    Who is Erling Davis?

    Was she the one responsible for sending a contract for hundreds of millions of tax dollars to a Canadian company, to create the Obamacare Website, which is now universally recognized as one of the worst boondoggles of ALL TIME, who also LIED about the Obama Adm.'s knowledge and prior LACK OF TESTING of the system?

    IOW, is she who SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED WEEKS AGO?

    Hell no, she's not. Erling Davis is the Obamacare customer service phone operator who told the SIMPLE TRUTH about the stunning failure of the Obamacare rollout, from her own perspective, during a call from Sean Hannity, which was subsequently heard by MILLIONS of Americans.

    She TOLD THE TRUTH...and HAS BEEN FIRED, by the Obama Adm., for whom the "Truth" has been a DIRTY WORD, from Day One.

    That's the Most Transparent Administration in History for ya, huh? :roll:


    Obamacare phone operator who talked to Sean Hannity loses her job




    An Obamacare phone operator who had a conversation with Fox News host Sean Hannity lost her job on Thursday.

    On Monday, the “Hannity” host called up the Affordable Care Act phone number provided by the federal government. Eventually, he was connected with Erling Davis, a phone operator working for a private contract company .

    Hannity quizzed Davis about technical issues facing the government healthcare website and engaged in some small talk during their 10-minute conversation.

    However, on Thursday Davis revealed that she was fired by her employer over the conversation. For his part, Hannity told listeners of his radio show that he will compensate Davis for a year’s salary tax free and try to help her find a new job. In total, Hannity reportedly gave Davis $26,000. He also posted information on his website where viewers could reach out with job offers and other assistance.

    “They fired me from my job,” Davis told Hannity while being interviewed on his radio program.

    A transcribed exchange between Davis and Hannity reads as follows:


    Davis: “So, the next day I came back and they had, like, two people escort me upstairs to HR. And then it was three head people and me, we sat down, and so I’m like, ‘Why am I up here?’ I figured, OK, they want to talk about the phone call incident.”

    Hannity: “I’m very sorry that you had to go through that. I don’t want you to have to pay a price just for taking our call. So I want to help you out here.”

    Davis: “I remember her saying, ‘We can’t have this type of stuff going on here, so we have to release you.' They said that no contact with the media. No type of media whatsoever. We’re not allowed to do that at that company.”

    Hannity: “It’s not your fault I called."


    The comments that got Davis fired were arguably entirely benign. During the Monday phone conversation, she told the conservative commentator:

    “Thanks for your interest in the health insurance marketplace. We are having a lot of visitors trying to use our website right now. This is causing some glitches for some people trying to create an account or log in. Keep trying and thanks for your patience. You might have better success during off-peak hours like later at night or early in the morning. We’ll continue working to improve the site so you can get covered.”

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Not being a member of the Ruling Class Leftelite, Erling should have known she would be SAVAGED by the Obamaminions, who FORBID anything remotely close to the Truth about their LIES and INCOMPETENCE, being given to the American People.

    Obamapologists must be brimming with PRIDE over the latest display of ASININE ARROGANCE from the Most Corrupt ,and Inept, Administration in History.

    Wow. Great nauseating attempt to cover for the Most Corrupt and Inept Administration in History's arrogant abuse of average Americans.

    She ANSWERED QUESTIONS, which is her JOB. Quite professionally, at that.

    Read the comments at the end of the OP-linked article,and "get a feel" of how your fellow contrymen feel about it.

    ONce again..why is Sebellius NOT FIRED?

    Obamacare is the ABLATROSS that will sink the Depseracrats...and they KNOW IT, NOW....

    Yes, that whole freedom of speech thing is such a bother when you are trying to create a socialist utopia.

    I would like to see a transcript of the conversation and if there is a policy about frontline employees talking to the media. I have worked for corporations except during my time in the military, everyone one of my employer has/had a policy with dealing with the media. Yes it sucks she lost her job, but she should referred Mr Hannity to whoever handles these issues with her company. Lastly if you think it is unfair she got fired, remember most states are at-will employment for companies. Only far lefties like me are against at-will, so welcome fellow travelers who are outraged by this. :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    So an employer/job creator should allow an employee to bad mouth the company while on the clock? Man that is some serious leftist going on.

    A transcrip is readily available.


    It wasn't MILITARY SECRETS; it was a HOTLINE SET UP TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT OBAMACARE.

    She gave honest, professional answers., to a citizen who called the hotine.


    There is NO EXCUSE for her firing.

    Meanwhile, Sebellius faces NO CONSEQUENCES for her INEPTITUDE and LIES about it.

    Typical Leftelitist Bullcrap.

    At-Will-Employment.

    The hallmark of conservative politics for labor. Don't like it turn your conservative creds in. Welcome Fellow Traveler.

    If the transcript is readily available you could have linked to one....

    Another desperate attempt to cover for the crass ARROGANCE of the Most Corrupt and Inept Administration in History.

    Not my job to do your research for you. Her call from Hannity is well -documented. I don't "go fetch" for the lazy.

    A private business owner would LOVE to have such a professional, courteous employee, to handle their phones.

    Please explain why SEBELLIUS is STILL EMPLOYED?

    In the companies I have worked for, talking to the media is NOT a firing offense, and likely wouldn't be supported under Canadian labor laws. The severity of the penalty is at odds with the fact she clearly stated she had no idea who was Hannity and had never heard of his show, and therefore was ignorant of the consequences. Her comments, available in this forum and across the net, were not "badmouthing" but stated the facts about her training and revealed a rather superficial approach, excuses actually, innocently stated, to "customer service". There was not one shred of harmful INTENT in her words.

    Companies are not the military and cannot and should not act in an abusive manner, modern laws require an employer to "reclaim" an employee. And while it may be a practice in the military to punish people for their opinions, it is against the law to do so in a free society...not socialism, but the concepts of the founding fathers and supported in whole by the Tea and Republican parties.


    With that, it is hard not to see this as punishment, an attempt to silence others who may think of going "off the record" and revealing just how bad is the Obamacare roll out.

    In History?

    Grok, please.....

    There had to be one administration that was more arrogant.....more...


    Never mind

    The libs dont care if the government lies to the people. They prefer it actually. They would prefer to have their failures quietly swept under the rug so they can focus on their next crusade. That is why they didn't reform Medicare before they went off half cocked after the rest of the health industry. If they had to deal with their current disasters they would have no time to create new ones.

    IOW, you don't want to see the transcript. Seriously, do you really think you are fooling anyone with this nonsense?

    I've ALREADY READ the TRANSCRIPT.


    You posted that " you would like to see it".


    What's stopping you?

    Are you claiming that :

    A). There is no transcript easily obtained?
    B.) There is something that reflects badly on Ms. Davis in said transcript?
    C.) You are not smart enough to use a web browser?

    Keep up the nonsense,and enjoy the inevitable smackdown, when it comes....

    Par for the course with this corrupt administration. Now, we find out that Michelle Obama's buddy's company got a no-bid contract of the failed Obamacare computer system.

    You shut your mouth. They have given money to the democrats they deserve a couple of hundred million kick back. Corruption will stimulate the economy. If only stupid republicans understood how good corruption is for the nation, or that our ruling class knows what is best for us.

    It goes on for awhile. Try getting to know the facts before jumping to conclusions.


    Does this cause a chilling effect on other government employees? How do we have a free press if the people who work in the programs cannot talk to the American people via a vehicle that will reach them?

    In my opinion, the liberals on the firing of this young lady are racists. They see an innocent black women of 26 get fired for doing her job, and they could give a flying (*)(*)(*)(*) that she has 2 young children to support and really needed that $26K annual salary, the loon left answer, "oh well". In other words that black (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) shouldn't have opened her (*)(*)(*)(*)ing mouth about the pathetic roll out of the 1/6 of the US economy debacle.

    Thankfully, Hannity stepped up to the plate and paid her annual salary, and found her another job. We conservatives take care of those that are harmed by the corrupt Obama administration. What is really sad is only half of America is concerned for the welfare of this young lady and her two children.

    George Zimmerman, this woman, our leftwingers have been on a roll of late in dropping shorts and defecating all over ethnic and racial minorities. It's almost as if -- gasp! -- they don't really mean the stuff they say about treating all people as equal. Heck, keeping that in mind there's also their disturbing, race and gender based, absolute spine tingling hatred of White males. Ah well . . . I guess that they are just haters when you get right down to it.

    It was a private contract company that fired her, and I think it's outrageous, too. I've always supported unions to empower employees, and if she had some kind of union protection, this would probably have never happened.

    What's your solution is protect employees from this kind of unwarranted action by employers?

    Sadly, we will have to wait until Obama and thugs leave office. You can be rest assured that since the federal government was the one buttering the private companies bread, it only took one phone call

    You don't have to wait for Obama to leave office to answer the question.
