Less than 1% of ALL mortgages are in foreclosure.

Does that sound like any kind of "crisis"?

I dont know many republicans/conservatives happy with McCain.
I think his military service is honorable but IMO he sold out the republican party..
And i especially hate his weak stance on the border.
Obama is hyped too much,hiding too much,and has a leftist record.
I would rather have Hillary than Obama at least i know who i m dealing with..

I would imagine the same reason democrats are enthusiastic about Obama.

I doubt the rising gas prices (which are now falling, if you haven't noticed) had much to do with Bush, or because of Bush.

People are losing their (spelling) homes because the banks and mortgage lenders were greedy, granting loans they knew the prospective homeowners could not afford in the long run. It's called credit, good and/or bad.

The clowns who are bowing before the messiah are not really looking at what he is iterating. He says he wants to raise the taxes on the most fortunate. That's fine, that's dandy; however, remember the trickle-down effect of economics? Hike those taxes, messiah, and just who is going to be paying for it all in the long run? The common man and woman who must buy the necessities from those folks at the top.

Yes, I do realize this sounds like McCain and/or Palin, whom you obviously do not like, yea, disdain, but think about it, tell me I'm wrong in the end.
