New home sales plummet to all time low-CNN ('Surprisingly')

• 6/23, CNN: "New home sales plummeted to a record low in May,

the first month following the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit. This snapped a two-month streak of gains."...

• (Two months is a 'STREAK'?)
  

(continuing, CNN): "New home sales declined 32.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 300,000 last month, down from an downwardly revised 446,000 in April, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. Sales year-over-year fell 18.3%.

• This is the slowest sales pace since the Commerce Department began tracking data in 1963.
  

The prior record was set in September 1981, when new homes sold at an annual rate of 338,000.

• "We expected a slowdown, but the extent of this decline was a surprise," said Anika Khan, an economist at Wells Fargo. The figure was even worse than her relatively pessimistic forecast of an annual rate of 380,000 in May.

A consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com had expected May sales to slide to an annual rate of 430,000."...

Obama freely admits refusal to enforce US law. It is the duty of congress to impeach him for this. We are waiting.

• ***6/19, Arizona Senator Jon Kyl related a private conversation

he recently had with Obama, one-on-one in the Oval Office. Kyl was speaking to a North Tempe town hall meeting on June 18, and relates Obama saying why he won't protect the US border. Cold Warrior at RedState.com transcribes Senator Kyl from video as he relates Obama's words:

• "“The problem is, . . . if we secure the border,
  
• then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”

There were gasps in the audience.

• The senator continued (from Red State transcription of video): "“In other words,

• they’re holding it hostage.

They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”"

• He told the group that he reminded the president of his responsibility to secure the border.

The relevant portion of Senator Kyl’s remarks begins at the 3:17 mark of the video.

• (I remain stunned that Kyl hasn't commenced impeachment proceedings. It is his duty to do so, the same as it is Obama's to guard the border. ed.)
