FORECLOSURE: It's really vote-buying

On the Sunday AP story about the $25B settlement over GOV. CAUSED FORECLOSURE ABUSES.

The robosigning scandals are now history as the U.S. announces $26 billion foreclosure settlement with the big banks:

$26 BILLION FORECLOSURE SETTLEMENT ANNOUNCED IN WASHINGTON

FORECLOSURE ACCORD RESOLVES 16-MONTH ROBO-SIGNING INVESTIGATION

FORECLOSURE ACCORD IS SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY FEDERAL JUDGE

FORECLOSURE DEAL PRESERVES U.S., STATE RIGHTS TO OTHER CLAIMS

FORECLOSURE ACCORD COULD CLIMB TO $40 BILLION IF 14 SERVICERS JOIN

For those who don't understand what just happened, U.S. banks just funded Obama's re-election campaign to the tune of $26-40 billion.

In other words, got foreclosed on for being unable to make payments? YOU GET $2,000!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you buy an election using taxpayer money.
