Sad thing, the same dishonesty seems to be true about Obama.

Back to this supposedly "poor" lady, the media is on her and all kinds of things are coming out. Milking the system....lies.....she appears to be a piece of work. A TYPICAL Obama supporter.
So what is a typical Bush/Cheney or McCain/Palin supporter?

I agree but that does not excuse this liar. She needs to take her lazy ass to work.

Maybe her entire generation are welfare people, we don't know her family history. if her mother was a welfare recipient, and her mother's mother was, maybe she figures she is entitled to receive welfare too. This is not ALWAYS the case, but there are folks who have been on welfare forever, and their families have too. it's a difficult cycle to break. but, some people call it one thing or another, I call it milking the system, maybe I'm wrong. somebody tell me why I'm wrong in thinking this.

First, she was labeled a "plant" and now that her background reveals that through the years she has received some forms of public assistance at times she is being labeled as scum. Anything to discredit and vilify the homeless.

Her background may show that she and hasn't managed money well ,when she had some, but I haven't read anything that merits the hostility toward her that I see here.

By the way, the Thomson family who offered her a place to live have stated that they are sad to see Henrietta have to defend herself. They do not regret helping her and will continue to do so in the future. "While she may not have needed assistance in 2005, she needs help today."

Wait a minute... aren't we giving Obama too much credit here?
I thought all he did was give her a hug.

Some nice republican lady gave her a house to stay in.

I think letting just about anyone speak is different. At least I've read that Bush's gatherings were scripted (no link, thougH).

As for Harvard, I have a master's from Harvard just like Obama does. Maybe I can be president too!
A law degree is a bit different from a general master's degree.
Why do you insist on minimizing other's accomplishments?
Apparently he did more with his degree than you did: he is the president of the USA.
What are you, some office or lab worker?

Bush, Cheney, Palin, Rush, Hannity, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, AM talk radio, Halliburton, Palin, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Neocons, right wing, reich wing, Repubs, Rethugs, lather, rinse, repeat.

That's all we need to know until 2016.

Next.

Obama is just another politician and nothing more. He is not the great messiah that the liberals think he is.

As you are well awre, it's only the rethugs that ever called him that.
Oh, the irony.

Bush purposely did in the US.

The way you break that is like this- you want welfare, OK we will give it to you. We will give you welfare, food, child care, a bus pass, decent housing and even clothing you and your kids. No problem. But the most important things we will give you are a rake and a bag. And you will show up at ________ everyday with your rake and your bag and you will rake and bag 4 days each week. The 5th day you may use to actually look for a real job.
