Velma Hart just lost her job. Don't know who that is? Maybe you should read this post.

Velma Hart — a wife and the mother of two, a veteran, and an African-American Obama supporter — had this to say to Mr. Obama, last September 22:

Quite frankly, I’m exhausted – I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for, and deeply disappointed with where we are right now. I have been told that I voted for a man who said was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class. I’m one of those people and I’m waiting, sir. I’m waiting. I don’t feel it yet. And I thought while it wouldn’t be in great measure, I’d feel it in some small measure. I have two children in private school and the financial recession has taken an enormous toll on my family. My husband and I have joked for years that we thought we were well beyond the hot dogs and beans era of our lives, but, quite frankly, it’s starting to knock on our door and ring true that that might be where we’re headed again, and, quite frankly, Mr. President, I need you to answer this honestly. Is this my new reality?

Editor's notes: this well spoken woman, an Obama supporter, lost her job two days ago. With that reality in mind, we suggest that the reader go back and read Velma's words [above] again.
