Barack Obama Shows Leadership On Foreclosures

This is what I like about Barack Obama, compared to John McCain. At a time when America needs some leadership during this economic crisis, Barack Obama is offering answers, or at least a plan, versus McCain's illusion of a campaign for presidency. McCain is trying to portray himself as "still in the fight," when America wants answers not campaign rhetoric.

From Barack Obama calls for moratorium on mortgage foreclosures

Democrat Barack Obama today called for a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures as part of a package of proposals to deal with the impact of the current economic crisis on voters, while Republican John McCain portrayed himself as a fighter who should not be counted out of the race for president.

That says it all. One opponent offering a plan, the other presenting an image of a fighter who hasn't been knocked out, yet.

With the troubled economy on voters' minds and polls showing Obama widening his lead with three weeks to go before election day, the presidential candidates fought in Ohio and Virginia, must-win states for McCain.

America has its mind on one thing right now, how can I afford the things I want to buy, as well as, keep up with the piling bills.
At a rally here, Obama unveiled four proposals to help people caught in the recent economic meltdown and gyrating stock market.

"We can't wait to help workers and families and communities who are struggling right now -- who don't know if their job or their retirement will be there tomorrow, who don't know if next week's paycheck will cover this month's bills," he told 3,000 supporters in a convention center in this northwest Ohio city. "We need to pass an economic rescue plan for the middle class, and we need to do it not five years from now, not next year; we need to do it right now."

"If Washington can move quickly to pass a rescue plan for our financial system, there's no reason we can't move just as quickly to pass a rescue plan for our middle class that will create jobs and provide relief and help homeowners," he said.


Now that Palin has cleared herself of any wrong doing in Troopergate, we can all sleep tight, casting our votes, and waiting until election day. Don't miss the final Presidential debate. They can also stop calling it a "rescue." we know it's a bailout.
