More Government Spending: Obama Unveils $275 Billion Plan to Shore Up Housing/Mortgages … Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Bail Out

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN … REWARDING THOSE FOR DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO …

“The biggest outrage is that the president’s plan actually will use taxpayer money to pay people to do what they are already supposed to do — pay their mortgage” (AL Senator: Richard Shelby)

And some say that because we talk about politics, we are not a crime blog. Wake up folks as what is being perpetrated upon you is a real and true crime.

When will the Obama government spending stop, why do we keep rewarding people for failing and who is going to pay for all of this? Does John Q. Public really think that the government pays for these bills? Your children and grand children will be paying these bills. Start printing up the Obama dollars and wait for inflation to set in.

Obama just got through passing a 787 billion stimulus “pork” spending plan and now he unveils a $275 billion mortgage payment bail out.  Is anyone adding all this up as I have run out of fingers and toes to count? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the very institutions that caused much of the credit/mortgage crisis are being bailed out to reek havoc on America again. WTF! 

U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $275 billion to cut mortgage payments for as many as 9 million struggling homeowners and enable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep loan rates down.

The plan includes $75 billion to reduce monthly payments for borrowers, helps homeowners with loans owned or backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to refinance at lower rates and promises incentives to industry. Obama will double by $200 billion funding available for Fannie and Freddie to buy loans.

Casey Anthony … I HAVE NO REGRETS … Says Tot Mom of Caylee Anthony in Journal After Child Went Missing

What type of person writes “I have no regrets” after their child goes missing? Maybe a guilty one.

Five days after 2 year old Caylee Anthony went missing and was last seen, tot mom Casey Anthony wrote the following entry in her journal. Think this is not going to be a prosecution exhibit in the capital murder trial of Casey Anthony? What is that hisses sound? It’s the slow leak from the Casey Anthony Defense team tire.

“I have no regrets, just a bit worried,” Anthony wrote in a journal entry dated June 21. “I completely trust my own judgment I know that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies the means.”

“This is the happiest that I have been in a very long time.”

What are the odds that today Casey Anthony regrets writing that she had no regrets in her journal?

There is an age old adage that states, do not write anything that you do not want to show up in court. Casey Anthony should have taken that advice. In the journal entry written after Caylee Anthony went missing, “I have no regrets,” may just be regretted after all by Casey Anthony, Jose Baez and the rest of the defense team. The information was released in the most recent 1000 page document dump.

To make matters worse for Casey Anthony, the docs show that many of the items found at the crime scene such as the duct tape have direct ties back to the home of Cindy and George Anthony of which docs pointed out “NO fingerprints were found on the duct tape belonging to George, Cindy or Lee Anthony”.

Talk about a crime …

Only in America can an “ILLEGAL” sue for having their rights violated. Talk about your oxymorons. It was determined that their rights were not violated; however, that did not stop a jury from awarding them money. That is correct, an “illegal” was awarded money for entering the United States illegally? What every happened to property owners rights?
