In a speech yesterday: Dial 1-800-OOPS for housing help.
U.S. homeowners who could face crippling mortgage payments will have a hard time getting help if they call a telephone number President George W. Bush recommended on Thursday -- he gave them the wrong number.
"I have a message for every homeowner worried about rising mortgage payments: The best you can do for your family is to call 1-800-995-HOPE," Bush said after a White House meeting with administration officials and lenders on a new plan to help.
It should have been 888 instead of 800. The number he gave out belongs to the Freedom Christian Academy, in Texas, which offers religious-based curriculum for home schooling.
