    When you set yourself up as savior and the one that offers to fix all things you get requests like that..Obama has only himself to blame for deceiving that poor woman.

    What I heard her say was that"new cars and parks are nice but we need a place to live." " A place with a kitchen and a bathroom." or something very close to that. I don't know what she expected but she was pitiful and obviously needing help. If I was him I would help her not because with her plea she shot down his entire stimulus package but because she needs help in a bad way. She's old and probably worked her whole life to end up destitute due to failed liberals socialist communist idiotic scamming low down stinking policies.

    This is very misleading, so I'll clear things up a bit, since I watched it as well.

    This old woman from Fort Myers, Henriette Hughes, was nearly in tears as she stood up for her question at the town hall meeting. She asked Obama to help her, because she needs her own bathroom and own kitchen. She's been homeless, living out of her car.

    Obama went off the stage down to her, embraced her, kissed her cheek, and said he would do everything they could to help her, and told her his staff would talk to her about her predicament after the town hall meeting. And he acknowledged there were a lot of people just like her.

    What he did was incredibly kind, and she was on the verge of tears & he got plenty of applause.

    There's a few videos at my source (the second one is a news station interviewing her after the townhall). Judge for yourself. As far as I can tell, some people can only bitterly assume they didn't help her at all, etc, etc, etc...
