  President Obama: End the Foreclosure Epidemic

  >>2008 was a bad year for housing in the United States. And yet, as Kathryn Baer commented on yesterday's post, we heard nothing of "housing" or "homelessness" in President Obama's inaugural address. What gives?<<
  
  Hi, I never really comment here, but I read pretty regularly. I am a VISTA at the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County in FL.
  
  I think Obama visiting the shelter on MLK day was supposed to be his nod towards homelessness. Rather weak if you ask me and I'm an Obama nut.
  
  Abromowitz's ideas would go a long way in stabilizing the market, a lot further than throwing money at corporations who turn around and spend it on parties.
