Ravin R10 man Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) After I read this it done lit a "short fuse"! You won’t believe this….or maybe you will. ------------------------- We felt like this was the perfect time to share this IMPORTANT story with you. Recently, our good friend Michael (a local realtor) shared his experience about an "Obama supporter" he encountered while showing homes to a low income, working family in Pontiac, MI. We asked him to please write it down so we could share it with you. YOU SHOULD BE SITTING DOWN WHILE READING THIS: As a Realtor for the past 28 years I thought I’d seen or heard it all… Until now. I was showing homes in Pontiac, MI. one afternoon recently and showed up at a home at the 4:00 pm time my appointment was scheduled for. After I woke up the homeowner, she let us in and then proceeded to tell my buyers and I that she has already entered into a contract to sell the home on a short-sale. (A short-sale is a sale where the banks accepts less money than is owed on the home). After some chit-chat, she proceeded to tell us that she and her sister (who also lived in the area) were buying each other’s homes via the short-sale process. I mentioned to her that I thought relatives could not be involved in those transactions. She smiled and said "We have two different last names so no one knows the difference". She went on to tell us that each of them owed over 100K on their homes and were in the process of buying each other’s homes for about 10-15K cash. To top it off, they were each receiving $3,000.00 in government provided relocation assistance at the closing. My buyers and I were amazed that she was outright admitting to fraud and yet, she continued. She began to tell us that the best part of her scheme was that because they currently were not working that they (both) are now receiving Section 8 Vouchers. I said I thought those were for renters and she said “That’s the best part; me and my sister are going to be renting each other’s homes so we don’t even have to move, and Obama is going to give us each $800.00 a month to pay the rent!” She then picked up a picture she had framed of Obama and did a little happy dance around her living room and while she kissed the picture she was singing "Thank you Obama.... thank you Obama." So here is the bottom line… Both of these scammers got at least $80,000.00 in debt forgiven, $3,000.00 in cash for relocation (when in fact they did not relocate) and to boot, you and I will now be paying (through our taxes) $1,600.00 in rent for each them each and every month.... perhaps forever! Is it any wonder why so many people have decided that all they have to do is VOTE for the Democrats and they will be taken care of for life at the expense of the taxpayers? I would not be at all surprised if they are receiving food stamps and whatever other programs are available for anyone who is willing to lie to get assistance. These women went from working and paying about $900.00 each in mortgage payments to staying home and getting paid $800.00 each per month to live in the same home they had been living in and all they had to do was lie on a few papers. This craziness has to stop! I’m sure this kind of fraud is going on each and every day all across the country and no one wants to touch the subject of entitlements because they might OFFEND someone or lose a vote or two. By the way... she had an almost new SUV in the driveway, three flat screen TV's and a very nice computer set up in her living room which was furnished entirely with nice leather furniture. I'TS THE NEW ' AMERICAN WAY '..... For all of the "do-gooder's" who voted for Obama to help the "less fortunate"....CHEERS!

PotashRLS Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just threw up a little in my mouth. Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right. Disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i'd like to hope he reported them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes...that does get my blood boiling a bit. It is no surprise that the current administration is going along with scams like this. But how long can this last before there is no money to support these criminals and freeloaders ? I am curious if the attorney general of that state knows about that. Lord knows Eric Holder could give a rats behind about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes this is disgusting but there's a lot of other things going on similar to end result of this that have disgusted me just as much. This is what happens when taxpayers have a minority share of the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COEngineer Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Don't believe everything you read on the internet. snopes.com: Short Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Don't believe everything you read on the internet. snopes.com: Short Sale Very true about what you read on the net. BUT... While snopes can be a good source of info for dispelling rumors and myths...The owners of this snopes are MAJOR BHO supporters and contributors. There is no liability for claiming something to be false and it is true. You can find this info for yourself....again on the net. A Google search revealed that Snopes.com is owned by David and Barbara Mikkelson, who live in Southern California and are Obama supporters. An interested reader (unknown to me) suspected that Snopes had a liberal bias after discovering several "half-truths" and distortions. Compare their analysis of the Obama/Ayers connection with truthorfiction.com's analysis of the same subject. Snopes minimizes the connection, categorizing the rumor as a "Partial Truth," while truthorfiction calls it a "Truth" and, in fact, references a CNN expose of the two, as well as a Wall Street Journal article about their connection. Snopes not only does not reference either source cited above, but instead, lists a quote from an Obama spokesman as its main source. snopes.com: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers Barack Obama and William Ayers-Truth! Another comparison of Snopes vs. Truthorfiction is their treatment of the email regarding "Obama's 50 lies." Snopes adds editorial comments favoring Obama on unproven statements or even on proven ones where the comments are that he is "taken out of context." snopes.com: Obama's 50 Lies / Obama Not Exactly Obama Lies?-Truth!, Fiction!, and Unproven! There are other things that they list as false, even though Youtube has videos of Obama or others actually making the statements. Seems Snopes has a liberal agenda and TruthOrFiction.com-Is that forwarded email Truth or Fiction? Research into stories, scams, hoaxes, myths, and urban legends on the Internet might be a better, unbiased source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 But how long can this last before there is no money to support these criminals and freeloaders ? There is no money to support them now, look at how far in debt we are with the end nowhere in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 "Short Sale" Also "less than factual"... http://citizentom.com/2013/02/03/let-me-know-if-you-can-refute-this-another-email-yarn/ But just because it's a fictional anecdote, doesn't mean it can't raise a good point.
