‘Today’ Triple-Teams Santelli
	02/20/2009 5:07:52 AM PST · by governsleastgovernsbest · 40 replies · 1,508+ views FinkelBlog ^ \| Mark Finkelstein After his top-of-Drudge-worthy remarks [video] yesterday on CNBC, you knew Rick Santelli would be on NBC’s Today this morning. Perhaps equally predictable was that the man who argued against making the 92% of responsible Americans paying their mortgages bail out the 8% who aren’t would be subject to the third degree. Or in this case, a triple team. Steve Liesman, also of CNBC, was there to take the other side, but he was clearly playing for the home team alongside Matt Lauer and Brian Williams, pinch-hitting for Meredith Vieira. Neither Lauer nor Williams hit Liesman, who favors the huge mortgage...

CNBC's Rick Santelli Hammers Obama on Subsidizing "Losers' Mortgages" - Video 2/19/09

Rick Santelli of CNBC on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade this morning absolutely calls out President Barack Obama on his plan to essentially make taxpayers pay for people who took out bad mortgages. Santelli says: 'The government is promoting bad behavior... do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages... This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage? President Obama are you listening? How about we all stop paying our mortgage! It's a moral hazard.' He even suggests what we may need is another "Boston Tea...

Excellent, excellent computation about a very important grass roots ground swell opposing this very bad mortgage bailout. God Bless Rick Santelli. I hope the mods put it on the sidebar.

Subsidize Bad Behavior?
TownHall ^ | February 20, 2009 | Lawrence Kudlow

President Obama’s massive mortgage-bailout plan is nothing more than a thinly disguised entitlement program that redistributes income from the responsible 92 percent of home-owning mortgage holders who pay their bills on time to the irresponsible defaulters who bought more than they could ever afford. This is Obama’s spread-the-wealth program in action.
Team Obama is rewarding bad behavior. It is enlarging moral hazard. It is expanding its welfarist approach to economic policy. And with a huge expansion of government-owned zombie lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Team Obama is taking a giant step toward nationalizing the mortgage market.
Reporting from the Chicago commodity pits, my CNBC colleague Rick Santelli unleashed a torrent of criticism over this scheme. Santelli said: “Government is promoting bad behavior . . . Do we really want to subsidize the losers’ mortgages? This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor’s mortgage? President Obama, are you listening? How about we all stop paying our mortgages! It’s a moral hazard.”
All this took place on the air to the cheers of traders. Santelli called for a new tea party in support of capitalism. He’s right.
.... What’s even more incredible is Team Obama’s stubborn refusal to have any faith in the free market.
.... All this is free-market economics 101. And I say, let free-markets work. Let’s remember that most folks -- even those with underwater mortgages, where the loan value is more than the home value -- do not walk away from their obligations. They don’t want to wreck their credit -- and their homes are their castles. That’s the American way.
But if we penalize the good guys and subsidize the bad ones, we are undermining the moral and economic fabric of this country.

Here is an outstanding discussion from Morning Joe this morning that included Rick Santelli and Mike Barnacle along with Joe Scarborough. They talked about Santelli's challenge yesterday of President Obama's approach to the housing crisis. Both Barnacle and Santelli absolutely hit the nail on the head! Barnacle conceded that "the language of catastrophe" was introduced by Democrats about 12 years ago when they began to push policies that espoused the belief that "every American deserves to own a home." As a result, thousands of mortgages were given to people who can't afford a house. Barnacle said the truth is that...

I’ve had a case of deja vu today. I’m noticing the tone. I’m seeing the enthusiasm. And I’m digging out from the sheer volume of e-mails I’ve been getting today about that CNBC dude. The reaction to Rick Santelli’s Chicago-trading-floor incident this morning echoes the emotional reaction my inbox had to Sarah Palin’s convention speech this summer.

CNBC's Santelli Invited to the White House By Jeff Poor Created 2009-02-20 15:45

Will wonders ever cease? First, a NBC network airs its Chicago Mercantile Exchange floor reporter making a call to action [1] against all the populism that has inundated the political dialogue over the past six months. Now, the same reporter, Rick Santelli, has been invited by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs to the White House.

WH lashes out at CNBC's Santelli

The White House is lashing out publicly and personally at a CNBC reporter whose attack on President Barack Obama’s anti-foreclosure plan caught fire on the Internet on Thursday.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs jumped at the chance to go after the CNBC journalist, Rick Santelli, when a question about his bracing critique was asked at Friday’s news briefing.

... Gibbs insisted Santelli was misinformed when he said Obama’s program would amount to a transfer of money from prudent taxpayers to those who had taken reckless risks.

Becky Quick is a total babe.
