During the first 18 monthls of the "credit crisis", I've been able to refinance a mortgage, obtain a car loan, and also a signature loan. But like you, I have a long history of actually repaying debts. That makes me an enemy of the people that The Moron is trying to help.

Who to? Every bank I shopped at for a mortgage was willing to bend over backwards to give it. Am I missing something? By the way, I think the house numbers will be up in March too with those early 4% days. The common phrase Obama and a few others are saying is that they have to get the banks loaning money again.

All the better to pass a nation-killing bill that will turn us into a smoking heap. I hope he fails. Yep, Obamy has to keep the “crisis” at full boil.

They'll figure out a way for the market to tank again so we can go back into full tilt crisis mode again. Maybe he get his boss, Massa Soros to do it again for him. Like they say next door in New Hampshire, Live Free or Die. Barry and his posse can’t be happy about this, they haven’t got all of their agenda forced through.

Also.. Note the timing of Geithner's announcement of intent and planning on Monday with these numbers coming out. Timed perfectly to coincide with a virtual lock on a market upswing. Predictable, but few caught it. Makes it look like the Market LIKED what Geithner had to say... DGA is correct.

I'd like to have very little cash anywhere at that horrific point in time.

Who could possibly have imagined that people would choose to live in brand spanking new homes with monthly costs lower than 20 year old apartments? And likewise, it is quite shocking to see a rise in purchases of durable goods that in many cases have declined in prices by about 20% or more, particularly since prices are scheduled to "skyrocket" by the Moronistration once the desired inflation kicks in. These mysteries are something that it would have simply been impossible to forecast. Economists who openly stated that capitalism always corrects itself after 6 to 18 months of a downturn were just lucky. And on a side note, isn't it an amazing coincidence that Mr. Geithner chose to announce TARP II on the very same day that the housing figures were scheduled to be announced. After all, nobody knows until the very last mili-second what the report will be, so it must be entirely coincidental that he was able to enjoy the market bounce that always result from a favorable announcement.
