Could be because others will use this event to glorify 0bama.....and, with the details you provide, falsely so.
I mean, do you really trust Chris Matthews to tell the truth? Why would you be surprised at the skepticism? Take a look at the last election, take a look at the antics of Congress in just the last day.
You don't think people should be skeptical? ETA: Maybe I should say, "You don't think people are going to react with skepticism?"
The only people I've seen try to 'glorify' Obama over this are the bashers.
Sorry, I don't watch or listen to Chris Matthews.

You were probably amazed that people sat in disbelief over the initial swooning over the mother of the octuplets, too. Some of us know a press op when we see it. It takes others awhile.

Fred, you know the point I am trying to make.
Sure. "We need to bash Obama over this because someone MIGHT try to attribute this to him."
Or do you have some examples you can link to, of people giving Obama credit for this?

Thats because there are 2 kinds of Christians, Fred.
There are Christians who pratice love, empathy and forgiveness.
And their are Christians who pratice moral superiority complex, jealousy and hate. There are 2 camps and one is lukewarm.
God bless that women for being in the first camp.

My first hit was Huffington Post. Comments from that site:
There are more, but I think you get the idea.

Saul Alinsky, "Rules for Radicals".....
The truth is, NO ONE can live up to it. And for one person, who cannot live up to it, to expect another person to do what they themselves cannot do is called what?
May I have the link for those?
The first and third comment aren't crediting Obama with anything more than what he did (hug the woman and offer a platitude). If you think the middle comment is real, I don't know how to respond to that.

Thats the lady who had the tickets to get in and met the black Lady outside and brought her in, the talked to some officials inside who put them onstage near obama.
Fred a good example of a Christian from the second camp. They are anti abortion, too, anti-condom and anti-public aid. In fact they would have a "problem with someone with a bastard baby out. They would never think of fostering any of these children.
Again they do this not out of love but the need to have a higher moral authority, in otherwords they think they are better than most.
To me they are missing the entire point.

Live up to, I specifically and intentionally said pratice.
People can share common beliefs with entire diffrent set of motives.

That's the link. As to the middle comment, it is what it is, I guess. I have no way of knowing anything else.

Well, isn't practicing the evidence of living up to something?
Possibly OT. I'll say no more.
The article in your link only says:
No one appears to be giving him credit for anything more than that, and especially not for getting the woman a place to live.

BHO didn't do it. The Republican lady did it.
If someone unaffiliated with the government sees someone's plight by virtue of the MSM, and chooses to help, WTF IS THE PROBLEM PEOPLE?? So many here bitch and whine about how people should get help from non-government sources, and then when that happens, it's somehow an Obama conspiracy? Christ on a cracker! I loathe the ground on which His Holiness treads, but seriously, some of you folks need to switch to decaf or something....
So explain it to me in small words, like I'm from Alabama.
This doesnt make any sense.
How does a homeless person get to view or be in contact with the president anyway?
Security would have moved them to a containment area. Certainly not allowed them to the head of the audience.
real Homeless folks dont go to parades, and political rally's. They live on riverbanks and work the store parking lots begging.

Just watched the video...........amazed at the SOUTHERN accent Obama aquired as he flew south. Henrietta testimony sounds like she lives in a pickup truck camper with shared facilities. Nice dress, clean hair, and looks healthy.........

You know you cannot just “enter” an Obama town hall meeting. They give out tickets in advance. Who gets the tickets? People who stand in line and wait. Who tells people when and where Obama will appear next? Certainly not the Secret Service who has to protect this man. Not the MSM, who are too busy telling us how great he is without asking any critical questions.
Sooooo… how does a 61 year-old homeless woman who’s living in a pickup truck with her son JUST HAPPEN to get a ticket so she can VERY PUBLICALLY ask Prez. Obama for a HOUSE? Anyone? Who pushes her up on stage? She’s right at the front of the crowd. Did she just happen to get a seat there?
Now, within moments of this happening, it’s trumpeted all over the news. AND, surprise, surprise, the wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, Chene Thompson JUST HAPPENS to have a spare house worth $150,000 lying around, so she GIVES it to this unemployed, homeless, living-in-a-truck woman. They’ve been homeless for “more than a year”, which coincidentally, predates the current housing and banking crisis by quite a while. How did they learn about the “Obama Town Hall and Tent Revival”? Were homeless people simply rounded up? Did someone pre-canvas the area in search of “great, tear-jerking stories”? Of all the people in the audience, SHE’S one of the ones Obama chooses to ask a question?
BTW-the taxes which will be charged on this “free house” will bankrupt the poor woman. Taxes are levied based on the home’s assessed value, not on the basis of it being a “free gift”.
On a second, double-snort, the last guy who gets to ask a question JUST HAPPENS to be a 19-year-old kid of Hispanic descent who’s going to Edison State College (free tuition perhaps for in-state students?) and has worked at McDonalds for FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. By my math, he started working there when he was 14! Florida child-labor law infraction, anyone? Now, having worked at McDs several times in my past I can say that they DO offer health care plans. You have to PAY for it, just like everyone else in the country does. It’s OPTIONAL. It’s not a God-given right.
…Do the Thompsons get to claim this as a charitable tax deduction against their (probably) considerable 2009 income? How many houses do they own?
Is there anyone left in the media who will ask these questions? Ever?

Apparently NC Susan and Kozanne are getting ALL of the newsbreaks and slanted views from ONE source.... personally, I don't read that forum, and don't want to see it on 10 thread a day... read it, if you like, but don't shove it down everyone's throat day after day after nauseating day.

Preach it, brother.

+1000. First people here bitched that DC didn't know what was going on out on Main Street. Then when DC goes to main street they bitch about helping people.
The hatred and bitterness here is obscuring all sense of compassion and reason.
Fred your first post on this thread is right on!
Jeese people get a grip. And remember Obama didn't cause this mess...its been in the works for decades.
I just hope that when (and some of you will) get down and out or homeless that someone helps you and you remember how heartless you have been.
No one is immune from hard times.

Are you freaking serious? Do you even know what went down?
Obama did NOTHING! The wife of a Republican rep gave her the use of the house.
Obama did absolutely ZERO.
Too many folks never read past the headlines.
