I had heard that the changing standards in the mortgage industry (Congressional implications, there) had occurred, and figured the Section 8 housing had something to do with it (iirc, under Cisneros during the Clinton Administration). I was not aware of the A.C.O.R.N. connection to that change, but that ties Obambam back into the matrix pretty thoroughly.
If the numbers I have heard are anywhere close, the bailout puts my family on the hook for multiples of our current debt, while we live well within our means and frugally, so others could live well beyond their means and live it up.
If Americans really understood how thoroughly they have been screwed, the roads to Washington D.C. would be jammed with people looking to adorn the lamp posts with swinging bureaucrats and Congress people.
The media have no intention of reporting this connection between a group in which Obama has been extremely active, and in which he wields significant power, and the incredible social and economic burden that will result for not only our generation, but the next. These people have also indirectly placed our national security in jeopardy.
Yet even 'fair and balanced' FoxNews still busies itself with fluff stories, or at most stories that are significantly less relevant than this historically unprecedented betrayal of the public trust.
Thank God for the internet. At least this way we can attempt to inform those who are willing to expend more effort than sitting in front of their televisions in order to know the truth (I estimate that portion of the population to be approximately two percent).

The only reason the majority of Americans might react in that way would be because this particular affront hits them in the pocketbook. It reverts to the old 'It's the economy, stupid!' mindset. Which, in this case, is valid, but I have always cringed at that concept. There are many more blatant usurpations of power over which we should be revolting that are far more egregious than those that hit us in the pocketbook. But if that's what it would take for the lamp post/swinging thing to occur, so be it. Wrong reason, right reaction.
