I just shake my head when I read stories about idiots like this... but then I get angry when I hear about gubment plans to bail out these fools.

You should be angry.
The government isn’t bailing them out.
WE ARE.
No more “compassionate” conservatives.
Man... how stupid can a person be and still live?
This one should be made into a country/western song. It would top the charts.
Sad story about her son. But some people are too stupid to own a house. I bet dollars to donuts she *knew* she was signing the house over to her (cough) fiancee. It just adds to the drama by saying she didn’t know. Victim mentality.
This reads like my sister’s life. Has about as much sense as a sack of hammers.
Wow to her story. This is the type of person though that could win millions of dollars in the lottery and in the end have nothing to show for it. Maybe Oprah and Dr. Phil can pitch in to get her a new house. Better yet President Obama, Clinton, or Edwards will have us all pitch in to get her a new one.
Notice, it was her ‘fiance’ and his friend the lender that screwed this woman....What ‘they’ do to themselves is totally obscene when it comes to money dealings. There was a female lawyer in DC that was involved in getting homes from her clients, getting them condemned, her boyfriend would buy them up, they would remodel and sell for a hell of a profit....then all these storefront home improvement lenders, screwing the people in their own neighborhoods.
Yet WE get to bail the victims out and the ‘government’ wants the credit...
VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT
It also adds to the dollars that will start flowing in from people after reading her story that feel sorry for her. I betcha she gets another house.
Government education bearing its fruit...
9th grade dropout explains it. Missed out on the HS economics class that teaches people how to balance checkbooks, have a budget, and...
oh wait a minute, that was when I went to school...
well then again, she’s 39, so perhaps she would have gotten it...
...and...how to save/invest.
This looks like a problem that began at least 20 years ago.

There is nothing surprising or unusual about this story.
Sad about her son: Dontrae, 10, drowned in a swimming accident at a church-sponsored camp.
What do you want to bet this was a church program for underprivileged kids, which is no longer in operation.
She is “not suited to home ownership”? But she IS suited to vote?
Reminds me of the Left’s claim that democracy isn’t for everybody.
Home ownership is for everyone. Unless they are living a nomadic existence. Paying monthly rent with no deduction for residence or established investment is a con in and of itself.
And states gouging home owners with higher and higher tax appraisals isn’t helping.
A man’s home is his castle.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Just because a man is a fool does not mean that he should live as a slave in a shack on someone else’s plantation his whole life.
Heard a newsbrief that the President is urging a new plan to teach Americans about investment and personal finance.
Sounds too much like trying to let them know about personal responsibility. With a safety net.
Meanwhile our latest “tax rebate” will be going to people who pay no taxes. Can I get a rebate from Ford when I never bought one of their cars?
Nookin fah Nub in all the wong pwaces.
She never envisioned being homeless.
I'm having problems envisioning a 39-year old grandmother of five.
She was a teenage mom and so was her daughter. Apple never falls far from the tree when it comes to the cycle of irresponsibility and idiocy.
