White House Still Sniping At Santelli

Looks like Rick Santelli got under Pres. Obama’s skin even more than we realized. More than a week after the CNBC correspondent criticized the mortgage bailout plan, there was the president’s press secretary today, still taking snide shots at him.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs’ contemptuous comment came in response to a question from Chip Reid of CBS suggesting that the administration had retooled the plan in light of the “backlash that a lot of people had, not just on cable, but a lot of people had, fearing that people who behaved badly will be rewarded.”

Before Reid could finish his question, Gibbs jumped in to claim that the changes to the program had not come in response to the criticism. It was then that he took his nasty shot at Santelli . . .

notice how CNBC has pulled their “Rebel Yell” commercial.

CNBC had a commercial which had Santelli speaking to the cheers of the traders around him.

Obama now sends WH minions to propaganda in the AM at CNBC.

BTW CNBC is doing an interview with warrent buffet and is inviting people to send in their quesitions at ASKWARREN@CNBC.com

so if any wants to ask warren buffett an INTELLIGENT question about the ecconomy...

Good.

Every time this sad excuse for a spokes-poofter mentions Santelli his Economic Guru status rises.

I originally spelled spokes-poofter spokespoofter, but FR spell check suggested the hyphenated version. LOL

Every minute the administration stays off message, dealing with petty slights and trivial BS.....is one less minute that they spend with their hand in my #@#%^### pocket.

It's time to start a nation-wide letter campaign. Somebody with a great deal of writing skill ought to set up a form letter, or at least organize the main topical talking points so that we can simultaneously hammer "the one" in all the major newspapers.

Overwhelm them with dissent - they don't have the manpower to answer us en masse.

I think electing a total rookie with no experience just because of his skin color kind of opened the door for anyone to be “electable”.

I think that Obambi is showing, in no uncertain terms, why we should NOT have racial preferences when hiring.

The war room is in full swing....Jon Stewart was hitting CNBC and Santelli last night.

This is how they do it....the DNC/MSM/Hollywood/Academia war room.

WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE.

Yep, Roses... it's that endless, incessant Drumbeat. It never stops.

Just sent “Warren” a question asking where the CNBC Santelli “Rebel Yell” commercials went... LOL
