>> No I voted for Kerry. Ah. The "underhanded" blame someone else. Doesn't sound quite so obvious, but it amounts to the same thing. The current president after nearly a year in office, still cannot take responsibility for anything he has done. He spent nearly a trillion on "stimulus" that doesn't stimulate. He is planning another trillion on Health Care Reform that takes the best system in the world and reforms it to be even worse. He can't bring the Iraq War, which Bush won, to a close. He can turn around the Afghanistan war, which has deteriorated since the very day Obama took office. He is a laughing stock around the world. Even the f*kcing Eurotrash are laughing at him now for being weak and ineffective. But you voted for Kerry. Nice.

Won't be long, no one here will claim to have voted for ObamaNation. Amazing how the banking industry went into a depression because of Bush signing all of those bills he wrote and passed without Barney's help isn't it?

Can FLA be far behind? Rise forecast for California house prices in 2010 California house prices may rise in 2010 for the first time in three years as first-time buyers and investors return to the market By Daniel Taub Bloomberg News California house prices may rise in 2010 for the first time in three years as first-time buyers and investors return to the market, the state Association of Realtors said. The median price for detached, single-family homes in the most populous U.S. state likely will rise 3.3 percent to $280,000 next year, the Realtors group said in its annual housing forecast, issued Wednesday. The number of sales will probably drop 2.3 percent to 527,500, following an estimated 23 percent increase this year. "There's this huge demand on the part of first-time buyers and investors," Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the Realtors group, said. "The demand for properties in fairly good condition exceeds the supply." House prices in California fell 38 percent in 2008 and have dropped about 22 percent this year as foreclosed homes have dominated the market, the Realtors group said. Next year likely will "mark the beginning of the 'new normal' for California's housing market," James Liptak, the association's president, said in a statement. California single-family-home prices fell 17 percent from a year earlier in August, the latest month for which figures are available, the group said last month. Sales increased 9 percent from a year earlier. Foreclosed homes accounted for 40 percent of existing-property transactions in California in August, according to research company MDA DataQuick. "You just have to look to the significant decline in prices, and you get a little bump up," Appleton-Young said. "It's coming off these significant contractions. A median of $280,000, which is the forecast for next year, is still pretty affordable." The California Association of Realtors a year ago projected that prices would decline only 6 percent to a median $358,000 this year. That's about 32 percent above the group's revised forecast for this year. The association projected a 13 percent increase in home sales, less than the estimated 23 percent rise this year.
