Cong. Bobby Rush no longer facing double foreclosure

Well, for now, Bobby Rush's foreclosure problems seem to be over.

From today's Chicago Sun-Times:

Just as quickly as they were filed, a pair of mortgage foreclosures against Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) have been "resolved."

Rush was just days from losing his Michigan condo and was also facing being kicked out of his Chicago home because he hadn't been paying his monthly mortgage.

But in an e-mail, a spokeswoman for Washington Mutual said "we consider the situation with Congressman Rush's mortgage to be resolved."

Likewise, a Michigan lawyer -- set to sell Rush's condo on the steps of a courthouse Thursday -- indicated the foreclosure action there "has been closed."

Cook County records show a series of liens have been filed against the Rush family home in the 3500 block of South Calumet, including federal tax liens. Legal notices show his Buchanan, Mich., condo -- in a private, gated community about 25 miles from Lake Michigan -- has twice been the subject of foreclosure actions this year.

I'm still troubled by this guy managing the money of our nation.
