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".

Move out beeach...let someone who CAN afford the payment move in. Freekin’ LOSER.
A bus driver and an $800,000 house?? Probably has a big ole Lincoln, too.
Stop living outside your means.
How much you wanna bet it’s a school bus too.......
When I bought my home in ‘96 the lender tried to talk me into taking twice what I was asking for. If I had bitten I’d have barely been able to afford it...until the insurance tripled and the taxes doubled.
I bet a lot of people were encouraged to take more money. They were flattered and they took it.
A bus driver gets an $800K house? Bus driving must be very profitable now.
If this woman and husband knew they could not afford this mortgage then so did the lender. WHY would any sane lender push a mortgage he/she knew the buyer could not afford?
The literal value of the house had nothing to do with the amount of the mortgage. Appraisers come and appraisers go.
A poster child for what Rick Santelli was talking about.
WTF ?!?
man, I can’t say enough bad things about Minta. She and people like her are the reason we’re in this mess. I hope nothing but the worst for her.
1. I can’t believe that ugly box was ever worth $800K, and this fool should consider herself lucky it’s worth $675K now. She ought to sell it for whatever she can get—$500K? and consider herself fortunate.
2. There are so many people who are facing foreclosure and are far more sympathetic characters: people who have had setbacks due to health problems, layoffs, divorce or widowhood, natural disasters, and other of life’s problems. Not this vain fool.
She should be living in a little apartment like Ralph Cramden.
Minta is an idiot.
A bus driver in an $800,000.00 house?
I was hoping the reporter would ask what she and her husband’s combined income was...but no..they wouldn’t dare get to the nitty gritty details.(eye roll) Did she and her husband lie on their loan ap?
Those are the questions that need answering!
Everyone is a ‘victim’ now and they want those of us who were responsible home buyers to pay for it!
Time for that Tea Party!
Minta wants an easy way out. Dave Ramsey would be offering tough love.
This is exhibit A in Santelli’s tea party.
This is outrageous that you and I will spend our tax dollars to help these parasites.
Throw their butts out on the street...
In some areas people bought houses for the purpose of selling for more in a short time. It worked some of the time then but not now.
