Another casualty of the Obama Economy: Editor fired over Obama headline
SNIP

A Chattanooga newspaper has fired an editor for a headline that told President Obama to take his jobs plan and "shove it."

The announcement from the paper:

"Free Press editor Drew Johnson has been terminated after placing a headline on an editorial outside of normal editing procedures.

"Johnson's headline, 'Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough,' appeared on the Free Press page Tuesday, the day President Barack Obama visited the city.

Nah, this was an editor throwing something in on the sly that wasn't approved by the publisher.

That editor lost his job, but wow! That's some serious guts!
