Homeless Woman at Obama's Town Hall

At Obama's town hall meeting in Ft. Myers, FL today a woman named Henrietta Hughes, said she was unemployed and homeless, and living with her family in a very small vehicle. "The Housing Authority has two years waiting list. We need something more than a vehicle and parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom."

Obama said that he would have his staff get with her after the meeting.

I pray this woman finds a home and I'm sure she will but I do wonder if the media will background check her like they did Joe the Plumber?

***UPDATE***

Henrietta Hughes was offered a home by Chene Thompson the wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, who heard Ms. Hughes's pleas for help to President Obama.
