If You're Homeless You Get a Kiss
This will trip you out. Henrietta Hughes told President Obama yesterday at a town hall meeting in Florida that she is homeless and in dire straights (been living in a pickup truck w/ her son for many months).
President Obama says he’ll take care of her, gives her a hug, and as an added bonus a kiss too.
This new administration is smacking of socialism and the guise of anything but is falling fast. The assessment by Erik E. on Michelle Malkin’s site of yesterday’s meeting is great:
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?
Brilliant. Let’s just spend ourselves into oblivian. Never mind that the non-partisan Government Budget Office and about every coherant economist known knows that the simple math goes something like this: if you don’t have money you don’t spend money.
Even I know that and I’m no economist.
More ridiculousness here
