Velma Hart- Woman who told Obama her financial fears has been fired

----

Nobody is safe.

Velma Hart, who burst onto the media scene after telling President Obama she was scared about her financial future, has been laid off. Hart was let go as the chief financial officer for Am Vets, a nonprofit Maryland-based veteran services organization.

"It's not anything she did," said Jim King, the national executive director of Am Vets. "She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line. Most not-for-profits are seeing their money pinched."

"I hadn't thought about this in connection to the town hall meeting. She was at the town hall as a private citizen. Whatever she had to say were her own thoughts," he said.

Hart's comments to Obama became political fodder as proof that the president was losing his die-hard supporters - African American voters. Hart told me at the time that she still supported Obama but that she had expected more changes by now. She said what really disappointed her is that the change and better economic conditions Obama promised haven't come fast enough.

Yea right, you didn't connect this to the town hall.

Bummer for her.

the empathy of new "democrats"

Where is the empathy for them?

:shrug:

I guess she'll find out how it is to become "exhausted" looking for a job.

Administration that led to this woman being fired.

Shame on you all!!
