Weekly Address: Congress Should Join the President to Help Responsible Homeowners

Saturday, October 20, 2012   Weekly Address: Congress Should Join the President to Help Responsible Homeowners  President Obama urges Congress to act to build on the momentum we are seeing in the housing market by helping responsible homeowners refinance, saving $3000 a year. Construction workers are building new homes at the fastest pace in more than four years, home values are rising, and foreclosure filings are at the lowest point since the housing bubble burst five years ago. The steps that the President has already taken have given hundreds of thousands of Americans with high-interest loans the chance to take advantage of the low rates, and the President is calling on Congress to act to help millions more. Watch President Obama's weekly address. Photo of the Day  Today, October 20th, is the final public White House Garden Tour for this year. As part of the event, we invited 50 of our followers on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ for their own "social" tour -- members of the public tour shared their photos on social media as well. Here's one of our favorite photos from yesterday's tour: President Barack Obama waves from the Colonnade to visitors as they tour the White House grounds and gardens, Oct. 19, 2012. Members of the public were invited to tour the grounds as part of the 2012 White House Fall Garden Tours.
