Yeah let's vote for the guy who insisted there was no housing bubble. With this kind of economic foresight, the situation will surely get better.

I wish that was all. Its not. You could write a book just on how poor the coverage has been of the alleged housing bubble. The media have been foretelling a massive bust in housing prices for months now. On May 19, ABCs Elizabeth Vargas said: The run up in housing prices is now beginning to look something like the boom in Internet stocks, and we know what happened there. That kind of ignorance makes homeowners fear that their most expensive possession could turn worthless overnight.
As you noted, he even said right here that many in the media have been foretelling about the housing bubble while he insisted there was no such bubble. The guy is just a Wall Street shill, no wonder he opposes the "occupy Wall Street" movement. He's part of the group of guys that have been helping pumping house prices for the benefit of his banksters buddies so with him, expect more banks bailouts, mark to fantasy and other frauds from banks (not that the current republicans/democrats are any better in this regard).
For more info in mark to fantasy btw:
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?allowing banks to put their own values for their assets which resulted in those kinds of things:
http://www2.fdic.gov/hsob/hsobRpt.aspTo get the interesting results, you need after clicking on the links to go to "Failures & Assistance Transactions", select the years between 2009 and 2011 and submit report.
The number are in thousands of dollars meaning that when they write 100,000 , it means 100 millions.
You can see there that the 239,916 in total assets for FIRST INTERNATIONAL BANK corresponds to $239.9 million in total assets in the press report :
http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2011/pr11156.htmlScrolling down on the table that you produced shows you that for 243,738,872,000 dollars in deposits in failed banks (and insured by the FDIC), the FDIC incured a loss of 61,302,707,000 dollars despite the value of assets used to reimburse the depositors claimed at 292,529,467,000 dollars. What it means that the assets actually sold at 243,738,872,000-61,302,707,000=182,436,165,000 dollars resulting in the overevaluation of the assets at around (292,529,467,000/182,436,165,000)-1=60%!!
Notice that I got those results from the FDIC's official site, so I think it should be pretty accurate.
