John McCain’s acceptance speech this evening was stilted, his smiles forced, and his fresh ideas non-existant. One thing he said, however, struck me, and that was, “I fight for Americans. I fight for you. I fight for Bill and Sue Nebe from Farmington Hills, Michigan, who lost their real estate investments in the bad housing market. Bill got a temporary job after he was out of work for seven months. Sue works three jobs to help pay the bills.”
Wow. Heartbreaking, no? They lost their real estate investments in the bad housing market.
What about the millions of people whose homes were foreclosed on because of predatory lenders? McSame is so out of touch he thinks the victims of the subprime mortgage crisis were people who couldn’t make a profit on their investment properties. Those poor, poor house flippers. If I weren’t cleansing my colon right now [read: shitting out the legos I swallowed when I was six] I’d throw up.
