VIDEO-- President Obama's Florida Town Hall Meeting: Homeless Henrietta Hughes

By GottaLaff


This touching moment was included in my earlier post. Now you can see the video. I hope homeless Henrietta Hughes doesn't have to hurt much longer. She currently lives in her car. President Obama promised his staff would talk to her after the meeting. That was after he stepped off the stage and entered the audience to give her a hug.

Via Oliver Willis:

In President Obama’s town hall about the economic crisis in Fort Myers, FL today, a woman named Henrietta Hughes - facing homelesness thanks to the crisis - gave voice to the economic concerns of real Americans being dismissed by the conservative echo chamber and the mainstream media.

Ms. Hughes asked the President: “We need something more than the vehicle and parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help.”

He should and knowing him, he will.
