Bus driver Minta Garcia admits that she and her husband bought more house than they could afford, but she said "the lender made the purchase all too easy." Now the home that she purchased for $800K is worth $675K and she wants Obama to "Stop the foreclosures".

The posterchild of not paying your mortage. A bus driver and her husband who is a construction worker live in a $800,000 with a "t", thousand, live in a home that they cannot pay mortage on. And Obama wants to bail them out. WTF??????????????????? We're in this recession mess because of toxic mortgage.

Dude, I can't even afford an $800K house. There is another story where a fruit picker who makes $14,000 a year and got $700K house in Bakersfield.

I did it for six months once, and I didn't have to be as financially screwed up as those folks are to wind up there.
I also survived and moved on from it - by busting my ass.

So was I.
I'm approving of your suggestion. Maybe it'll pull some heads out of rectal orifices.

What were the idiots that took out these loans thinking, and what were the lenders thinking? I've always been taught that what you pay for housing should not exceed more than 1/4 of your net income.

Yeah, but that $700K house in Bakersfield is likely a tin roof shack with an outhouse in the back.

Maybe he could send some extra work her way, what with all the people he's thrown under buses so far.

Easy money, and we'll worry about it later.

I bought a home thats 1/8th the cost of that. It was what I could afford. I'll bet our household income is the same or higher than theirs.
WTF is with these people??

Don't forget all those renters who are paying artificially high leases because of the stupidity.

How many of those were second houses that people bought with the idea of flipping them for a profit?
