Atrios: Still in Denial After All These Years

Arran's Alley

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Bio: I've done everything from recycling to teaching in a pre-school. Most recently I was for 10 years an acting and theater teacher as well as a pallet builder. I read a lot and I'm an old man who remembers the distant past with somewhat more clarity than this morning's breakfast. I've been blogging for a decade and I don't do "light". If you're looking for recipes, self-promoting displays of items made for sale, titillating stories about how I was a pimp for an afternoon, or the beauties of toasters, you've come to the wrong place.

After extensively quoting from a ProPublica report exactly how often the Obama admin rejected the opportunity to add help for homeowners caught in the mortgage/foreclosure trap (otherwise known as cramdown), Atrios winds up by with the usual lib claptrap conclusion: “They fucked up.” No, Duncan, they didn’t. It wasn’t a bug, it was a feature.
