Yep totally agree there (but I'm not a leftist).All responsible homeowners should be raging mad at this proposal. All of us that bought houses we could afford should be angry. Why should those irresponsible home buyers get their home loan principal amounts reduced, and those that did not buy more house than they could afford get nothing?
I have a friend that bought a $500,000 dollar house on the same income as me. He is in foreclosure. Why should the government come in and bail him out? That is ludicrous. He should have bought a $250,000 house like I did. If he had, he would not be in foreclosure.
This is crazy, and, if the average American finds out about it, they will be MAD. Can I have my $500,000 house at a discount?
I would think that even the leftists would be against this crazy proposal.
Yep totally agree there (but I'm not a leftist).
A total outrage, I would be spitting with rage if I was still living there.
might as well post this - polls immediately before the VP debate..
Obama with a handy lead...
Incidentally, bookies' odds remained unchanged "through" the VP debate.
Maybe a tennis anology...
Like Wimbleton, looks like it was "one of those games played on the outer courts".
Obama 9/20 ($1.45)
McCain 11/4 ($3.75)

This is the ninth consecutive Gallup Poll Daily report showing Obama leading by a significant margin, tying Obama's record frontrunner streak of nine days around the time of the Democratic National Convention in late August and early September. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)
Today's result includes two full days of interviewing after the Oct. 2 vice presidential debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joe Biden, as well as after the news on Friday, Oct. 3, that Congress had passed a revised economic rescue plan to help alleviate the Wall Street financial crisis.
The race has been slightly closer on both of these two individual days (Oct. 3-4) than the previous two days. Obama held particularly large leads over McCain from Oct. 1-2, possibly resulting from Americans' focus on the Wall Street financial crisis and congressional rescue plan dominating the news at that time. Since then, support for Obama has remained about the same, at the 49% to 50% level, while support for McCain has increased slightly, with an associated decline in the percentage of undecided voters.
Monday's report will be the first based entirely on interviews conducted after the vice presidential faceoff and, as such, will be an important indicator of whether Palin's debate performance and, or any possible easing of public anxiety over the rescue package since Friday, may have benefited the Republican ticket. -- Lydia Saad
"Sen. McCain and his operatives are gambling that they can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance. They'd rather try to tear our campaign down than lift this country up.
That's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time."
# Did Obama immorally accept campaign contributions from Rezko for his senate campaign?In June 2005, the owners of the property wanted to sell both the house and the adjacent lot as a package deal, but the Obamas didn't want to buy the extra land.
Obama consulted Rezko, who had once lived in the same neighborhood.
In transactions that closed at the same meeting on the same day, Obama bought the house for $1.65 million—$300,000 less than the sellers had originally asked— Rezko's wife bought the lot next door for $625,000.
Several months later Rita Rezko sold the Obamas a strip of the vacant lot for $104,500.
Obama has said he negotiated a fair price for the house, got no help from Rezko in buying it and paid market value for the strip of land he later bought from the Rezkos.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/117851In a court filing, $10,000 of alleged finder's fee money was subsequently contributed to the campaign of an unnamed "political candidate" for whom Rezko was a fund-raiser.
There is no allegation that Obama knew the money was tainted. The senator's campaign says he has since donated to charity $160,000 worth of contributions he had collected over the years from Rezko and his associates.
Obama has shattered fundraising records, raising more than $450 million, with more than half the donations in increments of less than $200.
Bill Burton, Obama's spokesman, said the campaign has "gone above and beyond" disclosure requirements.
"We constantly review our donors for any issues," Burton said. "And while no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available to step to root-out improper contributions."
Some of the things these kids are saying are not bad, it is just the way they are going about it - the "Hitler Youth" type methods, are just wrong. This is not the way to go about trying to inspire kids.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternal_organizationThe only true distinction between a fraternity and any other form of social organization is the implication that the members freely associate as equals for a mutually beneficial purpose, rather than because of a religious, governmental, commercial, or familial bond, although there are fraternities dedicated to each of these topics.

I Agree (2 people agree)
Is it true that Obama when he was a Social Worker, hung out with a terrorist in Chicago before he went to Law School to become a Professor?
The Weathermen were pretty heavy type of people in the 60's and 70's.
I can't imagine he could have been so stupid.
Maybe he shouldn't be president after all.
At least McCain went to fight for his country.

gosh GG! You didn't read about Obama and Ayers in my post #1185 above did you ..
2020 said:Bookies' Odds now :-
Obama 2/7 ($1.29) ..... in from 9/20 ($1.45)
McCain 11/4 ($3.75) ......steady from 11/4 ($3.75)
Remembering that odds are instantaneous .... it would seem that the "Obama - links to terrorist" claims have so far fallen on deaf and/or doubting ears.
think I mentioned it in #1184 as well doris
yep - amazing that he's a respected professor these daysIn hindsight, 2020 - did you read my post #1185?
* Obama was a baby/child during Ayers' terrorist career
* In Obama's adulthood, he and Ayers were officially not close.
... not just the 'terrorist connection' falling on deaf or doubting ears.tsk tsk
Oh golly gosh GG!
You didn't read about Obama and Ayers in my post #1185 above did you -- you naughty boy!
* Obama was born in 1961... in Hawaii.
* Ayers studied education - not law
* Obama studied law but not a PhD in it...
* Obama was not a 'social worker' even though he was a social-worker.
btw... how long did McCain actually fight for his country before he bailed out?
Instant cred IMO.Is it true that Obama when he was a Social Worker, hung out with a terrorist in Chicago before he went to Law School to become a Professor?
The Weathermen were pretty heavy type of people in the 60's and 70's.

you still need thoses hyphens sometimes...... hyphens I believe are extinct on ASF from 2020's posts....
yep, hell he's a funny man"The US jealous of Zimbabwean economy" equalled gold.
Sorry Doris,
I don't read long posts, Dostoevsky ain't my style. Though I enjoy very much your shorter ones.

This sounds a bit like those people who lived near the guys who lived in the US to learn to fly those planes into the Twin Towers. People said they were weird but kept to themselves.I actually lived next door to a Weatherman many years ago in Atlanta Ga. We didn't know he was one until he was dragged away. He was bit weird though. I've never seen so many coppers in the one place in my life, then or since.
lol... He wasn't a social worker in the sense of working with individuals. One of my daughters started Uni to be one but decided she didn't want to be a 'band aid' and changed to a Community Welfare degree. She is a senior manager now (30 yo), but introduced networking in the state (Dept of Housing then Dept of Child Safety) so all govt and private related organizations liaise and refer clients to each other in these areas.So, Obama was a social worker then, hyphens I believe are extinct on ASF from 2020's posts.
Read his first biography (which paid off his college loan and his house) and you'll see how much hard work and life experience he had in being a community organizer. He went back to college to do Law as he felt he could make more of a difference with legal qualifications.Obama does seem a bit light on work experience and life experience if he ended up social working with a convicted Weatherman. Lets hope he doesn't get the chance to do the same with an American Presidential Cabinet

Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.”
