		<description>Too many Congressmen launch hearings on too many insignificant matters. The financial crises is far from that and hearings must be conducted. It is clear some of our legislators have benefited from Fannie/Freddie and shold be investigated. These people believe they are above the law and must &quot;now come home to roost&quot; (to paraphrase a well known individual). </description>

		<description>Whatever political party pledges to only spend 95 % of revenue for the next 50 years will be my new party affiliation . 10.2 trillion dollar credit cards must be cut up and paid off or U.S. dollars might just be good for wallpaper . </description>

		<description>In a banana republic, just for anyone not familiar with them, lawmakers will promise everyone everything and anything in order to get elected. Once in power, their only job is to enrich themselves, their families and their cronies. And they are using the taxpayer monies to do this. Tell me that this is not happening?&gt;&gt;&gt; 
 
Wow, you just came to that conclusion? It is happening and continues to happen. Listening to politicians who have for decades have lied, made promises to the American public with no conscience or understanding of what truth and honesty is. I will never shake a politician&#8217;s hand, I&#8217;d be afraid I wouldn&#8217;t get it back he could steal my ring or watch. They tell you what you want to hear, to turn around and do something else. It&#039;s standard operating procedure. Yet, later they&#039;ll make statements and say, I looked at all the oppositions and my conscious got the best of me and I decided to change my vote.  In political speak, means I got something from another politician, made a deal with him/her if I voted for his Bill, he&#8217;ll vote and support mine. </description>

		<description>I am disappointed in Heritage&#039;s support of the economic rescue program, even with conservative amendments.  I believe it is a short-term solution with dangerous long-term consequence in precedent.  There are alternative approaches that involve less risk and greater potential for success. </description>

		<description>The sky is not falling and the world will not come to an end or I hope it won&#039;t. The American hard working public will continue to work hard with less. 
We&#039;ve not challenged our youth to step up to the plate, earn what they get and stop crying about not having the latest toys. 
It starts with a good education and follows with a strong work ethic.  
We don&#039;t have leaders, we have self-serving, me first politicians, who only want to look good on camera. Nancy, Harry, Barney and the mob need to go bye-bye! 
The one thing Americans do have is the right to vote out the wolves feasting on the people they are suppose to SERVE!!  
Maybe that&#039;s why so many politicians and the media is fighting so hard to make Sarah Palin look bad. 
I say, &quot;You go girl&quot;, make them represent the interest of America. </description>

American Citizens Outraged that Presidential Candidate Barack Obama won&#8217;t Address Recent Allegations that Documents Verifying His American Citizenship were Falsified 
 
Seattle, WA September 30, 2008 - Much concern is brewing regarding a recent lawsuit filed by attorney Philip J. Berg claiming that presidential candidate Barack Obama is not truly an American citizen. 
 
Much concern is brewing regarding a recent lawsuit filed by attorney Philip J. Berg claiming that presidential candidate Barack Obama is not truly a naturalized born American citizen. 
 
Instead of addressing the concerns of the American people regarding the Berg vs. Obama lawsuit, Senator Obama and the Democratic National Committee filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. They filed the motion on the basis that the Court does not have jurisdiction because Mr. Berg &quot;lacks standing to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for President of the United States.&quot; 
 
Voters want to know the truth beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person they vote for is a law abiding American national citizen. They believe it is their constitutional right to know all the facts before they vote. 
 
Filing a motion to dismiss their concerns has only elevated their doubt. Upon hearing about the motion filed, one Washington state voter said, &#8220;Mr. Obama may have a fancy Ivy League education, but there is a big difference between Intelligence and being mindful of our concerns&#8220;, 
 
Senator Obama seems to have the whole package. He&#8216;s young, he&#8217;s hip, and he seems to have a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. However, after elected, and voters find out the package isn&#8217;t what they were sold, do they get their money back? Is he offering a money back guarantee? 
 
They want answers and believe it&#8217;s their right to know all the facts before they vote. They hope he won&#8217;t sweep their concerns under the rug, or claim that they&#8217;re unqualified, or lack standing to ask these questions. 
 
Mr. Obama, you claim to be &#8216;present&#8217;, but are you even that? Where are you? Once and for all, please address these concerns. </description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been saving my cash in anticipation of the market contracting. I have no debt other than a small fixed rate mortgage on a modest home I put 50% down. I&#039;m content with an 8 year old car, a good income from investments in multifamily housing that I made it my mission to pay in full over the first 15 years I owned them, because they had adjustable rate loans and I remembered 17% and 9 point mortgages from the early 80&#039;s. 
 
On the other hand, many former tenants bought homes with no money down, spent huge $$$ furnishing them, have huge credit card debt and expensive car leases necessary to complete the lifestyle they bought into.  
 
Further, I didn&#039;t receive a single call in 5 years from any lender for a rental reference. And inspite of the fact that they broke their leases,  I couldn&#039;t talk these tenants out of taking ARM loan.  
 
To my knowledge, every tenant who was a recent immigrant has since walked away from their home and mortgage, several have sought to re-rent from me.  They were clearly unprepared and unknowledgeable about the possibilities of the real estate &quot;market&quot;. In addition, they did not honor any contract, lease or mortgage. They also seemed unaware that real estate is an investment with market risks.    
 
For those like me who chose the higher rates of a fixed rate mortgage, don&#039;t drive the latest vehicle, pay off our credit cards monthly, and save for rainy days-- we say, &#039;What&#039;s the reward if if we bail out those who made poor choices?&#039;  It&#039;s hard for fiscally conservative folks like me to buy into all this &quot;sky is falling&quot; and &quot;crisis&quot; and &quot;bailout&quot; howls. We&#039;ve paid more in interest on our mortgages, made less risky investments that gave us smaller returns (cd&#039;s and savings accounts- does anyone still have them?) and steer away from derivatives and other alien things.  We are taxpayers, we&#039;ve paid enough, not chasing every tax shelter out there because the simplicity and a less stressful life was our choice. Just don&#039;t ask us to live with the consequences of yours. </description>
