That's the sweet part. He put in a word for her with some housing committee in the area, and a senator who was there let her use his house in the area that he wasn't living in until she could get back on her feet.

I was trying to picture Bush in the same sitution and I could only see him say security take this person away and check her shoes. For Obama's visit to Canada in the next few days the RCMP and Ottawa police are on high alert but they don't expect to be any protest. Damn Bush makes a visit and we have to spead weeks cleaning up after the mass protest.
