WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The White House fired back directly Friday at a cable-news commentator whose rant against President Barack Obama's mortgage plan has become one of the hottest videos on the Internet, getting him an invitation to the White House for a cup of decaf and a chat about what the plan really entails.

No dissenting allowed and if you can't stop them you must coerce them with coffee at the WH, a Super Bowl party, whatever it takes. There must not be no dissenting. It puts a damper on the fast track to Communism that the Marxist POS has planned.

Later, Santelli said on the air that he’d be glad to accept the invitation to the White House.
However, “I do prefer tea,” he said with a smile.

Santelli has stirred upa hornet’s nest. My take is, this is just the tip of the iceberg, that will eventually sink the RATitanic.

“Santelli should just snub Obama. He should tell him to act more like a freedom-loving American and he’ll gladly come to the White House.”

He should just tell him FOAD.

Nah. Just load up a FedEx package with teabags and send it to the White House - ON THE AIR. It is a kinder and gentler way to tell Zero to FOAD. Then let's see what FURG has to say, the ignorant POS.

That needs to be made into a bumper sticker, with an appropriate alternative to use if/when appropriate.

I have an idea! Let's send Santelli tea, for whatever reason. This will keep him front and center and piss off the fake “Present” currently in the WH.

What do you think?

Santelli doesn't but the ink, the drive-bys do and, unfortunately, they're in league with Obama.

Yeah, but RS is on TV, and every word he says can easily be put on You-Tube. These snippets will appear on every computer screen in America within hours - Mr. FURG and his boss shouldn't want to waste their time or reputations (such as they are) on a single reporter from a network that most people don't watch. Costs FUBO far more than he could gain.

The Germans have an expression and I wish I could remember it, but it translates roughly as “a face that cries out for a punch”. Gibbs qualifies (Geithner as well).

Lets hope this continues to get the attention of the non followers in the USA.

Yeah, well, thanks for telling us the truth through an arrogant insult Gibbs: what did you and Obama know exactly we did not? It seems like this bailout is communist insider trading of the worst kind, and you all now admited to knowingly act with those who acted irresponsibly on this housing “unaffordability” deal now “magically” becoming affordable. Because those who were responsible seem to be paying the taxes now.

***And scarier and scarier.

I liked how Gibbs said that if your neighbor’s house was on fire you’d grab a hose and put it out.

Call me crazy, but I think I’d call the Fire Dept. first...(sigh)

Some would call it market manipulation and insider trading... but it’s the gov. doing it. Gibbs certainly knows more than Santelli does in that domain. Again, I thank his arrogant tw@t face for revealing the game.

Santelli was being too kind, calling it circumstantialy “moral hazard”. Gibbs now made the case even more damning through his arrogant admission of corruption and insider trading by saying Santelli knows not what he is talking about. Again, Gibbs has laid the burden, promises and responsibility and guilt on Obama.

Knee jerk response oh so telling.
