ChiTrib: Detroit's outlook falls along with home prices
Remember, during the housing boom, when Bush was being blamed for the high cost of housing? How it was all his fault that poor people were being denied the opportunity to achieve the American dream?
Why aren't all those asshats flocking to Detroit in droves to soak up the HopenchangeTM that's gotta be flowing through the streets of that "progressive" success story of a city like f***in' milk and honey by now?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't wait for Obama to shove more of that brilliant Kilpatrick-style "leadership" up our collective asspipe.
And, people are wondering why Winchester White Box is in such short supply at their local Wal-mart.
