Being a Politician today is such a Noble Profession. Yeah Right...These guys (& gals) are slobs. Today's "leaders" are slimy pigs. They preach from on high about how the people need to be better when in fact they are doing things based on their position of power that the commoner is often simply accused of...

All 30 of these loans should be reviewed for fraud with the same disregard for compassion that any struggling citizen is afforded. These loans and the Friends of Angelo members may actually be case studies for exactly how greed has taken control of Politics and the mortgage industry. I wonder if discrimination can be a charge against any lender who approves a borrower based on status instead of guidelines???

Seriously, when one of these slobs gives his or her sermon about how one should take care of their obligations, and then come to find out they peddled political power to get a better deal then the common folk, you know the working stiff who voted for them...Keep in mind, these are the pigs who are making the laws that are killing our mortgage industry and these are the slobs that are making the rules that we the peasants have to live by...
