I must play WoW. And Empire Total War. And… Anyway, Obama, bail me out, I need those games.

She has owned a condo at 6001 Arlington #721, Falls Church, VA since 1999.

She purchased 3438 Charles Street, Falls Church, VA on 1/05/05 for $510,000 and sold it on 6/10/08 for $429,000.

Her current home – 1920 N. Dinwiddie Street, Arlington, Va -was purchased with her husband (Luis Guillermo Flores) on 11/16/06 for $800,000.

Looks like they just got greedy. Are these the poor people that we’re supposed to help????

I’ll be looking for Obama to bail me out soon on my $380K house that I put 20% down on and never missed a payment for 8 years, let alone been late.

The government doesn’t exist to remove risk from speculative investments, and to the extent that they do so, they only ensure that more speculation rather than less takes place in the future.

…say it again…louder!

…the government has, as its historical mandate, the mission of providing for the common defense and promoting the general welfare…we’ve reversed the wording here…the government, particularly with the Democrats in the ascendent, seem willing to promote the common defense — so long as fashionably radical national enemies aren’t inconvenienced — and are all in a rush to provide, provide, provide when folks like this bus driver “grab at the American dream”…which today seems to be a dream like those dreams I used to have as a younger man, with me slow dancing with Pia Zadora…only involving real estate….

…but, under socialism, the mandate du jour, everybody should get everything they want, right? That’s socialism, isn’t it? Or…is socialism rather that everybody gets what the leadership — in Lenin’s case, the vanguard of the proletariat — thinks we deserve.

…hmmmmm….

It’s so sad that so many people think of kids as a way to supplement their income. Instead of growing up with dreams and ambitions, they learn the easy way out. Society loses out by getting, instead of a new generation of productive and talented individuals, a generation of deadbeats waiting for a government handout. It’s our own fault for creating more and more entitlement programs instead of incentives for success.

“I wanna draw”, he said. “You mean you want to be an artist?” “Naw,” he said, “I wanna draw, like my Mom. She draws welfare and she draws SSI, and some other stuff. That’s what I wanna do.”

It’s an artform! My sister is a teacher in the Alabama school system and administers the IQ testing. She tells stories every year about Moms coming into her office cussing at her because their kid didn’t score below 70. These sorry excuses for parents want the kids to be labled stupid so they can get paid the “crazychecks”. It used to be about $400 per month per child. If they put half as much brain power into fending for themselves as they do into trying to steal from me (through taking my tax dollars) they’d be doing just fine. We sat down one day and ran some numbers, adding up welfare, food stamps, heating subsidies, crazy checks, etc. This was at least ten years ago and the amount was close to $30,000 per year. It would almost have to be higher now… why am I working???

When hearing all of this from “adults”, I can imagine what they have taught their children.

A true story. My wife and I had dinner Sunday night with a school teacher who told us about one of her Jr. High students. She asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up. “I wanna draw”, he said. “You mean you want to be an artist?” “Naw,” he said, “I wanna draw, like my Mom. She draws welfare and she draws SSI, and some other stuff. That’s what I wanna do.”

I figure we have four years to get this boat started turning around, or we’re going over the falls. It may take us another 20 or 30 years before we go over completely, but I really think time is running before it becomes inevitable. Then I look at who the skipper is, and — oh well.

O’Donnell: Well it doesn’t sound clear that the republican party knows exactly what to do quite frankly since there’s this disagreement between the government on what to do. I want to read from the Politico, which has an interesting story today which says: Republicans are hatching a political comeback by dusting off a strategic playbook written nearly two decades ago.

While the Democratic Party playbook goes back to, what, 1932? Is there no one in that party capable of any fresh thought?

You are welcomed to help the lady with her eight hundred thousand dollar mortgage.

So when do I get my 401k loses back? What about when I go to Vegas and blow a grand? I don’t see a Sob story piece showing up on 60 Minutes. Boo Who.

You must first drink the kool-aide, then have audio/video evidence of publicly saying “concensus” 100 times without giggling.

Then, and only then, you will get your check.

Thanks Forrest

When I got my mortgage I called 3 different lenders and asked questions. I looked things up on the thing Al Gore invented to get other answers. To claim ignorance is just a dumb excuse.

This lady rolled the dice and got burned. Even if the lender stopped the foreclosure it doesn’t sound like she can make the payments anyway.

Guess I just too cold blooded.

No…it’s not “homeless.” The proper term is “renter.”
