Obama Will Not Sign Bill Seen As Cover For Bank Foreclosures
First Posted: 10- 7-10 10:37 AM | Updated: 10- 7-10 01:48 PM

UPDATE: The White House announced Thursday afternoon that President Obama would not sign a bill that some consumer advocates worried would make it more difficult for homeowners to fight fraudulent foreclosures.

The White House noted that the bill was designed to ease restrictions on interstate commerce. "While we share this goal, we believe it is necessary to have further deliberations about the intended and unintended impact of this bill on consumer protections, including those for mortgages, before this bill can be finalized.

Can't you wait until he actually DOES something you don't like before condemning him on what he MIGHT do? It's only fair.

4. Not much assuming there, mostly venting at Congress

especially the Senate. Righly so - they did it.

No need to stir up a storm.

Obama did great!

tons of misinformation regarding pocket vetoes and "yet another Obama betrayal" crapola.

7. My TeaBaggy cousins are like that...

Dreadful.

12. Has it ever occurred to anyone that the President prefers

to ask for reconsideration (at least one of the sponsors has agreed to that) to provide foreclosure protection but still give improved interstate trade. If it comes out again unamended then he can veto it.
