Woman Tired of Defending Obama gets Fired: Retaliation?

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that the thin-skinned Obama people putting pressure on AmVets (the company that employed Velma Hart) to fire her for daring to question the the Anointed One.

Sadly, it may be, at least for a little while, as Velma Hart has been laid off by AmVets.

"It's not anything she did," Jim King, the national executive director of AmVets, told the Washington Post's Michelle Singletary. "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."

Um, why would you fire the CFO and not some people lower on the totem pole if it was just a bottom-line move? You figure they would be in line for millions in extra money since veterans affairs is probably one of the few departments that won't be cut going forward. Maybe someone in the White House said AmVets wouldn't be getting any of that money if they keep Hart on the payroll. That is wild speculation but this is the same White House that obsessively watches Fox News and follows Sarah Palin like they are her groupies or something.

I have no idea about the finances of AmVets but you figure they would want to lay-off people that would be easier to replace. Most of the time, replacing a CFO is a big deal and retraining a new person and getting them up to speed would cost even more. So when they eventually replace her position when things get better, it might cost almost as much as they would have saved by not keeping her on the payroll. Also a CFO is a pretty important job so they probably couldn't function too long without one.

What was interesting is this strange rebuttal of Hart today that seems to have been about a month too late. It might have been written a while back but the tag-line according to Yahoo says 2 hours and 21 minutes ago.

While it is expected to hear the type of dual-faced language coming from the opposition, it is quite awkward to hear it coming from those who voted for change and was told all during the campaign that this economy would not be fixed over night.

Ms. Hart's language is described as dual-faced (not quite sure why) in this article.  I just find the timing curious that Ms. Hart lost her job and here is this Ronnie Mann character kicking her on the way out the door. Could Ms. Hart been put on an enemies list by the White House? I guess we won't find out until the "so-called" Obama Tapes are released by some disgruntled staffer. In the meantime Velma Hart is yet another victim of the Obamaconomy.
