Just Because It Drives Them Crazy

By Baxter

We owe a big debt to our right-wing Internet friends who have been fulminating about this video clip from President Obama's town hall meeting in Fort Myers.

Of course, the wingnuts all think that this poor woman, Henrietta Hughes — who is clearly at the end of her rope from having to live in her car — "hasn't held a job in years." One commenter noted that Rush Limbaugh stated today that this event made him "embarrassed to be an American."

Hm. We cats will refrain from remarking on the hypocrisy of that statement. Because we're SO grateful that our angry conservative pals have pointed out something we hadn't noticed before.

It's the woman in white, leaping to her feet at Ms. Hughes' right and slightly behind her, who calls out "I love you, Barack."

Thanks, you lovable right-wing nutbags, you! The fact that it makes you gag makes us grin. Like Cheshire cats.

UPDATE: Our friends at Free Republic were very upset to learn that Ms. Hughes had been given (or lent, it's not yet clear) a house, so that she and her son could quit living in a pickup truck and taking showers at public parks. "Where's my free stuff?" one fumed late yesterday. Well, Freeps, you'd better eat your words. The donor of the house is the wife of Florida's Republican State Representative Nick Thompson.
