Will Obama help or hurt Fractionals

It looks like the rich people got what they wanted. If they can raise $700 million for a campaign, then flying on NJs, Flexjet, XOJet, CS or Avaintair is certainly affordable. Hang on for the busy times.

Hard to imagine anything worse than the last four years. Actually, make that the last eight years.

except for the war, things were just fine until the mortgage mess of only about 1.5 yrs ago. Which was the fault of the democrats forcing companies to loan mortgages out to po' people.

You may not have to imagine it.

His plans to raise taxes and restrict free trade are very similar to Herbert Hoover's response to the stock market crash and credit crunch that began the Great Depression.

Barack Obama himself had this to say about what to expect:

"What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there. ... So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted." --

Barack Obama in January in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle -- the Chronicle spiked this part of the interview ++ "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it -- whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."

Plus recent reports indicate that Iran may have already tested two nuclear weapons. Biden's "test" may be imminent and may not even wait for Obama to take office.

The worst years of the Bush administration were after the Dems took Congress in 2006. Now the Dems are in charge of everything....

And pilots who just HAD to have the boat, the new car, the beach house, the city house, the BIGGEST house...oh, and two alimony payments.

When I was on furlough in 01 I was working in real estate law and we processed more than 30 "Jumbo" loans ($400k) a month...that's one a day. Then again we closed nearly 100 closings a day when most only firms did about that in a month!

We weren't closing those loans for the (ahem) "'po' people."

Do you really know what you're talking about or are you just regurgitating what you heard from right wing pundits? The majority of the sub-prime lenders were completely private companies, not Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.

I'm done fightin'. I'm drinking some beers right now, and will be behind our new president. Yes, I really know what i'm talking about. Didn't mean poor people, just meant it was easier to get loans over the last few years.

Fannie and Freddie didn't lend any money at all. They bought the mortgages from the lenders after they were bundled as securities.
