President Barack Obama meets Henrietta Hughes , who asked him to personally help with her housing situation, during a town hall meeting with an audience in Fort Myers, Florida, today.
"I have an urgent need, unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in," she said. "The housing authority has two years' waiting lists, and we need something more than the vehicle and the parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help."
President Obama asked for her name and told her, "We're gonna do everything we can to help you ... I'll have my staff talk to you after the town hall."
What a wonderful compassionate President we have. Unlike the Bush Presidency, President Obama is willing to listen to the ordinary citizen.
How brave of this woman to openly speak about her homeless situation directly to the President of the United States. Given the opportunity, I would have no problem speaking to the President about Health Care and the lack of it, not only for myself, but others as well.
Mr. President, I'm a 60 year old, two-time breast cancer suvivor with no health care. I pay out of pocket for all of my medical needs, please get your Univeral Healthcare progam together, for me and thousands of others like me.
Thank you!

It is somewhat ironic that Henrietta Hughes is homeless because of policies enacted by Obama.
Because congress passed an act that required banks to make housing loans to people who could not afford to repay the mortgage. On a interview posted on youtube, she said she had a $1000 mortgage. Can you imagine her bills with insurance, gas, electric, etc.? She was saddled with a big house she could not possibly afford because of Obama and his congress.
He is directly responsible for her situation but now he is her savior?
That is sicko.
