He keeps on sending me these viral emails from his right-wing business buddies, and I keep on sending him snopes links debunking them. But he doesn't seem to learn. He WANTS to believe so bad.

He's all upset because the housing crash caught him over-leveraged, owning more underwater properties than he could give away, and with his cash clients all failing to meet their mortgage obligations. He's stuck with his tit in a wringer, and now he is desperate to blame Obama, and I just tell him,

"But Bro, you're the mortgage broker, didn't you see any of this coming?"

Now, finally, things are starting to look up for him, after spending the last 3 years driving a delivery truck for Nissan, re-financing his house and living off his wife's earnings. When I ask him if it was maybe Obama's doing, he replies,

"Definitely not, the market would have picked up sooner or later anyway."

Idiot wind blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We're idiots babe
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

Bob Dylan
