"Mister Santelli. You were misinformed. Got that? Now tell the nice people."

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.

Santelli is the first MSM correspondent of any note to take issue with Zero and his policies. They can’t have that..they will beat him down and I bet Imelt has already had a call. Santelli isn’t very smooth, but he generally is on the mark..I always thought he was the best business correspondent on the tube.
Bunch of thin-skinned pansies in the WH now, aren’t there?
". . . But it would be a shame if anything unfortunate were to happen to it."
Bush never understood how important it is to keep a good image.
We’ll all know if he had any back taxes, any parking tickets ever, how many pairs of underwear he has, if he ever spit on the sidewalk etc......
“Starve The Beast”. Live it, learn it, love it. Do what you can to remove equity from their oversight. Any little bit helps. If 5 million of us could remove $100,000 dollars each, that is $5 TRILLION from their control. Do your part. Starve the Beast.
Just say when and where.
Count me in too. This poor guy is going to be shunned by his cohorts in the media for daring to speak the truth.
You GO Rick!!!!
He needs his own show called Money’s Mad.
Awesome. The Administration feels so threatened by a reporter that, “...Gibbs used Santelli’s name at least five times.”
"Mister Santelli. You were misinformed. Got that? Now tell the nice people."
Typical liberal - there’s never any legitimate opposition from principle, just uninformed people.
This condescending tone will be a major backfire in this administration.
They are cretin! And Commies!
Cretin-
A Person that is: brainless, stupid, child-like, and full of pointless information that makes no sense and appeals only to other cretins.

Hold on a minute, I’m going to try to imagine the MSM reaction to W doing this...................
Gibbs has the kind of face that just makes me want to punch him.
A hit dog hollers.
F—k you Gibbs, and your illegal Usurper-in-Chief too.
Gibbs, you a44hole. That's what liberalism IS.
