   I live in Fort Myers, Florida, it is bad here I will be honest with you, I have been out of work since August, greatful that today, I got a call for a new job. But…BUT! I WILL NEVER EVER EVER beg the president of the United States to buy me a house. I APOLOGIZE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD ON BEHALF OF THE ABHORANT BEHAVIOR OF THOSE HERE IN FORT MYERS. I was watching the local broadcast of the “event” and the Mayor of Fort Myers was on telling the newsbabe that he wants to “Change the image” that Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres are the new slums… Thanks to Henrietta she just downed his dream.

   For HOW LONG did White House handlers know about this woman living in a pickup truck?

   Did she know IN ADVANCE that she’d be getting a house ALMOST INSTANTLY after asking Obama? I think so… she’s virtually on the point of tears when she meets Obama to ask her “question”.

   Who else did the “handlers” line up? Who are they lining up next? Who decides which “tear-jerking stories” get presented at the next Obammessiah Tent Revival?

    As for the “free house,” it may be that the good Missus Thompson didn’t “give” the house to Missus Hughes. It’s possible that the house is owned by a trust or corporation that the good Representative Thompson and his wife set up and that they are allowing her and her son (How old does he have to be?) the use of the house. If that’s the case, I predict the use of the house might well end once the spotlight burns out.

    As the Chicago crowd would say, “This was a set-up job, y’know?”

    Let’s all look ahead five years when the gift house is trashed and overrun by drug dealers. No one respects anything they didn’t have to work for themselves. This won’t be any different.

    I have a house, and I’ve been paying on it as I’m supposed to. Every payment on time. I’m not a first time home buyer so the $15K tax break doesn’t fit. I pay my bills so I’m not in danger of foreclosure. So I won’t get any of the freebies and/or benefits of being irresponsible.

    But I really could use a larger house. And we could use a second vehicle (the tax credit they’re offering for a new vehicle won’t help me if I can’t make the payments, now will it?) I have a bum leg and back and walked a mile to school to pick up my Little Guy and walked a mile back home.

    Everything they seem to be offering isn’t something that will help me…

    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.

    Probably paid for with a sweetheart loan from Countrywide.

    …or purchased just prior to the market tanking with the intention of flipping it and making a nice profit.

    Now, with the market in the tank, they can unload it for more than what they could likely get on the free market if they can finagle it as a charitable gift.

    Speaking of which, how does this woman then pay the tax?

    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?

    What hours does the Florida Child Labor Law allow minors to work?

    No person under the age of 13 years or younger can be employed in any gainful occupation at any time.

    Minors age 14-15 years of age:

    *

    Are restricted from working between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. on nights prior to a school day
    *

    Cannot work more than 15 hours in any one week while school is in session
    *

    May not work more than 3 hours or work during school hours, unless as part of a career education program or there is no session of school the following day
    *

    Have schedule restriction, during summer or holiday breaks from school, that includes working between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., for more than 8 hours in one day, or for more than 40 hours in one week

    “But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy … our opponent is against producing it.” -Sarah Palin’s Acceptance Speech, Republican National Convention, Sept 2008

    Prophetic words… In just three weeks, Pres. Obama has, with the help of Congress:
    1. increased taxes on smokers
    2. withdrawn oil drilling leases in Utah
    3. moved to reinstate the ban on off-shore drilling
    4. expanded government dramatically with the hidden “Trojans” in the “Stimulus Bill”
    5. Ordered Guantanamo Bay closed
    6. issued a supplicating letter to Iran and Islam et. al.
    7. promised Nationalized Health Care to a hispanic kid in Florida
    8. acted against his Constitutional Oath by nominating a sitting Senator for a Cabinet position
    9. acted against his Constitutional oath again by ordering the Director of Census to report directly to the White House Chief of Staff
    10. and when Geithner’s TARP II comes out late this week or next, he’ll have expanded Federal deficit-spending by 30% in just his first MONTH in office!

    With TARP II and the Stimulus Bill, he’ll have spent nearly TRIPLE the entire cost of all the hurricanes which have made landfall in the US from 1900-2005! In just one month!

    As a Constitutional law specialist, he knows that the one major flaw in it is that “We, the People” have no means of recalling a President. In essence, the States are bound to a political suicide pact if the person in charge chooses to radically redirect the Federal Gov’t with the aid of Congress and the Judicial branch.

    Okay, so now it’s out that she’s allowed to live in the house, rent-free, for as long as she likes or needs. She doesn’t have to pay a dime. She’s not really “getting a free house”, just a roof where she can live, a kitchen where she can cook, and a bedroom (actually a 3 bed/2 bath house on a decent plot of land) where she can sleep.

    Does she have a job? How many in her family? Does her son work? Are they disabled? Are they collecting Welfare checks? Really… let’s not ask any questions the liberals didn’t ask about Joe the Plumber.

    Honestly, it would be cheaper to rent the house to a paying client, and use a portion of the proceeds to rent this poor woman an apartment near a town where she might possibly be able to find work.

    How did she lose her old house? Where did it go? Where has she been living this past year (parks, towns etc).

    I’ve already seen one major media outlet list her homelessness as “caused by this current economic crisis”… this IN SPITE of being told (obviously by the White House) that she’s been homeless for more than a year. Heck, she even says that herself! Granted, it doesn’t take much intelligence to be a journalist, but fer cryin’ out loud, at least get the facts straight!

    Hokey as it is, doesn’t Henrietta’s outcome prove that these matters are best left to local communities rather than the federal government?

    Whadda ya mean. It’s the Federal Government that gave her a house to live in.

    Wonder if she will file a tax return showing the value of the “gift” as income? BTW, where’s the job she asked for?

    Yes, it has to be a set up. The worst thing the O could do is call national attention to her and then find out she was lying so someone verified some facts on her and planted her (and dressed her with a nice scarf). And yes, there has to be fudging of facts to make it all Bush’s fault.

    Are you suggesting that when state employees give to charity, they are actually giving on behalf of the state?

    Anybody remember Queen for a day?
    It was a 50′s TV show where the contestants were women down on their luck. They’d tell sad stories and the audience would applaud, with the “Applause Meter” registering higher depending on how dire a story the woman had. Then when the winner was announced, they’d play Pomp and Circumstance and give her a robe, a crown, and a washing machine and some cash.

    Right after that I would have stood up and said:

    “President Obama, I have $200 in my pocket right now that I will GIVE to Ms. Hughes on a few conditions. First, I expect everyone else in this room to reach into their pockets and give what they can in order to help this poor woman and that includes you, Mr. President, and you Mr. Governor. Because, the Declaration of Independence starts with the words “We, The People..” and that means the people of this country help one another voluntarily.”

    “Folks may say that we can’t help Ms. Hughes, but I say Yes, we can. All of us in this room can give voluntarily from our hearts to help this woman, rather than have the Federal Government forcibly TAKE the money from us, waste about 45% of it in overhead costs, mismanagement and theft, and then end up building Ms Hughes a kitchen that doesn’t work and giving her a toilet that doesn’t flush.”

    “Second, I would like you, Mr. President to study up on Davy Crockett, who was once in a similar situation and realized that the money is not his to give. It is not yours to give Mr. President. It is mine to give. It is mine to decide who shall receive, it is mine to watch carefully over.”

    “Third, I rescind my statement that I would only give to Ms. Hughes based on the two prior conditions, because my actions and charity should not be based on the actions and thoughts of others. It should not be based on the Federal and state governments taking 40% of my income to give to people to lie, cheat, and steal. I will gladly give this money to Ms. Hughes, of my own free will, because I have compassion and every year I have given more money to charity than Vice President Joe Biden has given to all charities in a ten year period.”

    “We can do it. ‘We, the people’. Not ‘You, the Government’. It is up to individuals to help one another and stop looking to the government to pick up the slack on the rope we have laid down. Pick up the rope with me, pull your own weight, and if you see someone that can’t pull their own weight, bend down, pick up their rope and help them pull as well.”

    “Here you go Ms. Hughes, and I’m sure that President Obama, a man who makes more than anyone else in the room will happily match it dollar for dollar with money from his own personal accounts.”

    Somebody should have told this woman in advance that Der Fuhrer does not help his own brother who lives in a mud hut or his “favorite” aunt who was living in the projects ILLEGALLY. Why the hell would she think that he would do SQUAT for her?

    And why should she get a free house? What about all the other people out there that are homeless? What about all the other people out of work? Was this woman only given a house because she is black? (racism) Elderly? (ageism) I call foul and discrimination. Anyone who is a lawyer who would like to take my case, i can give the details and we can get started immediately.
