I’m sure you all remember the Section 8 family that lives year round at a beach resort, 50 yards from the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. I filled you in on this fine upstanding family last summer:

We visited Wildwood this weekend for the 1st time since last September. It was a delightful weekend and a well needed rest. And you’ll be happy to know that the deteriorating economic situation has not affected our Section 8 friends in the condo next door to ours. The 50 something year old patriarch still sits on the deck drinking beer. His 400 pound loudmouth wife is as loud as ever. The teenage dullard appears as slow witted as ever. And the old lady with the walker is still kicking. A myriad of other “family” members paraded in and out of the condo all weekend.
You’ll be happy to know that despite living in Section 8 housing, surely being on food stamps, and most certainly collecting multiple SSDI checks, these poor folk were able to trade in their old car for a 2007 Buick Rendezvous that looks brand new. This is in addition to the truck the old man already drives. Their new vehicle looks like this.
One might wonder how a welfare family where NO ONE works can possibly purchase a $13,000 vehicle. How much do you want to bet that our old friends at Ally Financial were involved in this transaction? When you read about the fantastic auto sales from our fantastic car makers, remember how it is being done. You and I own Ally Financial (78% Federal government ownership). Ally and GM and Obama don’t care if this loan is repaid. They just want a car sale in order to prove the economy is recovering. The people in the condo next door put the SUB in subprime.
So it looks like Obama has this Section 8 household locked up for the 2012 election. No suffering in Section 8 land in Wildwood. Now it’s time for us to leave the shore in our 13 year old minivan. I must be doing something wrong.
