Obama’s $25B Bank Deal May Result in Banks Seizing Homes
President Obama gave homeowners some hope when he announced a one year moratorium on home foreclosures while he negotiated with the greedy bankers late last year.
But yesterdays announcement of a new $25 billion dollar settlement with the banks over fraudulent home foreclosures may result in homeowners losing their homes immediately.
Come on, did you really think President Obama was going to bail out homeowners the way he bailed out the bankers?
According to Bloomberg.com, the new settlement will result in an increase in home seizures that will inflict “short-term pain on delinquent U.S. borrowers while making a long-term housing recovery more likely.”
“With yesterday’s agreement,” Bloomberg notes, “banks are likely to resume property seizures.”
Trump endorses Romney; Says he will ‘save this country we all love’
As predicted by media talking heads, business mogul Donald Trump has endorsed Republican candidate Mitt Romney for president.
In announcing his decision Thursday at a packed news conference, Trump said Romney is “not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love.”
Romney said he was honored to receive Trump’s endorsement, but he is more concerned with winning the endorsement of Nevada voters in the presidential caucuses Saturday.
Romney, who famously said he didn’t care about the poor, is not concerned with repairing his image as a racist elitist.
Romney told CNN, “I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90 to 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” He added: “I’ll continue to take that message across the nation.”
Unless President Obama can pull a Herman Cain sized rabbit out of his hat, Romney will roundly defeat him in the upcoming Presidential election in November.

Rapper Angry at Mitt Romney for Using His Song
According to the Huffington Post, Rapper K’Naan is angry with Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney for using his song “Wavin’ Flag” during his Florida primary victory speech on Tuesday.
In a statement Wednesday, K’naan says Romney’s campaign didn’t seek approval to use the song and that he would not have granted permission if it had.
The Somali-born, Canadian-based rapper says he would happily grant President Barack Obama’s campaign the use of the song.
But Romney’s camp defends the usage of the song under a blanket copyright license that covers songs performed by candidates or played over public address systems.
It seems odd that K’naan — also known as the Dusty Foot Philosopher — offered his song free of charge to the Obama administration. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama didn’t have a hand in this. I never heard of K’naan or “Wavin’ Flag” until today. K’naan should be grateful that Romney gave his song free pub.
Listen to the song after the break.

Poll Predicts Huge Obama Losses
According to a new Gallop poll out yesterday, President Obama will suffer huge losses in red states no matter who the GOP candidate is.
From the Washington Examiner:
Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.
Mitt Romney Wins Big in Florida; What This Means for Obama
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney won a decisive victory over the struggling Newt Gingrich in the Florida primary last night.
A victorious Romney urged his Republican supporters to focus on defeating President Obama, declaring, “I stand ready to lead this party and to lead our nation.”
Romney’s ecstatic supporters included Blacks and Hispanics — the same demographic that helped President Obama seal his historic victory in 2008. Many of Obama’s former supporters have switched parties due to their lack of confidence in the Democrats.
So what does this mean for Mr. and Mrs. Obama? Well, let’s be realistic here: it means they should start packing the small things first.
The president and the first lady have accumulated a lot more possessions than they had when they originally moved into the White House 4 years ago, i.e. gifts from world leaders and such.
According to Goodhousekeeping.com, they should see moving “as an opportunity to organize and purge.” They should consider donating or selling items that they don’t want or need — rather than dragging all that stuff back to their home in Chicago.
Secret Service Probe Bullet-Riddled Image of Obama on Cop’s Facebook Page
A bullet-riddled photo of President Barack Obama posted to a cop’s Facebook page has attracted the attention of the Secret Service.
The picture on the facebook page of Peoria police sergeant Pat Shearer depicts seven young men, four of them holding automatic weapons, and one displaying a black t-shirt with an image of Obama that is bullet-riddled and slashed.
According to published reports, a citizen alerted the Secret Service to the image which has since been removed from Shearer’s Facebook page.
“Any time information like this is brought to our attention we have to conduct a follow-up,” Max Milien, spokesman for the Secret Service, said, according to AZcentral.com.
“We understand an individual’s right to free speech but we also have the right to speak to the individual to determine what their intent is,” Milien added.
Obama Sends Bin Laden SEALs to Rescue American Woman from Somali Pirates
Score another coup for Barack Obama.
Last night, while the president delivered his confrontational State of the Union address, a special forces SEAL unit parachuted into Somalia to rescue an American woman.
During the fierce gun battle, nine Somali pirates were killed and five captured by the SEALs. The U.S. special forces team was the same SEALs unit that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011.
The elite U.S. special forces team which killed Osama Bin Laden parachuted into Somalia last night and rescued an American woman and a Danish man in a fierce gun battle with the pirates holding them hostage.
Aid workers Jessica Buchanan, 32, of Rosslyn, Virginia, and Poul Hagen Thisted, 60, of Denmark, who were kidnapped last October, are unharmed and at a safe location. Source
