You hypocrites can have a field day with this one...from the left-wing Wall Street Journal...

So weve discussed the ethics of individual borrowers walking away from their mortgages. (Some say weve over-discussed it.) If its immoral, as some would say, for a borrower to walk away their mortgage, is it any different for a bank?
Morgan Stanley is doing just that. News reports on Thursday said the bank plans to give back five San Francisco office buildings to its lenderjust two years after buying them at the top of the market.
This isnt a default or foreclosure situation, spokeswoman Alyson Barnes told Bloomberg News. We are going to give them the properties to get out of the loan obligation.
Sound familiar?
I’m a hypocrites because of what exactly?
