I didn’t hear her say this because I’m not paying attention but if she did, she’s going to get hammered for this lie.

Does she even employ fact checkers?

Hillary lied?

I am shocked...shocked!

“That is a lie. While on active duty, a soldier’s home cannot be foreclosed without court order.”

I heard her say this too, and I was certain this was not true. Where the heck did she pull this from?

Hillary may lie but she’s not going to be the nominee.

Obama is the one that has to be beaten.

The USA Today article referenced on Hillary’s website:

Clintons have never lacked for chutzpah. Bill Clinton used the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act in attempting to avoid the Paula Jones case since he was then Commander in Chief!

Here is what seems to really be going on:

In a nutshell, the lenders are either not aware or are ignoring the law that is already in place that protects active-duty service members from foreclosure.

And from what I can tell, the stats that Hillary mentions in that article on her website mixes in numbers from VETERANS facing foreclosure along with the active-duty personnel. Well, that changes things, doesn’t it? And even veterans are protected by a one-year moratorium after returning from active duty, I believe.

So Hillary’s claim that she is going to “fix” this “injustice” is bogus. As far as I can tell, there is nothing to fix.

You also have to be a pretty incompetent attorney not to know these protections exists for servicemembers. But then again, who said she ever was a competent attorney.

I’ll give Hillary the benefit of the doubt on this one (especially given that we’re talking about the mortgage industry, which has a reputation for integrity that’s about on a par with Hillary’s). There’s also a law requiring employers (above a certain size, I believe) to give reservists their jobs back when they return from active duty, but there have been plenty of verified reports of that law being broken. I’m sure there are cases where the foreclosure law is being broken too. And unlike a job, which can be given back or compensated for with money, after a court finds the law was broken, having one’s home sold to and occupied by strangers isn’t always reversible, since the location may have been ideal and a great deal of personalized improvements put into the home. If Hillary’s bringing attention to this saves even one honest serviceperson from having this happen to them (and I think that’s very likely), I commend her for it.
