>>> i'm one of your middle class americans , and quite frankly i'm exhausted. i'm exhausted defending you and your administration and the mantle of change i voted for and deeply disappointed where we are right now.
>> that was a frustrated obama supporter velma hart two years ago famously calling out the president at that town hall meeting about the economy at washington, d.c. velma joins live from washington. velma , thank you so much for your time.
>> it's my pleasure to be here. thank you for having me.
>> like millions of others you're planning to watch this debate tonight. are you still a president obama supporter?
>> absolutely. there's no question.
>> what are you looking for tonight? where is your mind? are you still frustrated or disappointed? where do you stand right now?
>> i don't think there's an adjective for them. one of the concerns i have is the first debate. i think for a lot of reasons it didn't go as well to for our president like it needed to. i look for a strong showing tonight by our president to address specific key issues important to people like myself in this country. i believe he will come through for us as well.
>> you were laid off and were fortunate enough to get aa new job. when you made the comment to the president, you were frustrated with defending his record, defending what you wanted as a mantle of change. would you ask that same question two years later as we enter very close to this general election ?
>> you know, it's a great question, because we're at a critical pivot point. one of the things that i've talked about and i've talked to a number of people about is i really wish we could take down the cr the creshendo of this. one is very supportive of women, middle class americans . he has a priority it help those who are in need, who is trying to rebuild the country and the other has a different agenda. from my standpoint the choices are very, very clear. i don't think i'd ask him that question now. there might be a different discussion.
>> when you asked that question september 2010 , the unemployment was 9.6%. it is now 7.8%. you expressed concern to the president that you and your family were going to go, quote, to the hot dog and beans era that you were worried about putting food on the table. many americans are asked this in polls every day. do you believe as a result of the president's policy that this country is going in the right direction now?
>> i feel like it is. i feel some positive momentum but it's very slow. if you asked anyone in the white house the response would be the same. things take time. i'm reminded of president clinton 's comments regarding the last four years. no other president, present day or even his own administration, could have donne any better than what this president has done. i believe that's true. that's unprecedented. i'm a proud supporter and will continue to support him regardless of the nay-sayers who blo believe people like me don't have a voice.
>> you have a voice. it was heard loud and clear. thank you, ma'am. up next, our gut check. t, dad,
