Another BHO supporter, frustrated with the direction of the country, gained national attention this summer at a townhall meeting.

She was just laid off.

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.

We posted it here this summer.  I wonder if BHO can count on her vote in 2012? All that Hopey, Changey Stuff, is going so well..

Odamna...  Changing the minds of his supporters one at a time...

...And the thinking members of American society are practicing a loud chorus of, "I Told You So."

I REMEMBER!

Obama promised us that at this time with his stimulus package unemployment would be down to 7% by now.

AND  he said that if we didn't pass his stimulus package unemployment would be around 8%.


So our distinguished representatives passed his stimulus bill and guess where unemployement is now?   NEARLY 10%!

The 10% figure is the one published, it is actually much higher before the spin Dr's start "adjusting" it.

Of course it is.  Their numbers don't count those who have outlived their unemployment eligibility.  Some sources put it closer to 15 or 16%.

The clue is that no matter what they say about employment figures the percentage has stayed around 9.5 for about 6 months or more.
