and point to "root causes" of this financial calamity we are facing. The real problem (someone should write a Harvard Business Case on the mortgage fraud model at ground zero in South Florida), was not the good intentions of trying to increase home ownership, although as we know not every homo sapien walking upright on this planet has a "right to own a home", but must work for it like everyone else, BUT was the LACK OF OVERSIGHT that occurred during THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. I can assure you if Bill was in the big house during this timeframe this shxt NEVER would have played out the way it had....nor would it have happened if Mr. Obama, our next President of the United States of America, was on watch.
The silver lining here is I heard from a credible FBI friend that there are dozens of agents down here arresting dozens of mortgage brokers (including the kids that were zipping down Brickell avenue in there Testarosas...) on a daily basis.
Oh year, I forgot, "now is not the time to fix the blame, but now is the time to fix the problem".....ship what's her name back to gaurd the coast of alaska, and good OLD john out to pasture...I have a lot of respect for the man and he has seen more in his life than probably a dozen of us from this forum ever will, but he clearly doesn't have it in him. Its too bad the Republicans couldn't come up with a younger, more vibrant candidate of their own, then we might have a race over the next month...which is clearly not going to happen.
Sorry, I promised some of the forum members I would only preach fishing on this forum, but couldn't resist on this one.
Tight Lines,

ps Fish Report: we killed the large yellowtail (apparently they have been spawning late this year" up to true 5#ers over the weekend, along with a mess of BIG permit, and some mangroves, on the wrecks at night down off Key Largo. Catch em up boys.
