Incompetent Boob's Plan Failing (Part 79,239)

clipped from www.politico.com The Obama administration’s $50 billion program to curb foreclosures isn’t working, and the White House knows it. Administration officials blame the mortgage servicers charged with carrying out the mortgage modifications and refinancing under the federal program. Many of their Democratic allies on Capitol Hill back them up, but others are criticizing the White House for fumbling the execution. Whatever the reason, the program hasn’t stopped the rising tide of foreclosures: Experts predict that at least another 2 million homes will be lost this year, and the administration’s plan has so far reached only about 160,000 of the 3 million to 4 million homes it was supposed to protect over the next three years. That’s bad news for the economy — and bad news for the Democrats. The Democrats’ political and policy fortunes rest on their ability to persuade voters that they’re fixing the economy.
