mortgage". What I saw was someone who had hope

There is a difference between 'hope' and 'expectation'. This woman was clearly expressing expectation.

And it's not only among blacks and hispanics. A lily-white friend of mine, formerly well off, was ground to a powder in the housing bubble. He bought up land at its peak under the ill considered notion that it couldn't go down "ain't makin' any more land!" He owes on it but can't give it away. He really, actually expects (not hopes) that an Obama administration is going to pay his speculative indebtedness.

Well, if that is true, then I stand corrected. I have not personally heard any Hispanics or White people say that they expect Obama to pay for their mortgages. I have heard white people say they hope Obama will pay for their college(erase their student loans, etc) but not gasoline or utilities and things like that.
