Saturday, February 4, 2012
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been traveling around the country and talking with folksabout my blueprint for an economy built to last. It’s a blueprint that focuses on restoring the
things we’ve always done best. Our strengths. American manufacturing. Americanenergy. The skills and education of American workers.
And most importantly, American values like fairness and responsibility.
We know what happened when we strayed from those values over the past decade – especiallywhen it comes to our housing market.
Lenders sold loans to families who couldn’t afford them. Banks packaged those mortgages upand traded them for phony profits. It drove up prices and created an unsustainable bubble thatburst – and left millions of families who did everything right in a world of hurt.
It was wrong. The housing crisis has been the single biggest drag on our recovery from therecession. It has kept millions of families in debt and unable to spend, and it has left hundreds of thousands of construction workers out of a job.
But there’s something even more important at stake. I’ve been saying this is a make-or-break moment for the middle class. And the housing crisis struck right at the heart of what it means tobe middle-class in this country: owning a home. Raising our kids. Building our dreams.
Right now, there are more than 10 million homeowners in this country who, because of a declinein home prices that is no fault of their own, owe more on their mortgages than their homes areworth. Now, it is wrong for anyone to suggest that the only option for struggling, responsiblehomeowners is to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom. I don’t accept that. None of us should.
That’s why we launched a plan a couple years ago that’s helped nearly one million responsiblehomeowners refinance their mortgages and save an average of $300 on their payments eachmonth. Now, I’ll be the first to admit it didn’t help as many folks as we’d hoped. But thatdoesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep trying.
That’s why I’m sending Congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner the chanceto save about $3,000 a year on their mortgages by refinancing at historically low rates. No more

red tape. No more endless forms. And a small fee on the largest financial institutions will makesure it doesn’t add a dime to the deficit.
I want to be clear: this plan will not help folks who bought a house they couldn’t afford and then
walked away from it. It won’t help folks who bought multiple houses just to turn around and sell
them.
What this plan will do is help millions of responsible homeowners who make their paymentsevery month, but who, until now, couldn’t refinance because their home values kept dropping or they got wrapped up in too much red tape.
But here’s the catch. In order to lower mortgage payments for millions of Americans, we needCongress to act. They’re the ones who have to pass this plan. And as anyone who has followedthe news in the last six months can tell you, getting Congress to do anything these days is not aneasy job.
That’s why I’m going to keep up the pressure on Congress to do the right thing. But I also needyour help. I need your voice. I need everyone who agrees with this plan to get on the phone,send an email, tweet, pay a visit, and remind your representatives in Washington who they work for. Tell them to pass this plan. Tell them to help more families keep their homes, and moreneighborhoods stay vibrant and whole.
The truth is, it will take time for our housing market to recover. It will take time for oureconomy to fully bounce back. But there are steps we can take, right now, to move this countryforward. That’s what I promise to do as your President, and I hope Members of Congress will
join me.
Thank you, and have a great weekend.

When couple refers to two partners or married people, it may be treated as s ingular or
plural, depending on whether the couple acts as a single unit or as two separate people
within the relationship: The couple wants to be married before the end of the year. The
couple have not reconciled, and continue to live apart. However, if a pronoun refers to
couple, it is almost always plural (they, them, their ), and so the verb should be plural as
well: The couple have [not has] repeatedly asked that their privacy be respected. In other
uses, couple is often followed by of and a plural noun, in which case it is treated as plural: A
couple of books were on the table. In informal uses the strict sense of "two" may be
expanded to "several." The use of couple without of in such contexts (I bought a couple
CDs.) is increasingly heard but should be avoided in formal writing.

That’s why I’m going to keep up the pressure on Congress to do the right thing. But I also needyour help. I need your voice. I need everyone who agrees with this plan to get on the phone,send an email, tweet, pay a visit, and remind your representatives in Washington who they work for. Tell them to pass this plan. Tell them to help more families keep their homes, and more
neighborhoods stay vibrant and whole.
The truth is, it will take time for our housing market to recover. It will take time for oureconomy to fully bounce back. But there are steps we can take, right now, to move this countryforward. That’s what I promise to do as your President, and I hope Members of Congress will join me.
