This is very similar to his talking out both sides of his sitting down end 
about the Stimulus and part of it up in pretty paper and calling it "The 
Making Homes Affordable" program "to further prevent foreclosures and assist 
borrowers with mortgage loan modifications."

Bet no one read the fine print on that one either.  The thing reads that if 
the bank will make more money on a foreclosure, then no loan modification 
money is available.

That program is NOT about helping the homeowner but rather more about banks 
making money.

Sheesh!  I think it should be required that not only lawmakers read the 
blooming bills but that voters do too!

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable friendly.
