There's plenty of room right next to this guy, who is probably living there because your government taxed him into homelessness to pay for your Fat Fannie Freeloader pad.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Marsha Swopes survived Hurricane Katrina and came to live in a free house from Fanny Mae. For two years she's called Antioch home, until Sheriff's Deputies showed up to evict her.
Tuesday was moving day for Swopes, her two daughters and two grandchildren, but they had nowhere to go.
"I'm just tired of moving. I want a place of my own that I can afford. I don't want to move anymore," said Swopes.
For the last two years Swopes has lived in a home on Fanny Mae's dime. The company launched a relief program to help evacuees get back on their feet.

Bush’s fault.
So she says that she’s got a place to stay but she’s homeless? What does homeless mean nowdays? You ain’t got a free house from the gubmint?
HOw do you live free on Fannie’s dime (our dime), and can’t afford that??????????
Where’s Barney Frank when you need him.
How long ago was Katrina? Long enough to get some of that free training/education and a job?
2 years of free rent and she still wasn’t able to get a better handle of her life? Plus the church helped her pack. What else does she want?
maybe Barney will take her in...what about the kids and grandkids helping out?
What is the difference between the Katrina victims and the flood victims in the midwest? The folks in the midwest did not sit around waiting for the government to build them a new, free house.
squatter
What am I supposed to do? Feel sorry for her?
Forget that. What makes her better qualified to have everything given to her when I have to work my tail off just to buy food? NO ONE has ever given me a free home to live in. Not since I was about 8 years old anyway. My wife and four children have never been given a thing from any bureaucrat except a hard time. Why? Because we are white.
Don't get me started on this one. Things are going to get a lot worse and if she can't survive when everything is being given to her she will really be screwed with the proverbial dung starts hitting the fan. She'd better find some kin to move in with or pray to baraq O bamah to have mercy on her.
JMHO
Anyone want to wager on who she voted for in the last election?
You know, in the good ol’days Darwinism would have eliminated this problem automatically.
There may be a time limit to living “free,” or other factors effecting the cost of living (utilities, food, etc.). Maybe she could try cupid.com and get a date with Van Jones.
Just how long, how many generations, have these Swedes been kept as pets of Society?
..since Johnson's great society...60 billion dollars ago
Obama's goal for all of us - and she could end up being our neighbor with his mindset.
You have three generations living off our tax dollars for two years for FREE and the best that she hopes for is section 8 housing??
Prediction: She moves to the projects with her worthless kids who will raise their own worthless kids to breed more worthless kids.
Katrina was the best thing to happen to a lot of these parasites - free handouts for all. How many more of these stories are out there?
Living on Fannie Mae’s dime? That’s OUR dime!
I have ny doubts: the story said that she had 2 daughters, but didn't say if the grandchildren were boys.
Is there an APB out for 3 missing dads?
Excellent idea...let O'Reilly & Beck give the Obama Administration a 1,2 punch. I bet that would get the Dim's P.O.'d for sure! :-)
SORRY ABOUT THAT, FOLKS....I have no idea how I did that. Please forgive me.
What is the basis for your assumption that there are "3" missing dads? Could just as easily be 1. Think about it. If the article had stated that the grandchildren were fathered by their father would you have been shocked? No. Sickened yes, disgusted yes, shocked no.
Please note, there is a HUGE difference between Katrina survivors in N.O. and Mississippi. Most don’t even realize the brunt of Katina’s force hit Mississippi and NOT N.O. Alabama got socked harder than N.O.!
The problem with N.O. is, and always has been, corruption. That’s why the levy’s failed, and that’s the ONLY reason they were so badly effected by Katrina.
WTF? Why would you imply that I would not be shocked to learn that the father was a sicko, pedophile freak? Ever hear of Occam's Razor? Well tie that into some sarcasm and you'll get my post.
There's plenty of room right next to this guy, who is probably living there because your government taxed him into homelessness to pay for your Fat Fannie Freeloader pad.
Amen! It’s really hard to feel sorry for this person.
Ithought 0bama was going to pay for everyones home, car, gas, clothes and food.
What happened to hope?????
My bad for not being clearer. I was referring to the June 2008 Midwest floods that hit Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
Yep....the whining is beginning to get on my last nerve.

Katrina Report Blames Levees
Army Corps Of Engineers: 'We've Had A Catastrophic Failure'
By Jennifer Hoar (CBS/AP)
A contrite U.S. Army Corps of Engineers took responsibility Thursday for the flooding of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina and said the levees failed because they were built in a disjointed fashion using outdated data.
"This is the first time that the Corps has had to stand up and say, `We've had a catastrophic failure,"' Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, the Corps chief, said as the agency issued a 6,000-page-plus report on the disaster on Day 1 of the new hurricane season.
The Corps said it will use the lessons it has learned to build better flood defenses.
"Words alone will not restore trust in the Corps," Strock said, adding that the Corps is committed "to fulfilling our important responsibilities."
The $19.7 million report includes details on the engineering and design failures that allowed the storm surge to overwhelm New Orleans' levees and floodwalls Aug. 29. Many of the findings and details on floodwall design, storm modeling and soil types have been released in pieces in recent months as the Corps sought to show it was being open about what went wrong. But the final report goes into greater depth.
The Corps, Strock said, has undergone a period of intense introspection and is "deeply saddened and enormously troubled by the suffering of so many."
Katrina damaged 169 miles of the 350-mile hurricane system that protects New Orleans and was blamed for more than 1,570 deaths in Louisiana alone.
Robert Bea, a University of California at Berkeley engineer and Corps critic, called Strock's comments and the report signs of "a leadership in growth."
