Dreams of Obama's Father: Hot Dogs and Beans for Velma Hart

Velma Hart, hardworking middle-class American veteran, hitched her hopes to Obama's "change" wagon and was rewarded with the persistently sinking feeling that her outgrown "hot dogs and beans" era was again on the horizon. Now Velma's "new reality" under Obama includes unemployment: she lost her job as CFO of the veterans service organization, AMVETS.

From Fox News:

Am Vets executive director Jim King told The Washington Post that the nonprofit was looking for ways to survive financially.

"It's not anything she did," King told the Post Monday. "She got bit by the same snake that has bit a lot of people. It was a move to cut our bottom line."

Velma was considerably more patient with Obama's policies than most veterans, I suspect. Just a few weeks after taking office, Obama demanded that combat-injured veterans pay for their own medical care, even including prosthetic limbs to replace legs and arms lost in combat. When veterans' groups protested, Obama challenged them to come up with another way to pay the medical expenses of combat injured veterans. Because, apparently, even when you shed blood and suffer permanent disability for your country, you still haven't done enough "to spread the wealth around."
