April 16, 2010 Editorial NY Times Fighting Foreclosures From the start, the central concern about President Obama’s antiforeclosure effort has been that it would postpone foreclosures but ultimately not prevent enough to ease the economic strain from mass defaults.

Nobody ever thought that returning a lady’s purse to her after a purse snatcher ran away with it was a gift.

Editor’s Note: Due process requires that nobody be deprived of life, liberty or property without a judicial determination on the merits of claims against them.
