35. Yes! most certainly I'm better off now. . .

Tue Sep 4, 2012, 08:34 PM

Sep 2012

Thanks to Obama's 'Making Home Affordable' initiative - I'm still in my home with a hard fought for mortgage modification. It wasn't easy, took 2 years, went through two rounds of legal foreclosure proceedings (both now dismissed without prejudice) - all thanks to the bank's inability to both play fair AND get things done in any kind of logical manner - but I finally just recently closed on a modification. It would NOT have happened without Obama. I would have lost this beloved house. There certainly would not have been any help under either Macain or Romney. Thank you President Obama! I wish I could shout it to the world! Have never posted to a blog before, this is the first step towards getting my voice out there as to why, YES, I AM BETTER OFF NOW than four years ago, as many people are, when a good life was sliding into hell, all thanks to the irresponsibility of a Republican administration. Hallelujia there was a change at the helm, who knows where we would be otherwise, I don't even want to think about it.
