Where there had been blips of increased activity and asking price during the 2nd quarter of 2010, those have been replaced by measurable decreases in price, as well as a steady increase in inventory.

Senator Benedict Arlen Specter became the fourth Democrat in seven months to lose a high-profile election despite active involvement in the campaign by Obama. The Associated Press, in their infinite wisdom, said that this is "raising doubts about Obama’s ability to help fellow Democrats in this November’s elections." You think?

Health Care Corruption Continues: Obama Buys Votes With Promise of Amnesty For Illegal Aliens
Barrack Obama continues buying votes in his effort to seize control of the US health care industry. The latest effort of this profoundly dishonest President buys votes from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, promising amnesty for illegal aliens.
In his latest example of corruption – and his perversion of the American political system – Barrack Obama succeeded in securing the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s endorsement of ObamaCare legislation by pledging to push an amnesty plan for millions of illegal aliens.
In this apparent quid pro quo, the president’s promise to push amnesty in 2010 coincidentally came just hours after members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus promised their support for the health care reform bill. The announcement further coincided with the release of an outline for amnesty legislation authored by Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham.
