Best briefing from week 3 of Election 2008

1.) "McCain Reverses Himseof On Mortgage Position"
McCain switch his position about helping pay mortgages of homeowners in danger of losing their homes. McCain stated "There is nothing more important than keeping alive the American dream to own your home, and priority no.1 is to keep well-meaning, deserving homeowners who are facing foreclosure in their homes." He says he understands the rough times that America is going through. McCain has devised a new mortgage plan designed for needy homeowners- applying to people who could show they would be able to meet the terms of a new, 30-year fixed rate mortgage. It is planned to help 200,000 to 400,000 homeowners. The opposing candidates, Clinton and Obama, both dismissed what statements McCain had made. Obama asserted "I'm glad he's finally offered a plan. Better late than never...But don't expect any real answers. Dont expect it to actually help struggling families..."

Here is my post for week three...

-Clinton believes that Iraq troops should begin withdrawing from Iraq but that a limited amount of troops should stay to insure stability. Obama wants to have the troops out of Iraq by 2009 but also keep some troops there in case al-Qaida strikes up. Where as McCain wants to keeps troops in Iraq till US security goals are achieved
