A day after he questioned President Obama’s decision to unwind a major tenet of the health-care law and said the nation’s capital might not go along, D.C. insurance commissioner William P. White was fired.

White was called into a meeting Friday afternoon with one of Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s (D) top deputies and told that the mayor “wants to go in a different direction,” White told The Washington Post on Saturday.

White said the mayoral deputy never said that he was being asked to leave because of his Thursday statement on health care. But he said the timing was hard to ignore. Roughly 24 hours later, White said, he was “basically being told, ‘Thanks, but no thanks.’ ”(continued)

Blacks who veer from the progressive agenda are even more likely to be punished.

The machine has a lot of power. They snap their fingers and every major insurance exectutive hauls ass to Washington to meet with their king. Right after the king met with the Comcast honcho to see what needs to be done to secure their monopoly.

He takes the man's livelihood away from him.

Maybe Hannity can get him a job.

I’m not even sure the guy deserves the job, but it is interesting how vindictive Obama can be against people of color, just because they see things differently.

Does Hannity work to get folks jobs?

” He was recently given a new nick name by DC Dems, Uncle Tom. “

Uncle Tom: A black man who is ostracized, publically ridiculed and shamed (and possibly fired) because he dares to think for himself and/or do the right thing.

Dims are such racists.

Hannity called Obamacare and talked to an operator who said that people were not happy. She was fired and Hannity got her a job and people donated money.

Also the “DC Way”. Mayor Grey is turning out to be a bigger crook than his predecessors. Hopefully he will be joining them in jail in the near future.

Watch out for the “race card” defense, or the ex-Mayor, now censured City Councilman Marion Barry defend, “The bitch made me do it”.

At least Barry was smoking and eating crack at the same time.
Wonder what Grey’s on

Make no mistake about it. That gloom you see across the land isn’t the sun setting but an iron curtain descending.
(nearly 4 a.m. and i think i just made that up. i sure don’t recall reading anything like that).

When do the disappearances begin? Nothing seems to wake up this country. Obama is ruling by decree and all he gets in opposition is sputtering speeches in opposition.

He should be grateful. Somebody could have given him a heart attack.

Or a loved on could have died in a small plane crash..

No surprise here. A few years back, DC fired an employee for using correctly the word “niggardly.”
