Obama readies steps to fight foreclosures, particularly for unemployed (WaPo changes headline)

UPDATE: Apparently ordering the banks, car companies, health insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, medical device manufacturers, energy companies and states around is not enough for the Obama Administration, as they apparently also ordered the Washington Post to completely rewrite the headline of the article cited above, and WaPo, sadly, agreed. First, here’s the accurate headline chosen by the nominally “independent and objective” newspaper Washington Post:

“Obama administration to order lenders to cut mortgage payments for jobless”

That is an accurate headline as it actually describes the new initiative planned by Obama. Now, this morning, after some scolding by the Obama Administration, the Washington Post editors trashed the old headline, and replaced it with an Axelrod-drafted left wing talking point:

“Obama readies steps to fight foreclosures, particularly for unemployed”

The actual policy planned by Obama, of course, hasn’t changed. However, now millions of Americans will see that new headline, a pure dollop of spin directly from the Obama Administration, instead of the accurate former headline. Indeed, the word “order” now does not appear anywhere in the article. This latest manipulation of the establishment media by the Obama Administration is just another piece of evidence that proves everyday Americans can no longer trust the media to accurately report upon the activities of the Obama Administration.

Don’t do that unless you want the federal government to end up owning your residence.

Slap! Slap!
Come out of it, boy! You give the enemy too much control with those images.
This is no time to allow negative emotions to control you. You must be clear of thought. We need you healthy and sane for the coming apocolypse!

If Obama had a brain, he’d couple this with some high-profile arrests
of some Wall Street dorks that decided to use INSANE leveraging
practices that help caused this mess.

AND the guys over at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that aided and abetted
the housing-bubble debacle.
