Don’t be surprised when the shoe drops and the next housing mega-bubble bursts. We are in the midst of another leftist created –Govt. market- manipulation disaster. It is truly incredible that today, in 2009, thieving idiots like: Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd are still securing new mortgages for unqualified people-using the same criteria of the “Community Re-Investment-Act”, which was responsible for the collapse of our economy last year. The only different is that instead of guaranteeing the loans (given to unqualified people) by Govt backed Fannie Mae; these new bad loans are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae-another progressive, Gov't created agency; funded by the tax dollars of the American Citizenry. Right now, American is unrecognizable and has changed into something which is the antithesis “reason”.

For example: approximately 2 months ago, the Obama Administration offered a Government backed 4.32% or 4.23% rates to refinance people's primary residence mortgage. As an American, I called the advertised number in hope of lowering my current rate of 6%. Long story short; I was denied.

When I asked the rep why? He responded that I am “not passed due” on any of my credit accounts. In turn, I said, "Yes, I always pay my bills on time and I am aware of the fact that my credit is exemplary; "So what is the Problem?"

What this Government representative said next shocked the hell out of me! He said "Listen Mr. A, take down my name & number; do not make you next two mortgage payments and then call me a week and half after the scheduled due date of your second mortgage payment has passed." It was simple- he said that he could only help me get this special (government funded, below market) rate- if I was pasted due on my current credit obligations- or in other words, only if I had bad credit! We are no longer a Capitalist Country, where hard work and fulfilling one's obligations puts him a better position to get ahead in life. Obama and his Radical progressive cronies are actively destroying as many parts of the system as they can, at lightening speed. It is impossible for a Nation, a Company or an individual to flourish when failure is rewarded and diligence is penalized.

IF ANYONE DOUBTS ME, see for yourself: Go to http://www.ginniemae.gov and then type into the upper left had corner search box: community reinvestment act

I read somewhere online that ABC had reworked some things to "soften" the "unintended" criticism of Obama. I don't know if I was reading a legitimate source at the time or not. It'd be nice if they could really be the rebels Hollywood always claims to be and just go for it.

I wonder if it's a response to criticism of the Ori storyline. I don't know if they really received criticism or not, but Cooper felt the need to answer it in the commentary.

Typical of Hollywood to release a children's flick ( AstroBoy) and attempt subliminal indoctrination by showing communist posters on walls.

Jane Darwell is a fine actress, BUT , in this picture… she's caught listening to one of Obama's many, phony speeches and she can't conceal her disgust.

My jaw dropped when I saw that commercial with the aliens promising universal health care. Nothing would make me happier than to see V become a critique of Obama and those that worship him. I fear that may be a pipe dream, however.

I heard that a lot of the cash for clunker purchasers were businesses who traded in their old fleets, got the $4800 or whatever for like 100 cars and put that toward a new fleet. So Big Business cashed in again…

Blame Army training.
