		<description>Joseph,

Seriously now, those comments are ridiculous. Has Obama been perfect, no. Has he done a good or bad job, that&#039;s yet to be determined.

But to hear all the nonsense from the Republicans is just Nuts! Even though I&#039;m a conservative sometimes I think that my part is going CRAZY. We look like fools if you ask me, especially when we just speak ignorance.

GW without question did a horrific job, at best. So lets not try and bring Our New President down to that level. We should want and pray that Obama succeed. However, it seems like there are two teams and that&#039;s just DAM SAD!</description>

		<description>Marc -

This has been the toughest year yet for getting short sales approved. I had one bank lose my authorization to release information four times. We&#039;ve lost more buyers this year than I successfully closed last year and speaking of the black hole; where are all the short sales turned foreclosures going - they are not coming back on the market - at least not at the rate they were.</description>

		<description>Marc:

Yes, your clients experience is the same I have experienced out here in California. You submit an offer on a short sale and it goes into a &quot;Black Hole&quot; - weeks go by and months and nothing. I always suspected that the banks were understaffed, but I never thought B of A would have only 8 people nationally.  They have had more than three plus years to get staffed up, now.  I just don&#039;t get their thinking. Hope you client gets a response.  btw - love the pic, from one of my favorite movies.</description>

		<description>If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? 
 
 If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of cheap and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? 
 
 If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky? 
 
 If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved? 
 
 If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent &quot;Austrian language,&quot; would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? 
 
 If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?  
 
 If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
 
 If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him on it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?
 
 If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
 
 If George W. Bush’s administration had OK&#039;d Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
 
 If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed just to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? 
 
 If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
 
 If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? 
 
 If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have 
 approved? 
 
 If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10n years, would you have approved?
  
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? 
  
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved? 

 So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him the &quot;most talented man we have had as president for a long time?&quot; Can&#039;t think of anything? Don&#039;t worry. He&#039;s done all this in 5 months -- so you&#039;ll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.</description>
