Henrietta Hughes was offered a home by Chene Thompson, wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, who heard the homeless woman’s pleas for help to President Obama before a local and national crowd.
The house is in LaBelle, the first home [Chene] Thompson bought after law school. She told Hughes, “Just give me the opportunity to help you.”
Hughes broke down in front of thousands when she told the president that she and her son have been homeless for more than a year. They are living in a pickup truck.

He better pay her taxes and utilities, too. She ain’t gonna!
I need a shed..... of money
Still waiting for my Pie.
Will she be exempt from gift taxes? Failing to pay them might qualify her for a job in the Obama administration.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.

Could be expensive for him... If he’s giving it to her outright, he’ll have to pay a 45% gift tax on the value of the house, minus the exemption.

“Pie’s neva freeeee!”
A bit more serious answer. I saw nothing that said she was going to become a resposnible citizen and be able to pay her way. No action plan to get off her butt to do anything for herself.
I think we all should make a list and send the darn thing to Obama.
All she needs is a Florence and she will be all set. Where the heck is Mr. Bentley
heh. I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe it is time to send a reminder to the IRS about that.
I got it. We all should write letters demanding from the O admin that we want the same Henrietta gotz.
Ah need a cah and gas and stuff, so I ken stay home in mah kitchin and cook mah fud stamps fud.
He sounded like Joseph Gribble (John Redcorn’s son) off of King of the Hill. Syllable for stupid syllable. The only problem is Joseph Gribble is in Middle School, while this clown is at some Community College and has been making peoples food for 4 years. Im afraid to go to McDonalds now...they might accidently put Strychnine in the guacamole.
Hussein Hears a Hughes
My wife and I bought a house three years ago, and haven’t missed a payment. We work our asses off literally every day. Where’s our “free” stuff? Of course, we don’t want “free” stuff, we get along just fine on our own.
Reading about garbage like this makes me physically ill. I no longer feel up to “paying my fair share”.
