The Washington Post surveys voters in VA about their thoughts on the bailout, and finds many of them resent the idea of having their tax dollars go to bail out either Wall Street or their neighbors who bought homes recklessly-
"I'm not overextended," Merkle said. "I didn't buy a large home that I can't afford. I'm not behind on any of my payments. I'm not sure I want the government to take my tax dollars and buy someone else's house for them."
Given sentiments like this, I'm not sure how wise it is for Obama or Dems in general to push for a "bail out the homeowners" provision...
