Actually, the last thing we need is government buying these up. Let them auction them to the general public like everybody else.

his first 2 plus weeks have been a disaster...from Gitmo...wrong...to $400 million to " educate "...third world countries about abortion...wrong...to...the new healthcare bill...wrong...to this stinking....rotten spending bill...wrong...I think the change he ran on...and what hes given us...are two different things...and...MOST Americans are already seeing it...well...non Liberals anyway...

Pretty much the only ones who are keeping the "not an NBC" thing going are the same people who think top level officials in our government have been replaced by extra-terrestrials and they have been secretly working since 1943 to get Barrack Obama elected as President. But we need a good conspiracy theory every now and then to lighten things up.

No
He's the President...

Actually, he's YOUR president, not mine. I refuse to accept someone as being president who wasn't even born in the United States. Everyone knows he was born in Kenya, well at least everyone who isn't ignorant or refuses to believe all the proof that has been presented. One more thing you should know, Hitler gave great speeches too...

personal question - would you want your birth certificate released to the public? I for one would not.

If you had "deep Pockets" wouldn't you like to be buying oil at todays prices for resale when the price recovers? There is no market for the general public today.

Nonsense. If they are being auctioned off at "firesale" prices as you put it, someone would buy them. Someone always does.

Lets see...
Hes obeyed the law by reversing the illegal policies of the Bush Administration.
He's reached out a hand to third world countries to try and help them through education and diplomacy. Listening to the experts instead of taking the poster of the great decider.

And he's made the White House more open to the average American so they can see what he's doing and respond through a web-site designed just for this purpose.

He's done everything he has been able to accomplish to live up to his campaign promises despite the opposition from unamerican and spiteful members of the Republican Party.

Yep!
I say well done Mr. Obama...

twelve year old that play little league have to make their birth certificates available for scrutiny with signed and notorized affidavits of their authenticity

This statement just reinforces what Ive suspected for awhile now gio.

You are unamerican.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — A fired-up Barack Obama ditched his TelePrompter to rally House Democrats and rip Republican opponents of his recovery package Thursday night – at one point openly mocking the GOP for failing to follow through on promises of bipartisanship.

In what was the most pointedly partisan speech of his young presidency, Obama rejected Republican arguments that massive spending in the $819 billion stimulus bill that passed the House should be replaced by a new round of massive tax cuts.

“I welcome this debate, but we are not going to get relief by turning back to the same policies that for the last eight years doubled the national debt and threw our economy into a tailspin,” said President Obama – sounding more like Candidate Obama than at any time since he took the oath of office less than a month ago.

Obama, speaking to about 200 House Democrats at their annual retreat at the Kingsmill Resort and Spa, dismissed Republican attacks against the massive spending in the stimulus.

"What do you think a stimulus is?" Obama asked incredulously. "It’s spending — that's the whole point! Seriously.”

Stabbing hard at Republicans who once aligned themselves with his predecessor, Obama made it clear that the problems he seeks to address with his recovery plan weren’t ones of his making.

“When you start hearing arguments, on the cable chatter, just understand a couple of things,” he said. “No. 1, when they say, ‘Well, why are we spending $800 billion [when] we’ve got this huge deficit?’ – first of all, I found this deficit when I showed up, No. 1.

“I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office.”

After his remarks, Obama, clearly caught up in the moment, made the party get-together feel even more like a campaign rally with his signature call-and-response chant.

“Fired up?” he asked the Democratic lawmakers. “Ready to go!” a group of them shouted back.

In his speech, Obama went on to contrast the kind words of House and Senate Republican leaders with their increasingly strident opposition to the stimulus package.


“We were complimented by Republicans saying, ‘This is a balanced package . . . we’re pleasantly surprised,’” he said. “Suddenly, what was a ‘balanced package’ is suddenly out of balance.”



As the Senate deliberated in Washington – and packed it in for the night without finalizing a deal — Obama brushed pressed House Democrats to finalize the bill "without delay" when it emerged from the upper chamber.

"Let's think big right now," the president urged House Democrats. "Let's not think small."

Obama’s words bore only a vague resemblance to the prepared remarks the White House distributed to reporters as he began to speak. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Obama appeared to ditch his TelePrompter about a third of the way through the speech.

“He went to his heart, I think he spoke from his heart,” Clyburn said. “He went back to being the Barack Obama that Americans fell in love with when they went to the polls.”

Despite the hero's welcome Obama got in Williamsburg, there remain some skeptics of the plan within his own party. But if there was any tension between Obama and the House Democrats, it was hard to see it in the room. Before Obama spoke, House Democrats and their spouses posed for cell phone photos with the president – and even with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

His chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, gobbling berries and cream in white shirtsleeves, rushed out of the hall at one point, barking into his cell phone along the way as he wove between tables packed with his former House colleagues.

When Obama finally spoke, he called Pelosi “a rock” and “the great speaker of the House.” And he said that House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey and other House chairmen had acted with “discipline” in passing their version of the stimulus bill.

And while Obama said Americans are looking for the parties to work together on the stimulus, he said that it’s time to move past “the false theories of the past,” including the notion that tax cuts could cure all ills. In the process, he reminded the Democrats in the room – and the Republicans back in Washington – that he won the election in November.

“If you’re headed for a cliff, you’ve got to change direction,” Obama said. “That’s what the American people called for in November, and that’s what we intend to deliver.”

But Democrats have their work cut out for them if they are going to approve the package without any GOP votes. As Obama circled the room and posed for photos before he spoke, a person in the room spotted Phil Schiliro, the president’s top legislative liaison, huddled in a tense conversation with Obey, the principal author of the House — a reminder that the bill still has a ways to go.

Investors are buying up foreclosures. The market is just too flooded right now. The general public is just trying to stay in their homes.
It gonna take "deeper pockets" than investors to clear the system. Those "deeper pockets" being the amount of money the government can spend.

Let's see. The government injected capital into the banks and that didn't work. Let's see. The government has issured some of the losses and that didn't work.

At least the government would have something to show for the money spent. That being a house on a piece of property. Mortgages could be adjusted to keep people in their homes.
And payments comes with interest.

My child doesn't have to do that.

So your suggestion is to get the government into the mortgage business? That's surprising, given their complete incompetence in everything to date, even by your own admission.

He's done everything he has been able to accomplish to live up to his campaign promises despite the opposition from unamerican and spiteful members of the Republican Party.
