****“Many monumental errors and misjudgments contributed to the acute financial turmoil in which we now find ourselves. Nevertheless, the vast accumulation of toxic mortgage debt that poisoned the global financial system was driven by the aggressive buying of subprime and Alt-A mortgages, and mortgage-backed securities, by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The poor choices of these two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs)-- and their sponsors in Washington -- are largely to blame for our current mess”****

The Financial Stability Plan – Progress So Far: Over the past six weeks, the Treasury Department has implemented a series of initiatives as part of its Financial Stability Plan that – alongside the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – lay the foundations for economic recovery:
• Efforts to Improve Affordability for Responsible Homeowners: Treasury has implemented programs to allow families to save on their mortgage payments by refinancing, assist responsible homeowners in avoiding foreclosure through a loan modification plan, and, alongside the Federal Reserve, help bring mortgage interest rates down to near historic lows. This past month, the 30% increase in mortgage refinancing demonstrated that working families are benefiting from the savings due to these lower rates.

Q1: Why are supervisors performing the capital assessments?

[Poll dancer]

Liberals love polls all kinds of them.

[vlakitti]

Yessirs!

I think it was the release of the torture memos that made Obama look like the man they voted for. It's a total reaffirmation of the man setting the country on the right track after the disgraceful Bush years, as a majority thinks, and a strong leader.

His poll record's in the mid 60s as opposed to Bush in the 20s.

I think it was the dumbest thing he has done to date. You liberals are more worried about the people that killed 3000 Americans on 9/11 than the 3000 dead Americans. Thank You Bush for stopping any further attacks in the USA. Lets see in 8 years how many more Americans are going to be victims of terrorists when the CIA becomes afraid to do anything because they may get hauled into court to be judged by a bunch of liberal judges. What a waste of time and money on a liberal politicl witch hunt.

Misguided opinions like yours.

An embarrassed Democrat (me) wonders aloud: so, Barack, the first 100 days is almost up. What exactly have you done to make this place better? That gigantic suck-hole of a stimulus package was passed in February, and states and local governments are still pulling their hairs out trying to figure out how exactly they are supposed to access it.

I am MAD AS HELL about these LIBERAL POLLS. Everybody I know HATES The COMMUNIST MUSLIN DICTATOR OBAMA. What I think happened is the GOVERNMENT IS CREATING CHEMTRAILS TO BRAINWASH OUR PEOPLES SO THE UN CAN TAKE OVER like they did with the ELECTION. I'm keeping my GUNS READY and I've laid in a YEARS SUPPLY OF CANNED BAKED BEANS. AND YOU SHOULD TOO! It's time REAL AMERICANS started COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR TAXES AS LOUD AS WE CAN. Because you know the LIBERALS CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE OUR TAX MONEY TO THE CHI-COMS AND ALSO SPEND IT ON ABORTED BABIES. So WE NEED TO GET ANGRY. And as ASSISTANT CHIEF COMMANDER of the DES PLAINES FREE CHRISTIAN MEN'S MILITIA I'd like to invite all you REAL PATRIOTS to the ANNUAL ANTI-TAX WHINE-ATHON AND BARBEQUE. Best ANTI-TAX sign wins a FREE CASE OF BUSH'S BAKED BEANS FOR YOUR ENDTIMES SURVIVAL SHELTER. No OBAMA LOVERS. Families welcome and by families I MEAN REAL FAMILIES because if HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES IT MEANS YOU'RE A COMMIE. See you there.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD, GUNS AND BAKED BEANS!

Very well said. I agree

Obozo is the worst President ever, and has only been in Office for 101 days and has done more harm than imaginable.
Printing money is not the answer.
Just wait the chickens will come home to roost soon enough. Obozo is opening a can of worms with the interriogation senerio. Bush,Cheney, Congress etc... on fox news sid Obozo is going to bring all the ones that ordered the interriogation to justice.... Obozo wants to watch the toes he steps on is all I can say.

America is a Presidentless Nation.

Janet Napolotano is going to get what is due her as well.

What was Obozo smoking to allow, Pelosi, Hillary, Napolotano, Reed, Frank, Gritner in the White House doors. Im ashamed of this crooked bunch.

DICTATOR OBAMA is ruining AMERICA! We are being TAXED TO DEATH. THEY keep spending money on wasteful things like roads. WELL ROADS ARE SOCIALISM. Why should I PAY for all the ROADS I DON'T USE. It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AND GOD BLESS THE CONSTITUTION except for some of the LATER STUFF like the 16th AMENDMENT WHICH IS THE TAX ONE. WE DON'T NEED THAT ONE. And also whichever one it is that let WOMEN VOTE. Because it was mostly WOMEN that voted for SOCIALIST OBAMA. AND THE FEMINISTS HAVE HOMOSEXUALIZED AMERICA. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I don't need any socialized female NANNY STATE and REAL MEN DON'T EITHER. When I tried to put some goats in my backyard last year the DES PLAINES ZONING BOARD WHICH IS SOCIALIST gave me a TICKET! It seems THE SOCIALIST NANNY STATE WON'T EVEN LET YOU KEEP NANNY GOATS!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!

I think America saw through Hillary.

You should be really happy Hillary never got in.

Obama mama is a clone of Jimmy "Clueless" Carter.
