Color me skeptical:
We all know David Axelrod, Puppet President Black Obama’s ventriloquist, knows how to plant Astroturf to create the illusion of grassroots support where there is none, as well as he knows how to cover it with bullshit to make it appear to grow. Could he have had a hand in the “Obie Does Oprah Queen for a Day Goes to Florida” heart tugging, tear jerking, shmaltz-a-thon we saw earlier this week?
Does a bear shit anywhere it wants to?
On Tuesday, February 10, the Obamessiah took his “Greatest Hits of the Stimulus Package” show on the road to Fort Myers, Florida, after a brief stop in Elkhart, Indiana the day before, where he pledged to get those good folks back to work building gas-guzzling recreational vehicles nobody can afford just as soon as those sticklers for fiscal responsibility on both sides of the aisle in Washington get tired enough of having their arms twisted and get used to the wool over their eyes enough to help him bamboozle the Republic in peace, or at least be quiet about it. In Florida, the Spokesmodel in Chief tried out his Monty Monte game show host chops, encouraging people to “come on down” and share their pain for a shot at the big wheel. Going “boy, girl, boy, girl” through the handpicked crowd of pre-screened contestants (bypassing the too obviously delusional love-struck looneys, one of whom was unfortunately caught on camera during the scripted, pain-sharing portion) Obamboozle finally alighted upon a “young lady” who’d been patiently trying to get his attention like, for-ev-er, almost as long as the hyped up enthusiastic meth-head McDonald’s worker “boy” chosen after her. The time, 12:57 Eastern.
In a stroke of happenstance too coincidental to be a coincidence, approximately 45 minutes later, Henrietta Hughes Had a Website, soon to be two, on her way to a total of five.* Not long thereafter Henrietta Had a Home.
It seems Henrietta has had other homes, in fact, there are those who say she still has a home in her 37 year old unemployed son Corey’s name. Due to a thyroid condition (Corey) and bouts with breast cancer, (Henrietta) the college educated mother and son have been unable to work, or afford $400 a month housing, being instead forced to live in their pick-up truck without a backseat, that no one has as yet seen and photographed.
Could this all be true? Sure, this is America, at a time when we face huge economic pitfalls as a nation that threaten to put us all in a communal poorhouse unless a strong leader with a steady hand takes the reins and leads us confidently and competently to financial security.
We’re doomed! Head for the hills! Run for your lives! Help! Help! Help!
(slapping self with cold water)
However, given what we know about the sneaky, underhanded way Axelrod and his ASK Public Strategies is paid to operate, the complete lack of scruples exhibited repeatedly by Team Obama, and the by now predictable modus operandi of the meticulously produced and stage-managed Obamadini Traveling Light and Magic Show, Henrietta Hughes is most likely a potted Astroturf plant.
And, for those who say, “poor woman, she has problems, how can you doubt her story?” I say, shut up, wake up, and stop being a KoolAid drinking, self-blindfolded, delusionazoid. Henrietta Hughes and her son could very well be just as bad off as they claim to be, or they could be system-gaming petty crooks, and still be tools of the Obamachine. You can exploit the truth just as easily as you can exploit a lie. The point is not, is her story true, the question is, how’d she just happen to find a way to the front of the line to tell it?
Where was her son?
Where was the truck?
Where’d she get the dress, and where’d she shower, do her hair and makeup and put it on?
It’s really nice that the spirit of bipartisan, post-racial American charity is so strong that a white Republican woman can give a home to black, presumably Democratic woman who couldn’t vote because her car doesn’t have an address, even though her son does, just because that black woman had the pluck and grit to stand in line for a chance to ask the President of the United States for help.
It’s nice, but I ain’t buyin’ it.
*The link in the Canada Free Press article to Henrietta Hughes.org links to Hemrietta Hughes.com, even if you type it into the address line yourself. Which could mean that there are only a total of four Henrietta Hughes websites, but it would still be curious. Also, the CFP piece does not list the other 3 sites by name, but does provide owner info at the end.
[...] to dust off the Lovable Candidate suit, pack up the Traveling TelePrompTer and and hit the road giving away houses door to door like Oprah doing Ed McMahon. When it looked like even that might not work, he [...]
Does anyone really believe that Henrietta wasn’t a plant? Just as all those fainting kool-aid drinkers were planted in the Obamamessiahs Rally’s during the campaign. Henrietta looked awfully well put together for a woman who claimed to be rooming with her adult son in a car! She’ll get help through some of that $4 billion Obama and friends earmarked in the “stimulus” joke he’s signing in Denver today.
Cinie: I’m glad you thought enough of me to tell the truth. I can be a pain in the ass and you can tell me that, too.
No sweat, Puma-SF, it’s just that I’ve edited long re-printed posts (with permission) from others, but, since you’ve been here a lot, I wasn’t really sure what to do, to tell you the truth. Long reader opinion posts are always welcome, though. As are you, you know.
Myiq, healthy skepticism is probably self-defense when it comes to Obiteme.
msm22, I have lived in a car before, so when she said that and Obuhbuh kissed her, all I could think was, “doesn’t she stink?”
Pat, please visit and share your thoughts as often as the spirit moves you.
Sorry, I have been preocupied.
Cinie, love the way you write. You have a permanent place in my Bookmarks!
Puma-SF, that article is linked twice in my post.
This is interesting:
On the same day that President Barack Obama kissed “small vehicle” resident Henrietta Hughes on the cheek, two WordPress blogs called henriettahughes.com and henriettahughes.org were launched.
“Don’t worry! The mainstream media will be all over this scam just like they were with Joe the Plumber. I’m waiting…” wrote rightsideofwisconsin.com in a story called “Henrietta Hughes was a plant by the Obama Oligarchy”.
Billed as “The Face & Forum of the Economic Crisis”, http://www.henriettahughes.org was purchased on Feb. 10, 2009–the same day President Obama held his town hall meeting in Ft. Myers, Florida. Internic.ca shows the registrant as Judah Fontz, 2215 sw 20th Ave., Cape Coral, Fla. 33991.
The time-stamp indicates the site was created at 18:42:26 UTC, which would make it 1342:26 EST, or 1:42 p.m. on Feb. 10.
“Henrietta Hughes has brought attention to the homeless and unemployment problem in the United States. We now want you to have the opportunity to share your story of how this crisis has affected you. We are facing unprecedented times and want to provide a forum for people to be heard. Please email your comments to stories@HenriettaHughes.com and we may post your story on this website for the world to see!” says http://www.henriettahughes.com.
Ms. Hughes found the president’s ear during the town hall gathering where Obama pushed his Stimulus Package.
“I have an urgent need, unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in,” a tearful Hughes told Obama. “The housing authority has two years’ waiting lists, and we need something more than the vehicle and the parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help.”
The story beginning and end is straight out of biblical scripture accounts of Christ feeding fish to the hungry masses.
There was even a happy ending. Obama’s promise to help Hughes was provided by Chene Thompson, the wife of Republican Florida Rep. Nick Thompson, who allegedly gave Hughes a house to stay in, at Ft. Denaud, happily only half an hour away by car from Ft. Myers.
“Small vehicle” status has been Hughes’ state for “a long time”, having been forced upon her when her adult son lost his job in computer programming, and they in turn lost their house. Hughes says she has been looking for a job, although she is on disability for cancer, but so far has been unable to find work.
Hughes cannot be accused by GOP of voting for Obama as she did not have a permanent address on Nov. 4, 2008, but said that without a vote, she had prayed that Obama would win. “I said, `Lord please have mercy on Mr. Obama’ and the Lord did so.’”
Meanwhile although the government seems intent on killing it, entrepreneurship is alive and well in the U.SA. with a total of five websites, registered by three different entities jumping on to the Henrietta Hughes bandwagon.
In addition to Fontz, the other websites are registered to BE Ads, of Ft. Myers, and J. Frankel, a venture group out of Brooklyn, New York, email address of which is sales.margucci@gmail.com.
who knows, Henrietta is the best looking homeless woman I’ve ever seen…..
I’m suspicious of anything and everything connected to Obama.
