The woman whose story of economic recovery was showcased by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address is a former Democratic campaign staffer and has been used by Obama for political events in the past.

Rebekah Erler has been presented by the White House as a woman who was discovered by the president after she wrote to him last March about her economic hardships. She was showcased in the speech as proof that middle class Americans are coming forward to say that Obama’s policies are working.

Unmentioned in the White House bio of Erler is that she is a former Democratic campaign operative, working as a field organizer for Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.).

Another lie by the Liar in Chief. It’s hardly a news story at this point. No one should believe anything he says, but fortunately for Democrats, they have an uncommonly stupid voter base.

I nver watch SOTU’s because both parties are equally adept at bringing to the spotlight phony examples of people who have benefitted from the president’s great policies. I believe none of them anymore.

There is no doubt that the people affiliated with Obama have all done very well.

The spoils system very rewarding.

Well, can’t blame him... they couldn’t find a single real person who thinks life is getting better under Obama’s presidency.

I couldn’t help noticing that the story included a husband who was apparently not invited. Wonder what happened to Ben?

Can’t find a real recovery example, therefore you must make one.

No husband present? Well, that’s because of the niggardly Republicans who cut the budget so much that Obama couldn’t pay off the husband to perpetrate the fraud, too.

Why are we not surprised this Fraud-In-Chief pulled a stunt like that? And do you think the MSM will cover that fact?

Maybe he's just a blackguard whose behavior can go beyond the pale when he doesn't feel at homey.

Here is what the piece says about her husband:

If that was his only criminal charge, you could chock it up to a bad decision. Unfortunately, Mr. Erler would be tagged with DUIs again in 1999 and 2004. In 2005, Erler was even charged with driving on a canceled license, which was suspended due to his dangerous driving record.

Sounds more like a driver for one of the Kennedy's
