HOUR ONE GUEST: Newsweek's Jonathan Alter on the FISA bill, Obama's position on FISA, etc.

If you are about to be foreclosed on or you think you may be foreclosed on watch the FIRST video below. A report from CNN indicates that if your bank can’t FIND YOUR LOAN DOCUMENTS you may not have to lose your home. 40% of banks CAN’T FIND YOUR LOAN DOCUMENTS.
The Senate is working on a big Housing bill to try to get relief for homeowners facing foreclosures. The bill is being slowly amended and tweaked and generally held up. This may be a procedural way of taking up all the remaining time in the Senate before the July 4th holiday in order to keep FISA off the floor. We’ll see. FISA is on the Senate Schedule for today.
Obama supports the FISA bill and give his explanation below. Do you smell CLINTON all over this? Or does Obama think the FISA Court needs to be brought back into the wiretapping mix? Until they pass a bill into law Warrant less wiretaps are occurring now without any Court oversight. Tough call.
Ralph Nader is an ego maniac who will do anything to get attention. He says Barack Obama talks 'White', doesn’t want to appear to be like Jessie Jackson and is appealing to white guilt. LOSER.
Idiot Bush makes a slur against Philllipine-American workers in front of the PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES who is here trying to get help for Typhoon recovery! LOSER
And the Supreme Court says you have an individual right to own a gun. The DC ban on handguns is lifted. What ever happened to States Rights? Well, DC isn’t a state so screw ‘em.
HOMEWORK
DO NOT ABANDON YOUR PROPERTY AND MOVE OUT – TRY THIS FIRST!! MAKE THE BANK PRODUCE THE LOAN DOCUMENT ‘THE NOTE” BECAUSE 40% OF THE TIME THEY’VE LOST IT AND YOU GET TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE

Senate working on Housing Bill – President Bush will VETO!! Ms. Perino White House SPOKESMODEL reiterated the veto threat citing concern over a provision that would allocate nearly $4 billion in grants to communities with high foreclosure rates to buy and rehabilitate vacant properties.

While the Housing bill is out of committee there are 44 amendments to be considered!
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=a7XizFsn44ME
One Senator is obstructing passage because he wants a tax credit for renewable energy attached and there was an agreement that there would be no amendments unrelated to HOUSING. THIS COULD BE A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT WILL SLOW THE CALENDAR DOWN AND PERHAPS KEEP FISA FROM COMING TO A VOTE

OBAMA STATEMENT ON THIS BILL (JUNE 20TH)
"Under this compromise legislation, an important tool in the fight against terrorism will continue, but the President's illegal program of warrantless surveillance will be over. It restores FISA and existing criminal wiretap statutes as the exclusive means to conduct surveillance -- making it clear that the President cannot circumvent the law and disregard the civil liberties of the American people. It also firmly re-establishes basic judicial oversight over all domestic surveillance in the future. It does, however, grant retroactive immunity, and I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses. But this compromise guarantees a thorough review by the Inspectors General of our national security agencies to determine what took place in the past, and ensures that there will be accountability going forward. By demanding oversight and accountability, a grassroots movement of Americans has helped yield a bill that is far better than the Protect America Act.
"It is not all that I would want. But given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay. So I support the compromise, but do so with a firm pledge that as President, I will carefully monitor the program, review the report by the Inspectors General, and work with the Congress to take any add
