People are discussing the older woman at the President's Florida town hall who spoke of living in her vehicle. CNN reports the Ft. Myers woman, Henrietta Hughes, has received offers of support after publicly disclosing her plight. A website, HenriettaHughes.com -- has been established to coordinate efforts to help her and her son, who reportedly lost his job and their home.
Some Republican pundits and bloggers are accusing her of being a plant, which is funny considering their own use of 'Joe the Plumber.' The really scary thing is there are still people in this country who don't understand the growing problem of homelessness in America. They don't understand that many middle-class Americans are one payday away from living in their car.
They just don't get it.
