“"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--

“" WASHINGTON (AP) -- Extraordinary government efforts to stabilize the housing market are paying off. What happens when the help runs out is anyone's guess.

Sales of previously occupied homes surged in November to the highest level in nearly three years, spurred by federal subsidies for starter homes and a massive Federal Reserve push to drive down mortgage rates.

The strong figures were driven by a race to take advantage of a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers. The credit has since been extended to next spring, but the government initially planned to end it Nov. 30.

"It was like the end of the world," said real estate agent Stephanie Somers of Re/Max Access in Philadelphia. "All the first-time buyers converged onto that one month."

From AP yesterday from same author. Wonder why HP didn't put this article on the front page.

Oh, I can tell you why. Because they are trying to keep the public blind of any positive signs or their entire attempt to crush this administration and his economic advisers will go down the tubes.

HP can only hide things for so long.”

“I also chaff at loose lip criticism of the President but you've got to remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. The Democratic Party is a coalition and the progressives have both a right and an obligation to promote what they believe in. And, they'll frame it however they feel will best get their principles and ideas heard.

But, make no mistake about it, when push come to shove, and the right pulls a boner_ like they did recently by voting against the defense appropriations bill, I noticed everyone came together and spoke as one voice, if but briefly, to blast them for their hypocrisy.”

“I guess some people just fell for the Republican talking points stating he was "The One" and he was going to wave his magic wand and change America in one fell swoop!

I'm guessing after health care is tackled, which is probably the toughest fight that will benefit the most people, this admin didn't want to throw many other issues into the mix.

I'm expecting more aggressive positions to come. I think people are writing this health care legislation off as some kind of failure.

He's gotten commitments of some of the more conservative members of the Senate to agree to passing this legislation. That no small feat.”

“With the mandated purchase of private insurance with fines and/or jail time for non-compliance. Obama never stated that he would not sign a bill without a robust public option - that would have been leadership. Also, any Democratic president in office at this time would have been in the same position to pass HCR. The conditions were already in place, and the support of the public was strong. Even Obama doesn't pretend that it was all of his engineering.”
