Maybe your life of privilege has insulated you from this reality, but most homeless people who don't live in cars or on park benches.
Moreover, the increase in that metric was 85% since 2006-2007, when the recession began. (Reminder: Bush was President from 2001 until January 20, 2009)
See Table 2 and compare the figures (679.724)

and compare with Table 2 from the 2012-2013 (1,258,182)

1,258,182-679,724=578,458
578,458/679,724=.85, or . . . 85%
Also note that the number of "unsheltered" students (i.e. living in cars and on the streets--the ones you're pretending to care so much about) actually decreased by 20% over that same period (from 54,422 in 2006-2007 to 41,635 in 2012-2013).
But, of course, you don't want to get into that, because homeless children aren't your real agenda item. You don't write about them except as a means to launch dishonest attacks on Obama in order to blame him for conditions created by Bush. And when he does make things better, you falsely accuse him of making them worse.
And this doesn't even get into your complete failure to demonstrate that any single child anywhere was homeless (under any definition) due to Obama policies. You just lazily cite one figure from a report that doesn't address Obama policies at all, and also falsely and dishonestly pass off increases that happened under Bush (2006-2009) as being Obama's fault and due to Obama policies.
You CHOOSE to blame Obama for the fallout from BUSH's failed economic policies and his destruction of the housing sector in the US. What causes you to do that?
Remember the BUSH recession? Or were you asleep before 2009?

So, please stop lying. I would ask you to stop hating, but let's be real.
