Obama Attempting To Reconnect With The Public

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, is stepping out of his cocoon, attempting to reconnect with the public, in the face of plummeting poll numbers. Has it finally dawned on the President that it is the everyday people that got him into office and not Wall Street and Hollywood.

He insulated himself in the White House and did not pay attention to the petitions of the populace, in favor of ingratiating himself with the corporate sector, engaging in massive spending. However, the damage is done in this regard, as he has broken so many campaign promises, which has soured the public on his presidency.

Obama Has Lost Sight Of His Goals

U.S. President Barack Obama has lost sight of the goals and lofty ideals he professed, when he swept to victory and into office a year and a half ago. This abandonment of ethics has greatly damaged his presidency, leaving many bewildered and confounded.

It is always sad when politicians stray from what they initially claim to be their moral code, as in the end, the people suffer when they are not given what they were promised. It's the general wish of all men to have a better life. We are all striving for something better and deserve more than broken promises.

U.S. Banks Still In Trouble

U.S. President Barack Obama

The U.S. banking sector is still in financial calamity. Banks are defaulting on TARP loan repayments and cutting down on the services provided to the American people, such as free checking, as the each of the accounts costs them $200-$300 per year to maintain.

Overdraft services are also being reduced, as the government passed legislation requiring banks to inform the American people, before such fees are tacked on to their accounts.

Too many unsound business practices occurred in the U.S. banking sector and brought the nation to this place. Bankers, brokers and mortgage companies got greedy in said sector and gouged the American people to terrible extremes.

The attitude was the American people would just have to pay for it somehow. You can't make blood out of stone. If people do not have enough money to meet your demand, they simply can't afford it.

In light of the unprecedented U.S. financial crisis of 2008 that is still raging, the world has to rethink how it does business, especially the U.S. government. The Judiciary Report is not calling for a new world order, as that is very dangerous.

The site is simply suggesting the following:

No country should be allowed to anchor the world's economy, as if it falls, it will take the whole world down with it.

Each nation must act in a financially independent and responsible manner. It will create healthy competition worldwide and address the best interests of each respective nation. It will also elevate the world.

Each country must have greater checks and balances in the financial sector, especially those that do large scale business with entities in other nations, investing in them.

Each nation must have greater financial transparency. That should be self-explanatory.

No country should be allowed to borrow money beyond its means of repayment

U.S. Unemployment Continues To Rise

U.S. President Barack Obama's plans to tackle the nation's unemployment crisis, is not working, as the claims continue to rise, adding to the number of those who are without work. The government needs a new plan.

This Unemployment Problem Is Not Going Away

Fat Joe Out Of Dough?

Rapper Fat Joe is selling his dream home in South Florida, for $1,999,999 after spending years building it. The home is located in the city of Plantation, which is just outside Miami, Florida.

Fat Joe

Recently released figures indicate, the property market in South Florida has hit record lows this month, with homes losing even more of their value. Properties have not rebounded after the 2008 financial crisis, as many that previously bought or built homes at premium prices, are currently saddled with devalued real estate, worth as little at 25% of their original value.

Unnecessary Foreclosures

America has experienced a record number of foreclosures that saw millions lose their homes. However, there is a national issue, exacerbating the problem. Municipalities and real estate boards in America, placing liens on homes, in violation of Homestead Law, then forcing properties into foreclosure.

Miami has been plagued with this problem, as has many other U.S. cities nationwide, where greedy residential boards, municipalities and property associations, have forced American families into foreclosures, via frivolous liens for items such as, grass that was not mowed in a timely fashion, house color violations, roof cleaning issues (mildew) and other cosmetic citations of that nature on perfectly habitable homes.

The problems arise when exorbitant liens for $25-$500 U.S. dollars per day, are unconscionably placed on properties and in many instances, foreclosure proceedings initiated.

Some homeowners did not receive citation notices, while others, who are on a budget or have lost their jobs in the current terrible economic climate, cannot afford to make the cosmetic changes demanded by local councils and end up on the street, when their homes are seized via subsequent council foreclosures.

Let that sink in. There are many people that are struggling to and manage to pay their mortgages, but are being confronted and harassingly so, by Code Enforcement officers, telling them their home is the wrong color, their roof is not clean enough (mildew) or their grass needs mowing, then placing a massive daily lien on their homes, triggering unnecessary foreclosures.

Another pattern emerging is crooked code enforcement officers rushing to place frivolous liens on homeowners properties, when they read of properties going on sale via realtors' websites, hoping to cash in.

Many Americans have been forced to sell their homes, to spare their credit during this tough financial crisis and hopefully gain some cash to move on with, using the equity therein, only to be confronted with terrible, invented liens, designed to steal the financial equity they have built up in their property over the years.

This foolishness should not be happening in America (or anywhere in this world for that matter) especially during a financial crisis. It is absolute fraud, as Homestead Law, forbids such liens, which are legally labeled "unenforceable."

In one such recent incident in Miami Shores, a Haitian man died of a heart attack, due to financial problems, including being harangued and harassed by said village board, over an accruing lien they placed on his property in 2004, in violation of Homestead Law.

Weeks after his death, a callous Miami Shores Code Enforcement officer, saw his wife trying to work in the home's garden and snidely informed her, in violation of U.S. Homestead Law, don't bother, because the Village of Miami Shores is going to own the home, foreclosing on it, due to some stupid, ongoing, daily lien they placed on the property in 2004, that has grown to the massive sum of $200,000.

She is grieving for her deceased husband and being confronted with such illegal insidiousness. The woman just buried her husband and has to seek legal representation, which will cost thousands, to save her home from a greedy, unconscionable village council.

Ironically, the village council is stocked with people that own construction and home repair businesses, so when they excessively cite homeowners, guess whose businesses you are likely going to end up going to in order to correct the so-called code violations on your home.

Ironically, just yesterday, a Miami Shores Village employee was arrested for embezzling $200,000 in funds from taxpayers in the area, who pay lien and sanitation fees.

The South Florida law firm of Genovese, Joblove and Battista, has openly and actively, broken U.S. Homestead law, launching American families in South Florida, into bankruptcy and severe financial straights, via inflexible, daily property liens, which have nothing to do with homeowners' mortgages.

Other similar law firms around the nation, are also egregiously breaking Homestead Law, costing Americans many millions in code enforcements citations/liens and in many cases, their homes. Something needs to be done about this on a federal level, as it is damaging American homeowners, whilst putting some out on the street in violation of existing laws.
