full time job defending the incompetent, kenyan, marxist, usurper, so she had no time to do actual work (if she even has a clue what that is).

I have seen this woman's interviews and I'll bet if you asked her she would say it was George Bush's fault that she was fired.

Welcome to the new Socialist reality lady. Instead of voting for a slogan, she should have used her brain.

Obama is still busy redistributing wealth to the unions and other Democratic supporters.

I feel bad for nearly ANYONE who loses their job including this lady.

For all of her ‘supporting of Obama’ rhetoric, at least she worked for a living and was not openly looking for someone to pay her ‘mortgage and car payment’ like so many other Obama supporters we’ve had to endure.

If charities down there work like the ones up here in Canada, I'm sure they all got paid quite well... afterall you got to get rid of the profits somehow to maintain that 'non-profit' status ;)
