I agree that off topic is essential to give people something to talk about when there’s nothing to report in real estate, but this is blatant electioneering, and in my view has no place here. It’s an attempt to use the internet to fight Obama on his home turf. There was a recent post that asked where everybody has gone? This kind of shallow political posturing may be one reason. It certainly has turned me off, and I’ve been spending more time on other blogs. One way to deal with them is just to ignore them completely, and they will pass down the active topics list quickly.
