Foreclosure Crisis Is Major Challenge For New Administration While Stripteasing Teacher May Solve The Dropout Rate!


Hey Mr. President elect, I know you are doing all you can, to help your fellow man. But I am out of work. I need a job I'm out of work. That seems to be the tune being sung across the country. Let's strip away all the myths and deal with the facts. The ramifications of a struggling economy are beginning to become apparent. Another 84,868 homes were lost to foreclosure in October, according to today's report. Last month 279,561 borrowers received foreclosure filings according to RealtyTrac. That's a 5% increase from September, and up 25% from October 2007. A total of 936,439 homes have been lost to foreclosure since August, 2007.

Some states have adopted legislation to freeze foreclosures and give homeowners a chance to modify their mortgages. This has slowed the rate of foreclosures. However, there are still 25% more foreclosures this year when compared to last year.

Almost any given day there is a story about job layoffs or plant closing. So, Mr. President Elect it will soon be your move. Hope you have a real plan...

Here is one author's suggestion: How Obama should fix the economy

And while President Obama is at it, perhaps he can solve the drop out rate too. Surfer Dude says that if more teachers were like this Hungarian Teacher in the video, the drop out rate among young males would decline. Apparently some Hungarian teens played a game of Truth or Dare with their teacher. She decided to keep their interest with her rendition of a striptease. Parents were rightfully upset, but the local education officials have no plans to fire her. Her class attendance rate is nearly 100%. video of the incident (SFW).

What you did with this article is why Legal Pub remains number one!

Next time lead with the teacher story, then try to teach us the legal/political crap after you got our attention.

Wow, that teacher was hot. I was hoping she would not stop. But I am glad she did. No reason to fire her now. Heck I would gladly attend all of her classes just hoping for a repeat performance.

My mouth is hanging open in disbelief!

It looked like she was in a gym. And the spectators didn’t seem to mind that she was stripping.

Scary is right!!!

She better be glad she's not in the states. Her *ss would have been fired and cuffed!

As for the mortgage crisis. Our monetary system and corporate profit mongers are to blame for that. The Venus Project is our only hope.
