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.
“I’ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school,” Gibbs said. “I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that,” the press secretary said, poking directly at the cable journalist, who reports from the trading floor at the Chicago Board of Trade.
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.

Are you suggesting we have to be fair and give mortgaged homeowners not in trouble the same help as those in trouble, but not to be fair to those homeowners who are not mortgaged?
Of course. Somebody needs to take that "fact sheet" and break it down, one lie at a time.
Why not?
ACORN could well be the powder keg in this country. Breaking into homes people were evicted from for not paying their mortgages to put those people back in their house is anarchy and no one in our government seems willing to stop it, instead they just fund ACORN with more money.
What you say?
The White House AGAIN targeting another private citizen expressing their dislike of Hussein’s policies.
What? The White House AGAIN targeting another private citizen expressing their dislike of Hussein’s policies.
Say that again—The White House AGAIN targeting another private citizen expressing their dislike of Hussein’s policies.
Oh, I see—The White House AGAIN targeting another private citizen expressing their dislike of Hussein’s policies.
How many lefties are wondering about their MESS-iah now.
Dear Leader doesn’t take well to criticism.. he didn’t during the election and he sure and hell isn’t going to take it now that he is king.
You know...if this government was a kingdom, with one person to blame....we would have stormed the castle already.
Yes but not quite to this extent or this early in an administration.
Well it sure isn’t this administration.
“There is no economic recovery happening, folks, and there isn’t going to be one for a while, but we’re going to have ‘greater decency’ and ‘greater fairness.’ You know how liberals define that. They’re going to spread misery equally, and we’re going to call that fairness.” -Rush Limbaugh
Hope you like Rush. We do here.
OBAMA = One Big Ass Mistake America
Given NBC and their connection through GE to Dear Leader, I imagine Santelli will be fired soon.
Now...whose fault is this since the Dems have been in control in Congress for the past too many years? Who brought us to this mess with Fannie and Freddie and ACORN...and who made the most money out of it - DemocRATS!
No they aren't.
“A people Ignorant and Free never was and Never Will Be!”
Thomas Jefferson
“I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives ...”
I’m sure we will all know soon.
And we’ll soon know if he has a tax lien on it, like Joe did, or if he owes an ex alimony, or returned a library book late, or...
And the govt is on track to find out even more, MUCH MORE about us all, if they aren’t stopped dead in their tracks.
Yeah, we need to keep up on this story.
I have been sending emails to Congress, Whitehouse and Media for Months and Months now that we need a BOSTON TEA PARTY on Congressman, Elected Officials all over country, those who work for them, there families and yes the Media...dump them all in Sea or River.
And all of them should be AUDITED BY IRS NOW!
Let the backlash begin! *grin*
FReepers are on the list, I’m sure.
I imagine that there are O-bots among us.
I didn’t read all of that, but did it say anything about having different race parents?
Does that have anything to do with insanity?
