However, a local organization is coming forward saying Hughes isn't being honest about how much help she's had in the past.

The director of We Care Outreach Ministry, Tanya Johnson, says just last month she offered Henrietta Hughes permanent housing and a place to stay free for three months, but Hughes refused.

"We would have allowed her to stay for the first 90 days, no income. You know free," said Tanya Johnson.

We Care Outreach Ministry is a faith based organization in Fort Myers.

Johnson says she also gave Henrietta and her son Corey, money, food and offered Corey job training courses, but it was refused.

"We have extended a lot of her services to her," Johnson said.

But Henrietta Hughes says these services weren't free and the apartment in East Fort Myers came with a price tag.

Hughes says Tanya Johnson wanted $400 a month immediately.

The disability check Hughes gets is a little more than $800 a month.

Hughes owes money on a loan, has her car insurance payment, a monthly storage bill and says she couldn't afford the rent.

Obama seems to attract a good number of those "milk the system" types. Sad.

Like Bush and the banking industry; the energy industry and those browning out California, like Enron.

Let's not forget Halliburton, and its subsidiaries.

Yeah, screw those citizens; let's give it all to the fat-cat corporations.

I agree with you 100%. You won't get any arguement about Bush from me.

Obama though, was suppose to bring a little thing called "CHANGE".

At least these "fat-cat" corporations employee people and give them jobs. Something I'm sure Henrietta Hughes doesn't have a clue about!

He's been in office for 3 weeks.
Tell me how you performed at any job you've had in 3 weeks.
I change jobs every few years with my employer. My jobs are similar and I've been doing this for over 25 years. I've never got my job wired in 3 weeks. It takes 6 months to learn the nuances.
It takes 3 weeks to learn where the bathroom and kitchen are.

Obama's learning and getting his feet wet, but he's out there trying.
That's another big difference from Bush.

But therein lies the rub, doesn't it? Poor people don't create jobs.

One doesn't learn honesty.....you either have it when you enter office or you don't.

Selecting nominee after nominee who are all tax cheats means either you are dishonest OR too lazy to check them out OR trying to slip things by the American public.

If you're smart enough to run and win the potus, you are smart enough to know these things on DAY ONE!!!!!!!!! This isn't somthing you learn.

Face it, Obama is unprepared and not fit to lead the US. Hillary brought this up many times in the campaign....that she was ready to lead on day one and Obama wasn't. Guess her words are ringing true now!!!!!!
