Ms. Henrietta Holmes just crushed me.
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 01:03 PM by WilliamPitt
I hope you all are watching this Obama town hall meeting if you can. MSNBC has been carrying it wall-to-wall since the beginning. The WaPo and ABCNews.com is streaming it.

Wow.

1. Not everyone has cable.
A fact incomprehensible to too many on DU.

13. Good to know.
Which I didn't. Just as I didn't know there was a town hall meeting. Main posts with mere conversational snippets and no background or links are cliquish and infuriating.

And you know it.

5. live stream @ ABCNews.com
here's a quick snip on what happened:

12:57 p.m: Seventh question from a woman named Henrietta Hughes (not sure on spelling) who Obama approaches from the stage. She is living in a vehicle and has little assistance. “Please Help,” she said. Obama said his staff would talk to her afterward.

10. Me too Will.
I hope there's something his staff can do when they meet with her later.

That was heartbreaking.
