Are we talking about the same senseless war that our current president is supporting?

Rick, You know why. aYou sound ridiculous by blaming the President for a situation that he walked into. To even imply that there is a quick fix or anyone out there who has all the answers is simply stupid. You guys supported a President that help to pass legislation that promoted the bank practices that have backfired on the people and left those in power richer than ever. You guys supported a President who promoted a senseless war that has bankrupt this Country. Get over that fact that your President looks different than the masses. That is the only issue that you can truly have with the man. Question the whole system from now on!

“The foreclosure picture in metro Atlanta improved significantly in October.”

Where is the reporting that backs up this hypothesis? We’re down 22% from a month that had 5 weeks of notices… in a month that has 4 weeks of notices. Um, going from 5 weeks to 4 weeks is about 20%.

So how is this significant? Can we have a little more explanation? Can I get a referral? A second opinion? I want my five minutes back. Come on!

There is a wave of foreclosures coming that nobody can stop, gonna make the subprime mess look small. Values will continue to drop well into 2011, then stay flat till 2015. Then maybe a 1-2% increase in value. Back to the old fashion 20% down, no FHA. If you cant put skin in the game, you dont deserve a home. Owning isnt a right, its a Fu@king perivlege. Stopping foreclosure only keeps this mess from bottoming out, prolonging this mess. Let free market rule, it willcorrect its self.

@ Curious
Your statement/question:
Why is it that he has more love and support outside the United States than he does right here at home???

You haven’t figured it out yet have you? You will and one day you won’t be so racist yourownself.

Rick: I didn’t vote for Obama because of the color of his skin, or anything like that. I voted for Obama because George Bush ran our country straight into the ground.

How do I think Obama has been doing as President? He still favors the rich. There has been no real help for the average citizen from the Obama administration.

@ curious,

Well i’m sure there are plenty of people who like/support the man because of the color of his skin, so do you consider them racist as well?

We were given the bum’s rush by former Treasury Sec. Paulson, who shoveled a lot of our tax money to the rich bankers and Wall Streeters. When Obama came in, it was basically business as usual. He didn’t clean up the TARP mess, he just put on an act.

Now, what did the average taxpayer get? Well, they talked for about a week about letting our Bankruptcy judges reform mortgages so that the loan did not exceed the value of the home. This would have truly helped consumers to pay a fair amount back on their mortgages. It went nowhere. This gives you some idea of how the average citizen is treated as compared to the rich.

I haven’t been in my condo that was supposed to go into foreclosure for over 7 months now and the bank still has not foreclosed on it. So don’t believe what you read, the banks are just dragging their feet.
