"I'm Exhausted Defending You"


Earlier this week, President Obama held a town-hall meeting in Washington, DC.

Ms. Velma Hart (pictured) had this to say to the President as the first questioner, "I’m a mother. I’m a wife. I’m an American veteran and I’m one of your middle-class Americans. And quite frankly I’m exhausted. I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for. I’ve been told that I voted for a man who was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class and I’m waiting sir, I’m waiting.’’

Press reports also share that Ms. Hart is the Chief Financial Officer for AMVETS.

I have not read any reports of anyone calling Ms. Hart a racist.
