1. Live in an ObamaHut owned by ObamaHouses.

2. Buy an ObamaCar from ObamaMotors.

3. Get an ObamaPill and an ObamaDoc from ObamaCare.

4. Get a checking account from ObamaBank.

5. Buy our insurance from ObamaAIG.

6. Buy our energy from ObamaCapAndTradeCorporation.

7. Get a house mortgage from ObamaFanna.

Indeed. I wish I could draw. But here's an idea:

A picture showing a main street of shops in the foreground with shoppers looking in the windows. One shop for each of the items I listed. All of the people working in the shops, like clerks, car salesmen, doctors, agents, etc. - they all look like Obama, but are dressed in the clothes of their profession.

In the extensive background on a big hill behind main street, we see all of the factories, windmills, office buildings, etc., and they all have the Obama business names I listed. Also, included are massive buildings to house the government agencies that regulate the businesses, at least a couple for each item I listed, and each government building is much, much bigger than the business, factory, etc. that it regulates.

Oh, and lots of ObamaHuts further in the background. And all cars on all the streets would be little Ompa-Lumpa ObamaMobiles.

That would be a pretty good political carton.

Anybody here want to draw it?

I knew this was coming. The Kenyan can kill two birds with one stone. He can give his race housing and wreck middle class neighborhoods with ghetto crime and racism at the same time.

Those people live like rats.

When you visit "poor" neighborhoods in large American urban centers, notice the trash on the ground. People there, like our Russian comrades, just don't care. It is rare to see anyone out on their own initiative just collecting trash. I resolved to do just that if I ever have to live in an urban area. Pair of gloves, trash bag.

These folks who don't care, who have no "hope" for "change", who have no incentive to improve themselves or the area around them, whose only aims in life are drunkenness, sex, and a full belly, are the same ones who elect those who lecture us about the environment and littering.

better than encouraging ppl to buy house

They did it to themselves - if they can't add and subtract they shouldn't be looking to buy anything. This does not include those that lost their jobs - that's unforeseen.

Plenty of gutted houses in Michigan and Ohio. Let them buy those for cheap and fix up their own homes. Public housing units are a disaster plus breeds crime and illicit drugs.
Isn’t there enough proof already from this? Obama is an idiot!

Destroy white suburbs

He's not happy unless he is destroying. Are they going to pay the high taxes?

There used to be a saying - it’s probably considered prudish and puritanical these days: Idle hands are the Devil’s favorite tools.

“and instead plans to pump $4.25 billion of economic stimulus money into creating tens of thousands of federally subsidized rental units in American cities.”

The authority to do this, is located where in the Constitution?

Or, to quote P.J. O'Rourke about these high-rises..."city planners discovered that you can't stack poor people who drink."

I live in a very modest suburb and a somewhat racially mixed neighborhood of mostly homeowners. The people for the most part take care of their homes and properties. Grant it these are not mansions but not public housing debacles either. The majority of homeowners (whatever ethnicity) take better care of homes they own vs. rental projects.

PS. I challenge any congress or senators who propose such public housing to live in one for 6 months before passing any stupid legislation for building more of them.

When I look at the first pic on post 118 reminds me of my immigrant ancestors around 1905 in NYC and the type of housing they lived in with no govt aid. Through their hard work and enterprising they bought homes of their own and they received no govt. subsidies.

This is where the Feds move section 8 people into my subdivision. Only it won’t be called section 8. They will have a spiffy new name for it and it will be 100% gubbermint run. A complete cluster-FUBAR

At least section 8 has private landlords. Here the Feds are your landlord as you move in next to me and pay a rock bottom rent ...Much less than any mortgage payment. And you will have twenty screaming out of control brats

Notice whatever the majority doesn’t want - he’s hell bent on giving it to us.
