A stagehand who was setting up the area at USC for the Obama rally today was fired off the job because he dared to wear a hat and sweatshop that celebrates the Navy aircraft carrier his son serves on - the George H.W. Bush:
Looking at this guy's reaction I don't believe he had any political motivation in mind when he wore those items, but was simply showing pride in his son's service and the vessel he on which he serves. I can't believe the Commander-in-Chief would have minded either.
James Wright, a business representative from IATSE Local 33, says the union is still investigating what happened.
"If he was sent home because of the sweatshirt, he will be paid for the day," he said.
***UPDATE: Duane Hammond says union officials called him this afternoon to apologize for the incident. He say they are "bending over backwards" to make it up to him.
It's amazing what a little national ridicule can do.
