It's just par for the course that the Obama administration lets people get away with criminal acts when those acts benefit it, and comes down hard on trivial things when those things don't benefit it. Like framing the youtube video for Benghazi and sending its maker to jail for a year.

Would it not be expected that an employee at a private sector call center would be terminated under identical circumstances?
I doubt it. I've worked in call centers before. Now there's no question that she said inappropriate things given her position, but you'd get hauled into the manager's office and given a lecture. You wouldn't get fired.

It seems to me Hannity should have been cogniscant of that and not felt the need to play "gotcha" with this person. Shades of James O'keefe
Hannity had no control over what her responses were. She's the one who chose to make the comments she did. All he did was ask her questions. And it wasn't shades of O'Keefe because Hannity played the entire phone call. He didn't edit it the way O'Keefe did. He also offered to help her if she suffered any repercussions for what she said, and when she did get fired he made good on that offer.

Yep, she got fired!

Hannity has accepted that he pay her yearly salary, that she would have received had she not been fired.

So she got held accountable for talking to a radio host, yet not one person has been held accountable with the Healthcare .gov website. Not one.

Again, what is so great about government again? Unless you are in the government then you know you can fail and fail and fail and still keep your job.

It is like she should have known which "team" she was working for. You know the secret wink and handshake club.

She was hired to lie. But she chose the truth.

As they say: "The truth shall set you free".

This episode should get "some" attention to the small percentage of Obama Kool-Aid drinking people of how actually crooked this administration is imo.

Ol' Sean really stepped up for this gal. Fronting ber a years salary and belping ber find another job as well. It doesn't surprize me they fired her. You DON'T tell the truth if it makes Obama look bad. Not if the government is signinv your checks anyway. But hey, Hannity is stepping up here. Regardless of what you might think of him, he's showing some real compassion and empathy. He could have just let her twist in the wind, which some MSNBC personality would probably have done in the same situation. The story never wiuld have even made air., and she would have been on the street, blackballed, for her impertinence in daring to say negative things about Dearest Leaders signature program.

I gotta give Sean accolades here. What he's doing is massive cool and shows character.

I don't think by the sound of it, she knew her full job description. To lie.
