She sounds like your typical ignorant congressman. Limited intellect, no real-world experience, and certainly no RE knowledge. If you can't figure out why homes in traditional black areas of town sell less than the white areas, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe take a day and drive around. She probably not even qualified to be a walmart greeter let alone a representative in congress.
I just checked out her wikipedia page. It's exactly what I expected. It's a shame congress isn't filled with 535 educated people with high level business experience. Instead, it's fill with about 500 freak shows and 35 qualified individuals.
