1. I live in the Phoenix area and everything Pres Obama

has talked about has happened in my little neighborhood - vacant home, 40% drop in home value...

It's terrible here. I hope he can help.

2. This President truly understands what's going on in

"real america".

3. Big applause when he said, "Yesterday I signed into law...."

.... "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act."

4. Plenty of Arizonans love this President!

:woohoo:

I still see Obama stickers on cars.

5. DOW goes down as Obama tells Wall Street it won't help them :)

6. This is taking place about a 1/4 mile from my house.

And here I am stuck at work. ::sigh::

8. So close and yet so far...

I'm here in the west valley. I would love to have seen this in person but I wasn't going to sleep on the sidewalk overnight.

Was traffic bad in your area today with Pres Obama there?

10. I imagine. : ) I have to be at work at 6am, so I leave around 5:20am.

There was no traffic at the time that I could see. But my driver coming back in from Tucson a couple of hours ago said it was bumper to bumper around Baseline.

7. ...or Loans FM\FM GUARANTEE!!! NICE .....on top of things!!! Good plan, now I'm for it!!

9. Allow lenders to do what they please for home mortgages.?

13. "encourages", but HOW that's going to happen isn't well outlined in PDF. I think they'll tank FM\FM

...rates and make the big boys compete.

If FM\FM are doing 4.5% then they'll get the new paper written.

11. Thanks, Clio!
