BAH--Mortgage Mess

(read post then click on New Post link at top of page)

The “Covenant of Mortgage” is already broken where I come from--the birthplace of the Foreclosure Crisis. We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in January. In my cozy Ohio neighborhood three houses sit empty because owners walked away. Now my old house is underwater not worth what we paid for it four years ago. I admit there are times we want to walk away but we don’t think it is the right thing to do. So we pay rent here and mortgage there hoping that a first-time homebuyer or responsible renter will surface..

Now Banks and Speculators simply walk away from their obligations with impunity. Our mortgage company probably won’t budge on the principal. We qualify for interest rate relief but suspect they fail to tell you there is are significant hidden costs on the back end.

This is another case of Who you are--Big Banker-- trumping What you do--Paying Homeowner. Now Mr, Civic Journalist … unleash your Truth Squad to find solutions for your readers.. ..

The late Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Ted Kennedy) the lion of the Senate held the Democrat Massachusetts Senate seat for nearly 50 years. Today GOP's Scott Brown takes the win.

.............Obama respect or disrespect?..............

How will this effect health care reform? 57 Democrat seats in the

Senate vs. 60? (There are 41 Republicans and 2 Independents)

.............Obama respect or disrespect?...............

Still seems pretty high to me. Did Bush have this many Republican seats in the the Senate?

I don't think so.............. but he still managed to pass his tax cuts.

What do you think?

Obama Respect-Breaking News 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Winner"

(Read post then click on New Post link at top of page)
Breaking news announced today, October 9, 2009, President Obama 2009 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. What a great day in history!

President Obama surprised and deeply humble accepted the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize as a call to action.

The President said, " this prize is not a recognition of his actions but an affirmation used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes."

President Obama stands for what the Nobel Peace Prize committee looks for. They decided to award him the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to "strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

As stated in the Norway Post:

"The Norwegian Nobel Committee states that Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. "

President Obama said, " this award must be shared with everyone who stands for justice and dignity ...................and requires the help of those around the world"

What a day! President Obama is respected by many around the world.

Some think there are many in his own country who could learn to be more respectful toward him............. and so do I.

If there's anything negative to be said, say it about the committee, the people who selected him for the prize, they believe he is worthy..........but I would like to thank them for seeing and acknowledging to the world what they see in President Obama.

As stated in The Norway Post:

"The Nobel Peace Prize is an international prize which is awarded annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee according to guidelines laid down in Alfred Nobel's will...........

..........the Peace Prize is awarded by a committee appointed by the Norwegian Storting. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize is to go to whoever "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". The prize includes a medal, a personal diploma, and a large sum of prize money (currently 10 million Swedish crowns).

10 million Swedish kronor or crowns = 1.4257 million U.S. dollars

The Nobel Peace Prize has been called "the world's most prestigious prize". The Prize is awarded at a ceremony in the Oslo City Hall on December 10, the date on which Alfred Nobel died."

Thank you President Obama for "Change We Can Believe In" you make us proud.
