Stating the Obvious? TARP Banks MUST Implement Obama Loan Modification Program.

Maybe with the absence of any Obama Making Home Affordable loan modifications, the HUD Secretary HERE felt he needed to confirm the obvious--If a bank takes TARP money, they must also make this program available to their eligible borrowers. (This doesn't mean they must modify a loan for an individual applicant, just that they must implement this program).

Editorial Comment: The Administration would have a little more creditability on this topic if they had published all the necessary guidance before announcing the program a couple of months ago. Minor things like how to calculate Net Present Value , etc.
(See my post from 5 weeks ago HERE about what was and is STILL missing). "Under promise and over deliver" is mantra that should have been adopted for this program.
