109. It's FAR bigger than Obama

Sun Jan 15, 2012, 07:24 PM

Jan 2012

This didn't start with Obama, and it won't end with his re-election, either. We need to raise consciousness about the issues facing our nation and that is beyond Party-A and Party-B. The discourse needs to change from that of being an opportunist-inclined nation to that of one that cares about everyone in our nation, and not at the expense of the most needy.

Changing the discourse doesn't happen in a battle between politician A and politician B. It happens when everyone in the nation starts talking about issues. That's where movements begin, after all, and that's when politicians, political parties, and debates refocus on what is important to the American people.

I agree Broderick Jan 2012 #1

Agree! "This is pretty fucked up." RKP5637 Jan 2012 #2

Who To Believe? cantbeserious Jan 2012 #3

Is there another side to the story you can present? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #4

Good question Broderick Jan 2012 #5

Sure Aerows Jan 2012 #30

If you need time to find some actual facts, just say so. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #32

YOU posted it Aerows Jan 2012 #41

I just ran the article on the google nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #59

So you are categorically saying the story is false? hack89 Jan 2012 #62

No actually what I did is dig deep nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #65

And I will have to simply take your word for it? Don't think so. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #137

Why not? jberryhill Jan 2012 #145

Nadine is arguing secret knowledge she appears to be reluctant to share hack89 Jan 2012 #148

You are asking me about someone else's behavior? jberryhill Jan 2012 #157

Cerridwen has document that BoA bought his mortgage the year before he started foreclosure. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #179

Cerridwen has a document that alliance mortgage bought Cerridwen Jan 2012 #183

Don't take mine nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #161

Cerridwen confirmed what BoA said - they hold his mortgage. hack89 Jan 2012 #176

Hence, let's connect dots here very slowly, LEGALLY this guy nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #177

But we are talking about a small 2nd mortgage. Lets talk about the large first mortgage. hack89 Jan 2012 #194

As I said, bye nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #196

So now the mortgage is not important? Got it. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #198

What part of he does not own title or have claim nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #201

Not according to the official records hack89 Jan 2012 #202

and public records say otherwise nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #203

I linked to the 2 public records that Cerridwen conveniently overlooked. hack89 Jan 2012 #204

alliance purchased it in October of 2008. Cerridwen Jan 2012 #185

I notice you are not talking about the 1st mortgage for $339,000. Why is that? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #190

He purchased the property for $440,000.. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #238

OWS is right - once someone is fucked by the big banks they simply need to accept their fate. hack89 Jan 2012 #239

How was he fucked by the big banks? girl gone mad Jan 2012 #241

So OWS made a hard-nosed, pragmatic decision that the guy did not deserve his house back? hack89 Jan 2012 #244

They will be damned if they do and damned if they don't, in your eyes. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #246

He appears to be the legal owner of the house - that counts for nothing in OWS eyes? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #248

If Ahadzi is the legal owner of the house, he will not be for long. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #250

OWS is lousy with tactics. randome Jan 2012 #251

So OWS only fights for certain types of people? How do you get on their list? hack89 Jan 2012 #252

LMFO... but you'll take the word of the NY Post... SomethingFishy Jan 2012 #174

"But word of advise" - you meant "But word of advice" (You got good editors right?) snooper2 Jan 2012 #243

This is why movements need leaders. Joe the Revelator Jan 2012 #6

I knew who posted this before I even opened it Aerows Jan 2012 #7

So you support what OWS did to this man? hack89 Jan 2012 #8

It's not a smear Aerows Jan 2012 #22

I think OWS is pissing away the opportunity of a lifetime hack89 Jan 2012 #29

So you post stuff from a right wing site to convince democrats? Aerows Jan 2012 #33

Feel free to post some actual facts anytime now. You are starting to flail a little. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #40

LOL Aerows Jan 2012 #42

Seriously, do you have any facts to back up your view that this isn't fucked up by OWS? Joe the Revelator Jan 2012 #63

Yes, there are facts within the story itself jberryhill Jan 2012 #70

It doesn't tell the whole story Aerows Jan 2012 #74

The key tip-off is in the story itself jberryhill Jan 2012 #78

Yep Aerows Jan 2012 #93

The key tip-off for me is the venue (NY Post), a Murdoch coalition_unwilling Jan 2012 #113

Hmm....thanks for the heads-up. AverageJoe90 Jan 2012 #120

fact have been posted by several people here nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #75

I don't think anyone has facts based upon Aerows Jan 2012 #77

If you think that's what OWS should be doing, you don't understand OWS. Zhade Jan 2012 #58

So should OWS actively oppose the reelection of President Obama? hack89 Jan 2012 #60

Show me evidence they are doing that. nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #79

Look at the post I am replying to. Obama is part of that corrupt system is he not? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #101

It's FAR bigger than Obama Aerows Jan 2012 #109

I know you really are having a problem with this non partisan shit nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #114

We have a problem because that "non partisan shit" is just shit. TheWraith Jan 2012 #116

It's not "shit" Aerows Jan 2012 #118

I can certainly understand why partisans (on both sides) may feel this way nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #129

So you support the idea of OWS as "a direct challenge" to the Obama presidency? hack89 Jan 2012 #154

They are challenging the system... it is much bigger than Obama nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #159

So when push comes to shove in a close election, we can count on OWS to help? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #163

You can count on INDIVIDUALS nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #169

Kind of ironic that you would make such a statement on MLK day. girl gone mad Jan 2012 #215

You would have to admit that that your argument heavily relies on sharing TheKentuckian Jan 2012 #253

So they are useless to those of us working to get President Obama reelected. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #132

Actually they are not useless nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #160

But they will never actively oppose us? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #164

They will oppose you in the same extend they will oppose Romney nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #170

So they will never Mic Check Obama. Good - so they are sort of partisan. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #175

You are late to that party nadinbrzezinski Jan 2012 #178

It's not a relevant question Aerows Jan 2012 #81

So those of those who are partisan Democrats - what does OWS mean to us? hack89 Jan 2012 #104

Not as members of OWS Aerows Jan 2012 #107

OWS will help simply by spreading a pro-99% message. joshcryer Jan 2012 #110

exactly Aerows Jan 2012 #122

Well... Thanks For Being Blunt... But If The Democratic Candidates/Party Want The Support Of OWS... WillyT Jan 2012 #123

I'm not anti-OWS at all. I think it's important we know stuff like the OP riderinthestorm Jan 2012 #10

It's a Murdoch publication Aerows Jan 2012 #26

Reading the rest of the thread has certainly provided a lot more to mull over. You're right. riderinthestorm Jan 2012 #52

So, in other words... Spazito Jan 2012 #36

Um, no Aerows Jan 2012 #37

You cannot prove a negative obamanut2012 Jan 2012 #106

You will simply find another reason to not accept it - it is a clear pattern on OWS threads. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #131

Why don't you wait until you have a non scandal rag source? RedCloud Jan 2012 #130

I also ran a search for "Wise Ahadzi" - every single link ultimately goes back to right-wing sources Hugabear Jan 2012 #188

"The spin also stinks. " Aerows Jan 2012 #44

Why do you think OWS didn't support him though? hack89 Jan 2012 #45

The whole NY Post article Aerows Jan 2012 #46

First, the idea that a political activist Cerridwen Jan 2012 #47

He may have. Perhaps he was desperate and felt he had no other options hack89 Jan 2012 #48

I agree. That could very well be a reason; Cerridwen Jan 2012 #50

I thing he is simply angry that OWS is refusing to fight for him and his rights. hack89 Jan 2012 #51

Hell, I can think of tons of answers for Cerridwen Jan 2012 #53

"refusing to fight for him" jberryhill Jan 2012 #72

"Bank of America ... confirmed to the Post that he is still the rightful owner." hack89 Jan 2012 #135

You missed a clear bullshit line in the story jberryhill Jan 2012 #76

Bank of America says he is the legal owner. hack89 Jan 2012 #136

Bank of America is not the county title office jberryhill Jan 2012 #139

Not sure, but is a bank always the title owner Broderick Jan 2012 #140

No jberryhill Jan 2012 #142

ok Broderick Jan 2012 #143

That simply shows the mortgage was sold to another mortgage company - happens all the time hack89 Jan 2012 #151

Again, I'll ask, was your name removed each time the mortgage Cerridwen Jan 2012 #187

Since no "ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE" document was generated, I suspect you are wrong about this. hack89 Jan 2012 #197

Where is the evidence that he sought support from OWS? girl gone mad Jan 2012 #216

Why do you think the "homeless family" is not living in the house? hack89 Jan 2012 #220

A source that shows that BoA owns his mortgage? hack89 Jan 2012 #166

Naw. He's just going to serve out so many one-liners I don't have time to keep up. Cerridwen Jan 2012 #193

You are the one who completely missed the 1st mortgage on the property or the deed. hack89 Jan 2012 #200

Two different documents - the second simply shows that the mortage was sold hack89 Jan 2012 #149

Was your name removed from the Cerridwen Jan 2012 #155

So you have documented a routine mortgage transfer hack89 Jan 2012 #153

I'm not sure why you replied to Cerridwen Jan 2012 #156

They are two seperate types of document hack89 Jan 2012 #158

Actually, the bank does buy the mortgage Cerridwen Jan 2012 #165

But you showed that BoA purchased the mortgage before they started forclosure. hack89 Jan 2012 #172

So which is it? The bank doesn't buy mortgages Cerridwen Jan 2012 #181

Technically, BoA purchased the rights to service the mortgage. hack89 Jan 2012 #192

BTW - guess who owns COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #162

Countrywide was taken over by BofA. Cerridwen Jan 2012 #167

So you just confirmed that he has a active mortgage held by BoA. Thanks. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #173

Nope...unless alliance banking corp is BofA. Cerridwen Jan 2012 #180

Shall we review the legal responsibilities of 2nd party mortgage servicers? hack89 Jan 2012 #189

So you're saying BofA owns the home and not Mr. Ahadzi? Cerridwen Jan 2012 #195

No - there was no transfer of title or deed. At least none that you can find. hack89 Jan 2012 #199
