1. Levittown is how this got started
I know most of you weren't born then but back in the 50's they built Levittown, I think NJ, for the military coming back from WWII.

2. Thank you for posting this
No one should be homeless in this great land of ours, let alone our veterans.

Let me make a comment here about Obama. I will admit I know little about him. But what little I have heard, well, it is refreshing to hear a leader that sounds like a human being. Unlike just about every other candidate I have heard, both republican and democrat, this man sounds as if he is speaking from his heart.

Is he the real deal? Well, I will reserve judgment for now. But this clip you just posted tells me he is looking at the things that desperately need attention.

... I think America will get well aquainted in the coming months. He has spirit to motivate, but also the thoughtfulness to find solutions. It's important to realise as much as media try to paint Barack as being a divisive candidate it couldn't be further from the truth. As the reality is he is of mixed race, so there is no better candidate to my mind of healing America's divide and lead to that more perfect union. Video link...
