. . .need to step up. If she gets help its going to have to come from those folks first, however have the POTUS talk to those folks might help;)

1. Agree, I believe he will call the Mayor to see if there is any assistance availabe

threw the State, like section 8 or subsidize housing. But I truly feel a lot of REAL, TRUE American's are going to come to her assistants, because that's what we do:-) we help those in need.

2. I remember Bill Clinton doing a forum with young children at the White House

Peter Jennings was the moderator. A little girl in a wheelchair asked the President if he could help her twin sister who had the same genetic disease that she did. Pres. Clinton said as Pres. there's nothing he could do but he would find out what organizations could help. Less than a week after that program her sister had gotten the help she needed.

3. Someone local already has offered to help

over in LBN there is a story that a state representative's wife has offered Ms. Hughes the use of a house she owns that is empty.
