CNN Money/Fortune Interview with David Lereah:
"Mr. Real Estate: 'All systems go, pockets of pain'"

Q: You've been accused by the blog David Lereah Watch of being too bullish. What's it like to have an online antagonist?

A: [DL]"At first I was kind of laughing. And now, it's enough already. This is a 26-year old that could not afford a townhouse and blamed it on the boom. And then he said, Who's talking about the boom and my name kept coming up. So I became Satan to him.

"The worst was that my mother read one of those things, and she almost started crying. And I had to say, Mom, you have to have thick skin. I'm going to be in the public and make statements about real estate, and if someone doesn't like what I'm saying, they have every right to say something opposing me.

"Now should they go so far as to call me Satan? I don't understand where that's coming from. That's just weird."

Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but this makes my blood boil! Comparing America's favorite Champion of the American Dream and recipient of the... uh, Homeownerhip trophy thingy... to the Devil!! And practically making his grey-haired mom almost cry (while she was probably baking some fresh cupcakes for one of Dave's many open houses)! This is simply uncalled for... cruel, disgusting.

I've long suspected that these Bubbleheads are jealous, angry bitter trolls who derive sustenance from the tears of kindly old grandmothers --and now we have the PROOF!

Discuss, enjoy...
HARM
