I may not be the world’s biggest Obama fan but the latest news stories about him getting a “discount” on a new home is absolutely ridiculous. Can’t they do any better than this?

He locked in an interest rate of 5.625 percent on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, below the average for such loans at the time in Chicago.

Russo Yesterday was a busy news day for homeowners with failing subprime mortgages. The legislature, the Department of Corporations, and consumer groups were all out in front with newsworthy items.

In a previous post I had mentioned I belonged to USAA. For anyone who doesn’t know, USAA is an insurance company founded by Air Force personnel back in the days when military members found it almost impossible to get insurance. As it turns out, I had saved an article from their USAA MAGAZINE, Spring 2007, issue. It was about mortgages. Keep in mind the date of this particular issue. By the way, USAA has a reputation of being one of the best carriers in the country with a very stable business Jacob Turk's Election Video
Can YouTube make a difference? Jacob Turk, running for Congress against Emanuel Cleaver in Missouri's 5th District, puts out a great video of why he's running. It's pretty simple. The more that people watch this, the more they're likely to vote for someone like Jacob. Politicians like to keep it simple, and incumbents know the less they speak, the better chance they have of being elected. Turk's approach is honest, straightforward, and exactly what the average citizen wants to hear. THas Ted Haggard Found A New Way To Fleece People?

Not that they were trying to be objective about it in the first place. Apparently Tuesday the Subprime Senator, Kent Conrad visited the Herald to give them his side of the story. That rated not one but two articles in the paper. One on the front page (at least it was on their website) and one on the editorial page. I don’t know which is worse. This story was completely inappropriate for a news story in that there was no objective reporting. When a politician is caught in a scandal do yoMortgage Rates Finally Get Some Relief

Initial claims were up 10,503 on an NSA basis, and up 16,000 on an SA basis. SA weekly claims exceed 400,000. The extension of unemployment benefits was a good step, but initial claims numbers will be amplified because people will now reapply to get those benefits.

Fairfax County, Virginia becomes the first local community in the country to kill two birds, the mortgage crisis and the affordable housing challenge, with one stone: a housing program to buy foreclosed properties for middle income families. I doubt you'll find anything close to Fairfax County anywhere in Tennessee, which has its own wavering habits that squander precious time. I don't see anyone in Metro Nashville making these kinds of plans. We would rather subsidize our mildly supportedBarack Obama wants change?
Then I suggest he start right in his own home. Barack Obama was the recipient of one of those “sweetheart” home mortgages that we’ve heard about. An extra good deal on the mortgage with a below market interest rate and no discount points or origination fee paid to legitimately reduce the rate. From the Washington Post: Shortly after joining the U.S. Senate and while enjoying a surge in income, Barack Obama bought a $1.65 million restored Georgian mansion in an upscale Chicago neighborhood.

Former BBC reporter Evan Davis has admitted that the media may be to blame for fostering the boom and bust of the UK housing market. Media to blame Davis says that one factor which may have contributed to an unsustainable boom was the way the BBC reported on every house price survey which showed rising house prices. The effect, he says was to create a powerful wave of optimism about the housing market, which was unjustified.

Look, if you HAVE the ability to repay over a quarter of a million dollars in credit card purchases so that it isn't "ongoing debt", that's fine. But can we please stop calling Barack Obama an elitist, and writing articles about how he bought a house with a mortgage a few basis points under the average for those of all credit ratings and income levels, and making it seem as though the McCains are like the rest of us because Johnny the Curmudgeon can man a Weber grill?

Evidently, there were 461,000 foreclosures in the month of May. CNN is complaining that Congress went on vacation for July 4th weekend (when they need to look patriotic wearing their lapel pin at the fireworks show at home to be reelected).

Three Asians and an American were stranded on a deserted island. They got down to divvying up jobs. One Asian said she would fish. Another volunteered to gather coconuts, berries and fruit. The third decided to gather fire wood. The American volunteered to eat. He would eat his fill, and then let the others divide up whatever was left. Now, if you are a modern economist you will say that the American is an essential cog in the system. He is creating a demand for the products produced by tBill Davidson has opinions
