Obama talked for 1 1/2 hours and all I got was....

Hi People.
I haven't wrote (or written?) in a couple of days due to my new concoction of H1N1, swine flu, SARS, whooping cough and the boogey woogey flu. I am such a trail blazer. But, now I am back.
The President threw down his State of the Union speech last night and at the tail end of talking about how much better, and affordable, he's going to make education he said this about the real estate plan "That's why we're working to lift the value of a family's single largest investment -- their home. The steps we took last year to shore up the housing market have allowed millions of Americans to take out new loans and save an average of $1,500 on mortgage payments. This year, we will step up refinancing so that homeowners can move into more affordable mortgages".
Then he immediately went into health reform. Now I know there are plenty of important things to talk about, but maybe he could have took another five minutes and went into it a little more. It's estimated that there will be 3 million plus foreclosures this year. His reply to that, we'll fix it.
Maybe I'm a little sensitive because the real estate world is where I work, eat and live.
He is a lovely speaker.

God Bless America.
