I hope I don’t regret this. I rarely weigh in on any of the presidential candidates, as I’m not completely happy with any of them. This comment from presidential hopeful Barak Obama however, was simply too silly to ignore:
Obama made a "surprise" stop in North Bend, Indiana Thursday at the local VFW, and was asked a question:
As Obama got ready to leave the VFW hall, another man piped up and asked about the downturn in the housing market, and credit problems a lot of people are experiencing.
Obama says he would negotiate between lenders and borrowers to establish fixed-rate mortgages for people with so-called "subprime mortgages," whose rates are skyrocketing.
"Once people feel confident about the housing market, credit is going to start flowing," Obama said.
"What do you think is the first step to making that happen?" said the man who asked the question.
"Electing me as president," Obama replied, smiling.
