Help Homeowners... or Harry?

President in Vegas unveils $1.5B in housing help, but is also out to help senators like Harry Reid protect seats

(Fox News) - President Obama, continuing what some are calling the "Save the Senators" tour, opened his latest town hall meeting out West by praising Senate Majority Leader Reid, a top target of Republicans in the 2010 elections.

"I know it's tough out there. Harry Reid knows it's tough out there. That's why we asked you to send us to Washington," Obama said. "We ran to solve problems that folks like you are facing every day. That's why Harry wanted to be majority leader and that's why I wanted to be president."

Obama also unveiled $1.5 billion in housing help to finance agencies in the five hardest-hit states in the housing crisis -- Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada -- a boost timed to his appearance in the city with the worst foreclosure crisis in the nation.
