Obama - the good, bad, & ugly

Good: We were able to refinance our mortgage last week, due to the president's home loan refinancing program. It allowed us to secure a lower interest rate without having to pay mortgage insurance, despite the fact that we now own less than 20% of the equity in our home due to the drop in home values.

Bad & Ugly: Perusing other blogs yesterday, I read that Obama's proposed health care policy involves requiring the elderly to receive counseling concerning the cost-to-benefit ratio of their very existence. What happened to 'health care for everyone'? The stipulations are starting to surface. Health care for everyone! - so long as you reside outside of the uterus or your 'quality of life' is deemed acceptable by some subjective standard. Disturbing.
