Obama's Chicago home gets foreclosed

CHICAGO,
IL - President Obama's Chicago homecoming on Wednesday was less
welcoming than he expected, as Obama was shocked to learn his Hyde Park
residence had been foreclosed upon some time last year. Obama was in
Chicago for a series of fundraisers and decided to visit his old home,
only to discover the locks had been changed and a new family had moved
in.
Since his inauguration, President Obama had neglected to
make a single payment on the home he'd shared with his wife and two
daughters, while the house itself fell into grave disrepair.
"The place started to become a real eyesore," said Kevin Deckman, who
owns a home on the opposite side of the street from the former Obama
residence. "The lawn was nothing but weeds, and there were a bunch of
stray cats that would come and go through an open window, I think. It
was a real health hazard. I had to tell my kids to stay away from the
Obama house so they wouldn't catch rabies."

stray cats that would come and go through an open window, I think. It
was a real health hazard. I had to tell my kids to stay away from the
Obama house so they wouldn't catch rabies."
Ironically, Obama had joked before heading to his old house that the untended structure was "bringing down property values"
in the neighborhood, which turned out to be true. Sheila Kravitz, a
retired schoolteacher, tried to sell her home on Obama's block last year
but couldn't, as any prospective buyer was uninterested in living next
to the decaying structure.
"They had a TV on in that house that
was on 24 hours a day for months," said Kravitz. "The volume was way up
and it was on one of the Spanish stations. Why would they be watching a
Spanish station in the first place? And then to leave it on full
blast? It's just so inconsiderate."
Daniel Broyles, a spinal
surgeon at the University of Chicago Medical Center, purchased the
former Obama home at a foreclosure auction last May and was headed to
his kitchen Wednesday night when he caught the president trying to jimmy
open the side door with a credit card. "He came through the door, and
we both had this moment where we were looking at each other like, 'What
are you doing?'" When Broyles explained to Obama the circumstances by
which he came to own the house, the president apologized and left.
In Washington the next morning, Obama downplayed the foreclosure as a
minor inconvenience. "Whatever. It's cool," said Obama. "It's not
like the girls and I don't have anyplace else to go. So I was too busy
creating jobs and killing Osama bin Laden to remember to mail a check.
Whoops."
Obama added, "If anything, I think this shows other
Americans undergoing foreclosure that it doesn't matter if they're
irresponsible or bad with money, because so is their president."
[Personal comment: Can you believe he made those statements!?! Coming from a president, I am appalled!]

A primary contest taking place in New York next Tuesday portends yet another embarrassment for the Democrat Party. In the newly re-drawn 8th Congressional District, City Councilman Charles Barron is running against state Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring Rep. Ed Towns. Yesterday, the African-American Barron picked up an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. How is this possible? As Duke explained, “The possible election of a dedicated anti-Zionist to the U.S. Congress, has thrown the Zionist-influenced media and the Zio-political establishment in a tizzy,” he said in a web video.
Duke, a self-described “white nationalist,” clarified his reasoning for backing one black American against another black American in a race far away from his home state of Louisiana. “In a race for Congress between an anti-Zionist black activist and a black activist who is a bought and paid for Zionist Uncle Tom, I’ll take the anti-Zionist any day,” Mr. Duke continues in the video. “In this election of limited choices, I believe that Charles Barron is the best choice. Why? Because I think there’s no greater danger facing the United States of America and facing the world than th...

Why? Because I think there’s no greater danger facing the United States of America and facing the world than the unbridled power of Zionist globalism.”
The reason for Duke’s support is obvious: Since Barron’s election to City Council in 2001, he has associated himself with anti-Israel groups and regularly demonized the State of Israel. In a 2009 interview with the Amsterdam News, he referred to the Gaza Strip as “a virtual death camp, the same kind of conditions the Nazis imposed on the Jews,” further claiming the Jews “massacre the Palestinian people, bomb their homes, churches and schools, and then block anybody trying to deliver aid to them. What this amounts to is genocide.”
He has also insisted Israel should never have been created, asking Brooklyn churchgoers in June 2010, “Where should we start? Should we start with the 1906 Zionist Convention, or in 1914, with the Balfour Declaration? With Menachem Begin, the terrorists, all the wars, you want to discuss Israel becoming a state in 1948 when it should not have? Who are the terrorists? You want to talk about the definition of terrorism? How do you define acts of piracy?”

So, was that you just being uniformed? Or was that you using your own brand of "satire"?
A farmer's holding a big fat pig in his arms so it can reach and eat the apples on the farmer's tree.
Passerby says "that's the biggest waste of time I have ever seen"
Farmer replies "yes, that may be so....... but what's time to a pig?"
PS - I will do you one better than that - come back at me again with your inane logic and I will block you. Your appearance of arrogance, derision, and ridicule are becoming not only tiresome to me, but I am sure repugnant to the readers. You just know so much that isn't so and are apparently too lazy to check it out for yourself, like a typical liberal, that I've quite frankly had enough of your nonsense.
And no worries, I am used to folks being called on their integrity blocking me. If you're integrity is lacking, the easiest, simplest response is to remove yourself from those calling you on it. Folks with integrity appreciate being informed when their incorrect, folks with a lack of integrity get angry, defensive and run away when they realize they've been misrepresenting something, so block away.
And, while you'll paint 40% of the population with the same brush (as a "typical liberal") I would never respond in the same fashion. I know many Republicans/conservatives who are noble, generous, loving, respectful folks. I would never lump them into some derisive statement about "all conservatives" being blah, blah, that would be dismissive of them, and an ignorant, shallow statement on my part.
"It is unthinkable that a president - someone with his position for heaven sakes - would stoop to this, because these are deliberate moves on his part - not simply irresponsibility, or forgetfulness. When he can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on vacations all over the world for himself and family from the public coffers, and simply ignore his own personal responsibilities is lunacy at its height! It is unpardonable! Period."
