The fact that Obama supporters are offended by this is more evidence of this bias. You fail to accept that Obama is anything less than perfect, based only on what you are exposed to. If both sides were fairly depicted, analyzed, priased and criticized then the public could make a more educated decision.
Instead the media chooses a candidate and people blindly follow.
I was in downtown LA today and saw “OBAMA” tagged in spraypaint on the guardwall of a freeway offramp. My guess is whoever did it couldn’t tell you what MBS or ARM stands for, or even point to Iraq on a map, but that person is convinced Obama is right.

ParticipantSo, what kind of backlash do you think there is going to be when the average citizen looks down the street and sees that his neighbors, whom make 100K less than him own a house just as nice as his, and he is helping pay for it through a write down?
That’s exactly the question every politician or economist for preventing foreclsoures needs to be asked.
It’s a moral hazard. If it comes to this you may as well go out and buy the multi-million dollar dream mansion. And while you’re at it quit your current job, go to work at Starbucks making minimum wage plus tips, get your payment reduced to 38% of that income, then go back to your other job.
The most I hear these ridiculous ideas the more I truly believe it’s lip service for homeowners who don’t know better want prices to stay elevated, those facing foreclsoure who need help, and banks who are trying to sell these worthless assets.
The reality is lower housing costs are good for everyone. They either refuse to accept this, or are scared to admit it.
