“The banks did it because they knew they would rake in $billions. Now the governement is telling to them to lend more to small business owners and give homeowners of foreclosed homes a break, and they choose not to do it. I'm not buying it.”

“Remember, most of these people were paying their mortgages until the teaser rates went up, and most of these bad loans offered by banks were teaser rates not refinances. You tap into your home's equity with a home equity loan or a loan that acts as a line of credit.”

“You didn't answer the question. All you did was repeat Repub talking points. All you said was they threatened the banks. Yes, they lobbied hard and presented proposals, but the banks had something to gain from these subprime loans....Billions of dollars in profits.
Just for your info there was a national study that showed uppper-income Blacks were 2x as likely to be denied loans than Whites, so your pathetic excuse to bring Jesse Jackson into the picture is absurd because racism was a real issue.
Where in my post did you see that I "demand" a link; I just wanted to know if you knew what your were talking about, and now I know...you don't. Republicans were for Acorn before they were against it...just ask McCain.”

“Just curious, What was was the "big role" Acorn played in this?”
JerryLevy replied on Nov 15, 2009 at 20:12:18
“ACORN lobbied very hard and threatened banks who did not give loans to unqualified people with accusations of racism (the Jessie Jackson strategy) and pushed liberal congressmen in the house to "investigate" banks who would not tow their line of giving loans to favored borrowers. Instead of demanding links, simply go into google and type in Acorn lobbying and see what comes up.”

Oprah On Showing Charla Nash's Face, Another Interview Too Shocking To Air (AUDIO)

“What??? Oprah doesn't have 49 mil + viewers.”
toocoldout replied on Nov 15, 2009 at 12:56:27
“The president only won the Democratic nomination by a few hundred thousand votes not 49+ million. It's a statistically proven fact that Oprah delivered him about a million votes (especially in game changing states like Iowa) especially since she was the first & most influential big name to endorse him. Whoever got the Democratic nomination was destined to take the white house (it was a Democratic year).”

“You Repubs are hillarious. If Pres Obama had implemented this plan or makes an announcement tomorrow that he will use this plan, you'd still be complaining because most (not all) of these people were minorities.
Do you really think Palin and McCain could have solved this problem in less than a year? BTW, it was your pres (Bush) who led the cruasade for home onwership in 2002, and the banks jumped at the opportunity by giving Bush what he wanted just so they could make a profit at the expense of these homeowners. It doesn't matter what Pres Obama does or say, you won't agree.”

“Do we need to give you the real history AGAIN? It was Clinton under the CRA that really pushed lenders to loan to minorities. Maxine Waters "This is a great day in history. From now on things like credit and ability to pay will no longer be the criteria for lending" Fannie and Freddie bought the loans. Franklin Raines got 96 million in bonuses. Bush Admin tried to regulate. Barney and Maxine called them RACIST. Here we are now! There's your REAL history kiddies.”

“Well, it seems the best and the brightest on Wall Street developed an equation for a bad economy: derivatives + risky packaged loans. On Wall Street bonuses are not about quality of work but quantity.”

“You should try watching C-Span. Saturday's debate was too entertaining, not one dull moment.”

“yes the funniest moments or should I say ironic moments are when some Republicans exclaim that the Majority party is abusing it's control or some such similar comment. They should know since they did that the entire time they had control. In my view they are wasting their time complaining about it. You reap what you sow as far as I am concerned.”
