I think I've gotten my fill. I was enjoying the bickering and it was making me chuckle everyone trying to one-up each other in the PC race, but I'm burned out on the spin.

What about you?

I'm betting most of America forgets to vote in November, or just doesn't care.

No, I'm still enjoying it. It's fun to see what Hilary is going to do or say next... I'm going to miss her shenanigans when she's gone. Then I'll have to depend on Michelle for comic fun and surprises and I don't think she'll disappoint!

Ah yes. I am going to miss Hillary. She gives a dose of masculinity that's running shy on the Dems side...


You know though, one thing I really like about this process is that I think PC is losing it's glamour. People, I think, must be saying that it's just stupid.

If the Democrats keep trying to help people get out of the housing "crisis", then all those worried people who wanted to get a Dem into office to solve their woes will instead be resting on their laurels in their comfy pads that were saved from foreclosure through handouts. Backfire much?

“It is past time for the federal government to take direct and decisive action. To provide immediate relief, I am proud to join with Chris Dodd – the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee – to introduce legislation creating a new FHA Housing Security Program, which will provide meaningful incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages, and to convert them into stable 30-year fixed mortgages so that homeowners facing foreclosure can keep their homes. This will provide a federal backstop for lenders to reduce the principal of loans that are priced higher than the value of a home so that they are affordable for homeowners. It is not a bailout for lenders or investors who gambled recklessly. It is not a windfall for borrowers. Instead, the Dodd-Obama bill is a responsible and fair way to help bring an end to the foreclosure crisis facing the country.

“This is part of my comprehensive mortgage agenda, which includes resources for pre-foreclosure counseling, a tax break to working families on their mortgage interest payments, and tough penalties on fraudulent lenders. We must provide immediate relief to American families and to the American economy, while also taking the necessary steps to prevent this crisis from happening again.”

Not tired of it. I'm a political science major. I eat up election years. I almost wish they were every year.
