SEE LIVINGLIES LITIGATION SUPPORT AT LUMINAQ.COM THEY STILL DON’T GET IT EDITOR’S ANALYSIS: The plan is from Wall Street, the facts are fictional, and the result will be negligible.

Pres. and Michelle Obama's Satisfaction of Mortgage Was Robo-Signed — Clouded Title on Obama Home

Editor’s Note: I have not confirmed this information but it looks completely valid. The president received a satisfaction of mortgage from a fabricated, forged instrument having no validity whatsoever. UPDATE: The notary signatures appear to be forged as well.

LABOR DAY ABYSS

EDITOR’s comment: Everyone seems to agree that nobody really knows the identity of the creditor in the millions of mortgage transactions that were created from 2001 to 2008.

Obama: A Bold U.S. Plan to Help Struggling Homeowners

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE DELINQUENT TO SETTLE OR MODIFY. It might just be a good time to pick up the phone right now and call the servicer, trustee, or whoever is saying they have your loan (even though they don’t) and make a deal. Think about it first. Don’t be too generous to them …

With the Obama administration and private lenders actively considering mortgage-principal-reduction programs to help financially distressed homeowners, the Internal Revenue Service has issued an advisory to taxpayers who receive — or seek to receive — such assistance if it’s offered.

Obama Considering Expansion of Cash for Keys With Taxpayer Money

Editor’s Note: It seems to me that this concedes the battle to Wall Street. It encourages homeowners to take the loss that at the very least should be shared with ALL the players in the securitization scheme and creates more problems in housing and social services.

Obama Gets a Set — Accepts Volcker's View

Editor’s Comment: Finally! The president has now played out the Geithner-Summers scenario and seen the results — a large middle finger raised in the air from an arrogant bunch of people who are tone deaf to the needs of the nation and the world. This decision brings us into line with the rest of the …

Wisdom Succumbs to Wise Guys

It is difficult to imagine anything more obvious than splitting the risk taking core model of Wall Street from the risk averse core model of banking. The dilution of Glass-Steagel over the years and its eventual repeal is exactly how we got into this mess. Coupling that with deregulation and non-transparency created a context in …

Those $18 billion in bonuses were earned from hidden profits: The Joke is on Us

Obama is of course correct in his outrage. Taking hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers to cover the appearances of catastrophic losses and then paying bonuses for good management is over the top by any standards. But neither he nor the media is correct in assuming that that the bonuses were not in …
