Has anyone seen the cover of the New Yorker Magazine? I really think that when the (press) starts going after family members as easy targets we need to let them know that this is unacceptable behavior by not buying their product.
With so much of the Internet world focused on these two candidates, I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. And as a self-proclaimed Internet propeller head, that hat would look something like this: Instead of ranting and raving about the issues and which man is right for the job, … (1 comments)
As most of you have heard or read, Iran "tested" at least 7 missiles today. This has increased tensions in the Middle East and around the world. Israeli minister, Ze'ev Boim stated that "Israel should prepare itself to do what is needed to do."http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7498214.stm

Ok, so I was taking my daughter to cheer practice this morning and heard that candidate Obama was going to be there at the same time she was having practice! 
Foreclosures to rise whoever wins White House - according to JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer ,
I am not sure who I am voting for, but I have seen a lot of problems with both canidates. I tend to like John McCain's Character and Resilience, and I like Obama's eloquence, and passion. I do not like the age of McCain, and some of his policies. I do … (5 comments)
Once again New Hampshire is in the news! Unity New Hampshire, a small town in the western part of the state, is hosting two Big Name Democrats....Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton.
I just read where Senator Obama is sweet on Ethanol....But has he looked closely at all the NON food based alternatives? Using food based crops to produce fuel is not too smart in my opinion! There are so many alternatives like cane/switch grass/Jatropha Curcas and many others.
I couldn't have said this any better than my friend, Harriet Young, Chair of the Coconino County Democrats. I haven't had a bumper sticker on my real estate vehicle ever. This year, I do.
A new government study on the strength of the US economy is a mixed bag of news. The report was introduced recently and found that November retail sales rose 1.2%. This is obviously good news for retailers anxious about the upcoming buying season. Some other good news is despite some slow … (0 comments)
I've been watching the recent debates between both presumptive canidates on thier views of how to solve the nation's Mortgage crisis.
People who study birth order will tell you that firstborns are most likely to be high achievers.
Please allow me to share these funny political videos:http://www.filipinosforobama.com/video
I used to love politics. Sure it can be rough, and I haven't met many politicians that can keep a promise longer then they can tie their shoes. But atleast you felt that you always had a choice. This election is making me sick to my stomach.
Shall we examine the recent history of elections in Florida? I think not. Do Floridians get too much Vitamin D, i.e. too much sun? Maybe. How will Florida vote in the upcoming presidential election? Will it be Obama or McCain?
I heard on the news today that Barack Obama will be in St. Louis at the Renaissance hotel this evening for a fund raiser. I believe it is by invitation only.
Who do you feel would be the better President that will help the Real Estate Industry the most?
Just curious after watching her today on FOX news...twice..yes, I suffered through that twice.
According to Reuters News, the two main Presidential candidates have vastly different approaches to housing and related economic issues.
If one word is the lead image then why not this for McCain? Obama took Change. Hillary should find one good word too. Actually change will be, anyone, in fact.
The following is cut directly from each campaigns website on how each candidate plans on dealing with the housing and mortgage crisis this country currently faces. I want this blog to be about why we would elect a candidate strictly based on where they stand in helping our industry improve. 
Have you heard about the sign that someone was holding during a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton? It said : "HILLARY, SHINE MY SHOES". Very little press covered this story.
Are we an uptight nation for making a big deal about Obana calling the interviewer a Sweetie today?
For a number of months now the primaries have largely been devoid of race issues. Sure there's talk of Barack Obama … (196 comments)
CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN15% (no change) OBAMA28% CLINTON24% How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you … (2 comments)
No need to rehash the whole scenario... we're all very much aware of what has been happening on the political scene the past few days. It seems that the talking heads from both sides (or all three sides, if you will) are all on the same page with this one. They see … (21 comments)
There was a little publicized interview on April 16, 2008 where the chief political advisor to the Prime Minister of Hamas says Hamas wants B. Husein Obama to win the US presidential election. He says the only reason Obama is against Carter's visit to the middle east is because of the … (0 comments)
They really need to worry about Obama because he is the one that wants to raise the Capital Gains tax up to 28%!
I'm scared...really scared. At this point in my life, I can't afford to buy any investment real estate. So, what do I do? Trade stocks and options. What scares me is that if the Bush tax cuts are not made permanent, investing in the stock market suddenly becomes much less attractive. … (5 comments)
Dear Mr. Obama:
I received this through my
e-mail today. Thought it was pretty funny. Hope you
all get a laugh out of it too.
I'm not one to normally talk politics. In fact I kind of despise it, but this is such an important topic in today's world. I have not done a ton of homework on each candidate's views regarding housing issues so I'm asking my fellow bloggers to help out.
Former President Bill Clinton toured Havre Great Falls, Helena, and Butte earlier this week, and on Saturday night, April 8, he'll be in Butte, Montana at the Democrats' annual Mansfield-Metcalf celebration. On that same stage that same night, Senator, Barack Obama will be on at 6:40 p.m. and Senator Hillary Clinton will be on at 9 … (1 comments)
The recent news that the passport files of the three presidential candidates, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain have been accessed by contract employees of the State Department has brought the issue of information security and personal privacy to the public's attention. According to an AP report, passport files … (3 comments)
Dear Senator Barack Obama,
I usually write about real estate. But every so often I like to throw in something completely different. So now for something different
Regardless of who you support in this election - Senator Clinton, Senator McCain or Senator Obama - this is a speech that you should watch in its entirety. I have never before heard a politician speak this directly, or with such subtlety and complexity, about this important issue facing our nation. 
Last night in an already tense market some major changes happened. A major investment bank had to be bailed out and sold at a fire sale. Investors lost huge amounts of money as a stock that traded for $30/share (and was up to $171 sometime last year) was sold at $2 … (12 comments)
Obama or Clinton? Who knows or better yet who should care? Why on earth are so many people worried about politics, when their own lives are so far out of order? To me, many of the people asking questions about politics are like a homeless people asking me what type of … (4 comments)
Yesterday was a political junkie's dream come true. We had massive chatter about what to do about Michigan 
When was the last time that we saw a tsunami of people get behind a cause in this great country? I saw it in Chicago at the Greenbuild Convention in November of '07. It was breathtaking. Interestingly enough, President Clinton was the keynote speaker, and he was far from breathtaking; he … (0 comments)
As we see the list of candidates for our next President narrow to 3 (Senator Clinton, Senator McCain and Senator Obama) and eventually 2, which candidate do you think would be best for the real estate market going forward?

I was shocked to see the bill Barack Obama introduced in 2006 S.2280 Stop Fraud Act. This may be old news to some but this is the first I heard of it. 
This is the first presidential election that has been so controversial in my lifetime. What concerns me is Barack Obama. He promises many changes. What if these changes are not for the good of the United States? Does anyone know exactly what changes he is referring to?
Answering an earlier blog from Nicholas and some of the comments that followed his post, I wrote this short statement on my feelings on the subject of the Senator from IL. being welcomed as an almost messianic figure. I took some pretty sharp criticism as if I attacked Mr. Obama personally. The 2 paragraphs below … (1 comments)
I think we should have had better choices, a person like NY's mayor Bloomberg who seems to run his fiefdom economically and in a user friendly manner would be an excellent choice of chief executive. After all he is a CEO and running the USA must require the same talents plus … (1 comments)

It does not get any better than this folks.
Hello all,
