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.

There were some rumors floating around about AmVets and money not getting to where it belonged... I'll leave it at that.

I have nothing against AmVets, but I have to say her little speech when heard in full had more than a hint of a personal victimhood/entitlement mentality to it, and karma's a bitch.

She never should have called The Won out like she did. She painted a huge target on herself.

That bus hasn't run out of gas yet, apparently. Plenty of room for one more underneath.

In an interview with me two months ago, she said that although her personal finances were in pretty good shape, she was worried. She has two daughters in private school, and the oldest is looking at colleges. Although her husband is employed, she was concerned about higher consumer prices. She talked about her home value being down. She talked about feeling anxious.
"You don't have to be on the street to be struggling," Hart said in the earlier interview. There are different degrees of struggling." Hart said telling Obama that her family might be forced to dine regularly on hot dogs and beans was just an attempt at levity.

Hey guess what?! Welcome to the world of 0bamamonics. There are A LOT of people in the same boat. Millions of people. When time comes, vote the imposter out of office.

Hey, she's still got almost two years of unemployment to burn through, on top of whatever severance package she might have.  She'll still be living on UE when she's campaigning for Obama in 2012.
