I have been in the mortgage lending business for 35 years and it is typical for bankers and mortgage lenders to offer loans at discounted rates to high profile people such as sports figures, actors, lawyers, and even newspaper editors and even reporters very competitive rates. In addition, it is also typical for those people that are agressive enough to ask for a lower rate or to waive a fee for bankers to consider it and even grant their request. What do you think private bankers do? they offer VIP treatment to high balance customers or potential customers. The story about Obama"s mortgage is boring and misleading. There is no market for super jumbo loans in order to compare Obamas rate. The banik has the perfect right to set the rate and Obama has the right to negotiate a lower rate just like any other American citizen. Please stop creating news! Just report it! This artiicle implies that Obama did something wrong. The only thing that is wrong is that the Press is out of control Go sell used cars and see if people will negotiate. Don't newspaper people get their training selling used cars!

Another thought - this is a copycat attack to make Obama consider his FISA position carefully, just the same way the similar story was used to smear Chris Dodd into silence.

Sounds like the idiot who wrote the piece hasn't got a clue how home loans work.

If I had that sort of money I would have gotten an operation and been a lesbian Brazilian pornstar by now.

Really? This guy had that much money and no escape hatch plan?

I did this myself on Facebook so I'd be able to bring people's xenophobia to the surface. Also the idea of people being terrified about a stealth Muslim invasion is absolutely hilarious -- they need to get a grip.

That we don't even have a suspect 7 freaking years after the fact is an abomination, for someone who used weaponized anthrax against the American people to be walking around a free man... the Bush DOJ has been an embarrassment in every way possible.

Every time Bush says there hasn't been a terrorist attack since 9/11 I want to punch a wall.

My ass the DOJ is even investigating it anymore.

So I guess this quote beat the exchange of "Al-Qaeda is watching CSPAN" and Delahunt's response of "Well if they are watching they know who you are now".

Barnacles can be sharp and a pain in the ass I must say!
