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.

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?

She admitted there was no one to blame but herself, and perhaps the eviction will give way to a better life.

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?

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.

Wait!

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.

Job? Husband?

This is typically where the problem is. Any mention?

OK the article says she lost her job. But what about her husband. Is she a widow?

Obama's goal for all of us - and she could end up being our neighbor with his mindset.
