Superheroes and Housing


And now, the superheroes shall comment on the candidates' housing platforms, and give a point for Obama, Romney or Undecided. Once again, some of these statements are direct or expanded quotes. Try to figure out which ones in the comments!



"It's when buildings get abandoned and dilapidated that the criminal move in. Obama's efforts to get this kinds of buildings repaired and productive are exactly what's needed to keep the criminals from developing foot holds."
Point for: Obama


"Obama's plans to help the people who've acted responsibly with their housing is noble. Romney doesn't seem to have any plans to help those people, so I don't have any plans to help him."
Point for: Obama


"Romney's plan sounds a lot like Obama's, but that wasn't Romney's first plan, and I wonder if Romney really means it."
Point for: Obama


Shadowcat
"I don't think Romney understands that all the new housing rules and regulations are being put in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening again."
Point for: Obama



"Everybody needs a place to call home. Obama's been trying to help that along, and he's been doing a good enough job as far as I can tell to let him keep doing it."
Point for: Obama


"Romney's desire to let the private holders take control of the housing market is troubling, since there would be nothing to prevent them from doing what they did before that caused the problem in the first place."
Point for: Obama


Spider-Girl  
"Romney says that Obama hasn't been helping the economy, but Obama has pulled us up out of the nose dive Bush sent us into, and he can only keep pulling us up if we stick with him."
Point for: Obama


"Every child needs a roof over their head. As someone who grew up with out one, I can tell you how much of a difference it makes. Obama's already save millions of homes and millions of children. I want to help him save more."
Point for: Obama


"Where you live affects how you live, and President Obama's plan to make it easier for more people to live in better houses is what we need."
Point for: Obama


"It ain't right for other people to go taking what you worked so hard to build, especially if it's your home, so we need to work together to protect them, not just stand by and let them."
Point for: Obama
Mr. Incredible
"A good home help makes a good family. Romney doesn't seem to get that."
Point for: Obama


"Everyone is deserving of a loving home. Given that Romney was willing to allow homes to be foreclosed upon at one point, and might do so again, I can't in good faith support him."
Point for: Obama


"Romney seems to quite conveniently forget that he's been part of the Republican block that stood in direct opposition of anything the Obama administration has proposed, and the reason Obama's had to split up his housing programs so that some progress could be made."
Point for: Obama


"I can't say I can really tell the difference between the two's plans."
Point for: Undecided


Linda Park-West
"It's good that Romney recognizes that the housing crisis was a predictable disaster, now if only he'd recognize that it was Republicans that ignored the predictions."
Point for: Obama


The Savage Dragon
"Obama's been doing a good job so far, we just need to get those Republicans to stop blocking things from going forward."
Point for: Obama


"Listening to Romney's plans, it sounds like he just wants to dump the foreclosed houses on to the market as quickly as possible, and I don't think a quick and easy approach will work.
Point for: Obama


"Protecting people from losing their homes is what we do, even if it's usually from a supervillian, so if the best way I can help is to help Obama keep doing what he's doing, than that's what I'm going to do."
Point for: Obama.


"Romney seems to want to set things back to the way they were under Bush. I don't see any good coming from that."
Point for: Obama


"Letting houses be unjustly foreclosed like Romney wants just forces people into poor living conditions like slums, and slums create criminals, so having good living conditions is essential to the safety of the citizens."
Point for: Obama

And so Obama takes what is actually the second last round before the final count, which will be right before the election, which is less than 3 weeks away!

At any rate, do any of you agree with the superheroes' comments? If you think any of the heroes have been misrepresented, let me know in the comments!
