My sister is losing her house too, her husband lost his job due to downsizing, and she has a little girl with autism and a little boy with an IQ off the chart that requires constant mental stimulation. They can't afford his COBRA any longer, and the water has been turned off.

My house is worth exactly half of my principle mortgage balance, 20% of my neighborhood is bank owned, crack whores, gangsters and drug dealers have moved into several empty homes (once worth $500k and up), I'm awakened nightly by helicopters with loud speakers and bright search lights, and oh yeah, I almost forgot, at least three times a week I hear gunshots. I can't sell my home and move out of the neighborhood because my mortgage is upside down and I wouldn't be able to afford the tax liability if I sold short.

And I'm damn proud to support a president with brains and class. He didn't do any of this. It's a miracle we aren't all standing in soup lines.

I think you need to get some perspective and quit whining. We are all in the same boat you know. The thing is, when you're cooped up in a boat with whiners, it gets fucking old, real quick.
