Bush Gives Wrong Phone Number for Subprime Mortgage Bailout Hotline

December 7th, 2007

Fire up the calliope music.

Via: CNN:

Harried homeowners seeking mortgage relief from a new Bush administration hotline Thursday had to contend with a bit of temporary misdirection from the president himself.

As he announced his plan to ease the mortgage crisis for consumers, President Bush accidentally gave out the wrong phone number for the new “Hope Now Hotline” set up by his administration.

Anyone who dialed 1-800-995-HOPE did not reach the mortgage hotline but instead contacted the Freedom Christian Academy — a Texas-based group that provides Christian education home schooling material.

    I’ve read elsewhere on the Internet that the proposed bailout will only help a relatively small percentage of people who are holding dodgy mortgages. Here’s some lengthy and comprehensive commentary from another website, that I recommend that regular readers here bookmark or favorite:
