The woman whose story of economic recovery was showcased by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address is a former Democratic campaign staffer and has been used by Obama for political events in the past.

Rebekah Erler has been presented by the White House as a woman who was discovered by the president after she wrote to him last March about her economic hardships. She was showcased in the speech as proof that middle class Americans are coming forward to say that Obama’s policies are working.

Unmentioned in the White House bio of Erler is that she is a former Democratic campaign operative, working as a field organizer for Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.).

RE:”Woman Showcased by Obama in SOTU is a Former Democratic Campaign Staffer”

Obama is like the phony faith healer who has his assistants dress up in costumes and pretend to be healed on stage to get $$$ from the sucker audience.

one TV was recently playing an old Good Times episode where James Evans gets offered a job by a phony faith healer pulling that trick.

that’s because of the niggardly Republicans

You do know you could lose your job for saying that around some people.

Every time Barry and his commie ‘RATS need a warm and fuzzy, touchy feely story, they have to grab somebody who is already a useful idiot on one of their DemocRAT payrolls. Average, hardworking Americans won’t allow themselves to be used by a bunch of America-hating commies for propaganda purposes.

I’m trying to recall ONE time that Obama wasn’t exposed for using a shill, after the fact. Doesn’t matter, MSM is silent.

does this ever stop?
This is the third article I have clocked on and fond that the media will not report on this due to them not wanting to hurt their party of their messiah.

The GOP should get out in front of the cameras and raise these issues to the public seeing as our pathetic biased media will not report on it.

Seems Rebekah Erler needs all the financial help she can get to bail her drunken, doper husband out of jail & pay off his lawyer bills.

The confidence game `Three Card Monte’ needs a winner, too, to `prime the pump’.
This is just “the most transparent administration ever” in action.
Boehner, McConnell, Issa, Gowdy & Co. will call the Democrats on it ...

January 19 -- Los Angeles Times

Rebekah Erler (Minneapolis)

Jerry Holt/Associated Press

Last year Erler, 36, wrote President Obama a letter outlining some of the struggles her family has had to deal with in recent years. The family relocated to Minneapolis from Seattle after the housing crash, because her husband was continuously struggling to find jobs as a construction worker.

When Obama traveled to Minnesota last year, the two had lunch and she told the president of how she took out student loans to attend community college and is now an accountant.

The Obama administration called Erler’s story one that is “representative of the experiences of millions of resilient Americans.”
