boneman1 2013/01/07 16:50:44+24There's nothing progressive about an administration that's doing everything in it's power to destroy the concept of personal freedom and make it's citizens dependent on government to survive. They spend with no thought of how the debt will affect the country's future and the people that will suffer as a result. If you're proud of that kind of agenda there's little hope for you.

Don't we all want a piece of this action? The dems in this city sure do!
Recently, a local realtor shared his
experience with an "Obama supporter" he encountered
while showing homes to a low income, working family in Pontiac, MI..
I asked him to please write it down so I could share it.
Michael says,
As a Realtor for the past 28 years I thought I'd seen or heard it all Until now.
I was showing homes in Pontiac, MI. one afternoon recently and showed
up at a home at the 4:00 pm time my appointment was scheduled for.
After I woke up the homeowner, she let us in and then proceeded to
tell my buyers and I that she has already entered into a contract to
sell the home on a short-sale. (A short-sale is a sale where the banks
accepts less money than is owed on the home). After some chit-chat,
she proceeded to tell us that she and her sister (who also lived in
the area) were buying each other's homes via the short-sale process. I
mentioned to her that I thought relatives could not be involved in
those transactions. She smiled and said "We have two different last
names so no one knows the difference".
She went on to tell us that each...

names so no one knows the difference".
She went on to tell us that each of them owed over 100K on their homes
and were in the process of buying each other's homes for about 10-15K
cash. To top it off, they were each receiving $3,000.00 in government
provided relocation assistance at the closing.
My buyers and I were amazed that she was outright admitting to fraud
and yet, she continued. She began to tell us that the best part of her
scheme was that because they currently were not working that they
(both) are now receiving Section 8 Vouchers. I said I thought those
were for renters and she said That's the best part; me and my sister
are going to be renting each other's homes so we don't even have to
move, and Obama is going to give us each $800.00 a month to pay the
rent! She then picked up a picture she had framed of Obama and did a
little happy dance around her living room and while she kissed the
picture she was singing "Thank you Obama.... thank you Obama."
So here is the bottom line Both of these scammers got at least
$80,000.00 in debt forgiven, $3,000.00 in cash for relocation (when in
fact they did not relocate) and to boot, you and I will now be paying
(through our taxes) $1,600.00 in rent for each them each and every
month.... perhaps forever!
And I also would not be at all surprised if they are receiving food
stamps and whatever other programs are available for anyone who is
willing to lie to get assistance.
These women went from working and paying about $900.00 each in
mortgage payments to staying home and getting paid $800.00 each per
month to live in the same home they had been living in and all they
had to do was lie on a few papers. This craziness has to stop! I???m
sure this kind of fraud is going on each and every day all across the
country and no one wants to touch the subject of entitlements because
they might OFFEND someone or lose a vote or two.
By the way... she had an almost new SUV in the driveway, three flat
screen TV's and a very nice computer set up in her living room which
was furnished entirely with nice leather furniture.
I'TS THE NEW 'AMERICAN WAY'.....
So now tell me how the Dems are for the people! They want to get money anyway they can, legal or not and give it to those who choose to either NOT work or WON'T work.
Sorry, I choose to do what best for EVERYONE, NOT just the lazy cheats.
Also, rave #69
Maybe you could enlighten us Republicans on how Obama has advanced our economy without looking totally naive. You would be the very first to do so, if you dare! So then tell us how Obama has benefitted ANY of Americans, including yourself. Good luck ........
Which is why conservatives are losing more elections, and will continue to do so. Once they get in touch with "we the people," maybe they'll actually start to "get" it...that, opposite of Romney said, you can't "forget 49% of the people" and expect to get elected, much less get things done.
