Is this too good to be true and IS there no one left in the media to question it?

Update: Henrietta Hughes gets a house


By Michelle Malkin • February 10, 2009 04:31 PM Ask at an Obama revival meeting and ye shall receive:





Henrietta Hughes was offered a home by Chene Thompson, wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, who heard the homeless woman’s pleas for help to President Obama before a local and national crowd.








The house is in LaBelle, the first home [Chene] Thompson bought after law school. She told Hughes, “Just give me the opportunity to help you.


”





Hughes broke down in front of thousands when she told the president that she and her son have been homeless for more than a year. They are living in a pickup truck.








Obama hugged her after she asked her question and said his staff would help. A staffer later gave her a card to the head of the housing authority and she was told he would help her.








Reader Erik E. has questions. Careful, Erik. You are committing sacrilege. Dissent is unpatriotic. And cruel.








You know you cannot just “enter” an Obama town hall meeting. They give out tickets in advance. Who gets the tickets? People who stand in line and wait. Who tells people when and where Obama will appear next? Certainly not the Secret Service who has to protect this man. Not the MSM, who are too busy telling us how great he is without asking any critical questions.








Sooooo… how does a 61 year-old homeless woman who’s living in a pickup truck with her son JUST HAPPEN to get a ticket so she can VERY PUBLICALLY ask Prez. Obama for a HOUSE? Anyone? Who pushes her up on stage? She’s right at the front of the crowd.


Did she just happen to get a seat there?





Now, within moments of this happening, it’s trumpeted all over the news. AND, surprise, surprise, the wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, Chene Thompson JUST HAPPENS to have a spare house worth $150,000 lying around, so she GIVES it to this unemployed, homeless, living-in-a-truck woman. They’ve been homeless for “more than a year”, which coincidentally, predates the current housing and banking crisis by quite a while.


How did they learn about the “Obama Town Hall and Tent Revival”? Were homeless people simply rounded up? Did someone pre-canvas the area in search of “great, tear-jerking stories”? Of all the people in the audience, SHE’S one of the ones Obama chooses to ask a question?





BTW-the taxes which will be charged on this “free house” will bankrupt the poor woman. Taxes are levied based on the home’s assessed value, not on the basis of it being a “free gift”.








On a second, double-snort, the last guy who gets to ask a question JUST HAPPENS to be a 19-year-old kid of Hispanic descent who’s going to Edison State College (free tuition perhaps for in-state students?) and has worked at McDonalds for FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. By my math, he started working there when he was 14! Florida child-labor law infraction, anyone? Now, having worked at McDs several times in my past I can say that they DO offer health care plans. You have to PAY for it, just like everyone else in the country does. It’s OPTIONAL. It’s not a God-given right.








…Do the Thompsons get to claim this as a charitable tax deduction against their (probably) considerable 2009 income? How many houses do they own?





Is there anyone left in the media who will ask these questions?Is this too good to be true and IS there no one left in the media to question it?
Yes this stinks of a set up big time. Obama is now proving that not only is he a accomplished liar but he is also a fake ';miracle worker';. Just like some phoney televangelist who '; heals people'; who are set up beforehand just like Henrietta. Ah yes Obama the messiah only he happens to be a phoney messiah.Is this too good to be true and IS there no one left in the media to question it?
This makes me sick. I have a house from my mother's death. I was not ready for this and do not have the money. I have blood clots in both legs and $4,000 in the bank. But I can do this ... by myself. How is begging for money cool? That was SO staged. Have some pride.
If you must have wealth in your society, then you better have charity. Because wealth is produced from gleaning the masses.





That's that.
She is a plant..........Obama should change his theme song to Niel Diamonds.........Brother love traveling show.
Look out Drew Carey, you have been replaced by Obama. And if you didn't already know, our liberties will be spayed and neutered.
Fox is the only one, but Obama would never pick a non lib reporter in press op.
The lovely Michelle Malkin is always on her toes and my guess would be that the homeless woman was a shill.!!
I think Henrietta would be better off if she was given a J O B. How is she supposed to pay for the upkeep of a home without a J O B. They could have given her a job and payed the first few months on an apartment for her. Just goes to show you this new attitude of entitlement Americans have. They want the American dream but don't want to work for it.
wheres my house?!





oh i must not get one because i actually go out and work everyday.





damn.





oh well morally my way is better. i work my *** off for everything i own.
You make several great points. I was so disgusted by the whole display, I`ve tried not to think about it. Good observations!











On a side note: After watching the worst Daytona 500 ever, I hope you did decide to sell those tickets! I would have rather watched paint fade!
Great points. Can this man do any wrong? I think he's the second coming of Jesus. I wonder if at his next public appearance he will turn water into wine and heal the disabled? I'm not saying I don't feel bad for the woman, but to use her as a PR tool is just disgusting.
It is supposed to be true. I believe in helping the homeless but this is ridiculous. sounds like a scam. I read that President Obama actually only handed her a card from like the housing authority. I remember during election, some lady stating from her own lips that she was voting for O'bama because she needed her bills paid. I remember thinking you need to get a job and pay your own bills. What is our country coming to?
