And if they tried to push rental properties, they would probably try to enact rent control laws and 5, 10 years from now wonder why no one is building apartments anymore. If they want to increase rental units, have all the cities that have rent control laws repeal those laws because they do the exact opposite of what they're intended to do.
Obama also said the other day that a strong press needs to exist along with a government or some crap like that. Hmm, wonder why he said that. Maybe because the media loves him and doesn't report much of the bad stuff that happens to him. Plus, he's a democrat, the media is a prostitution ring with their niche clientele being democrats. Newspapers are looking into receiving TARP monies. I don't think the government can give the press any money as they would run into First Amendment issues.
