Regarding your obama foreclosure post. I am directly invested in real estate. Own some houses. Took me years and sweat working extra to own some houses. It is one of the things I do on a small scale to build something for my children. Was working it today actually and it pisses me off that 1. people brought homes that they knew they could not afford and now want the government to reduce the loan and restructure the rate. 2. banks gave money to people who were over extended and were clear flippers. They were not investing, they were gambling and the money they gambled with was not theirs. This should piss everyone off that we are paying off their slips. They should get their legs broken if you ask me and that is both the bankers and the flippers.
