Mitt Romney Talks With Florida Foreclosure Victims

Is Romney serious, that banks are scared that they are going to go out of business? The banks have been well supported under the Obama administra­tion, the Fed has kept them well greased during these trying times so I don’t understand how Romney can say that and expect to be taken seriously. Romney is looking at all these poor people who are dealing with foreclosur­es through the lens of a man skilled in the leveraged buyout, let the market fall down to its lowest value so that the “investors­” can swoop in and make a profit and too bad for the poor blokes, who like the workers of those failed companies that Bain capital put out of work because they were dead weight, those poor blokes are dead weight in the housing industry. Romney’s perspectiv­e from his years at Bain Capital is not what the country needs, instead of cementing the economic misery of foreclosur­e as Romney would have cemented joblessnes­s in the case of the auto industry if President Obama had listened to Romney’s op-ed on allowing Detroit to go bankrupt, we need to find a way to keep the people in their homes, ideas has been offered by a few economists­, lowering the principal is one solution that I find to be better than letting all those people lose everything­, in the long run that produces more of a drain on the long term economy then a short term solution that helps people out of their misery.

I find it sad that we need to rely on two awesome comedians to provide us with analytical and critical political commentary­.Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are so successful because they fill a need, I cannot watch the Sunday morning news shows anymore because the pundits do not challenge any of the guests no matter how badly they lie and the roundtable discussion is always the same. If Jason Linkins didn’t sacrifice himself on a weekly basis by writing his T.V Sunday show roundup, I wouldn’t know what was going on in the world of politics in D.C.
