You remember Henrietta Hughes, don't you? The woman who tearfully begged for Barack Obama's assistance in Florida because she is homeless, out of work and living in her car? Well, it seems someone has stepped forward and given her a place to live, which I appreciate.
What don't I appreciate? I don't appreciate the our nation's mainstream media has done NOTHING to look into Henrietta Hughes' story--you know, the way they did Joe the Plumber's. Remember Joe? What did we find out about him in like, a milisecond, after he confronted Saint Barack? We found out he wasn't a real plumber, we found out he owed back taxes, etc., etc.
Where is the digging into Henrietta Hughes' (and son, with whom she lives in her car/now in a new home). Where has she been? Where has she worked? How did she find her way into the situation she is in now? What choices has she made? How much help has she already gotten? How much help has she turned down?
Will we ever get this information? Probably not. Doesn't fit the narrative.

She hasn't been used as a prop ad nauseum by a candidate. Seems to be a major distinction...
I figured once the wife of that state senator offered her a house (and happened to be a Republican) the media would lose interest in her. Can't have a Republican look generous, it doesn't fit the media storyline of the GOP as hateful, warmonging obstructionists.
And anonymous, the press (and Ohio state officials) were tearing into Joe the Plumber within 24 hours of his first mention at that debate. So your claim is weak.

Some good reading
And read some of the threads from the link doustoro provided. no msm coverage but some industrious bloggers appear to have uncovered some evidence that this woman is a scam artist. I thought I saw her on the street corner holding a sign that said, "will work for house" the day before Obama's visit.
