MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan appeared on Morning Joe, Wednesday, to dismiss Barack Obama as a "little boy" in the eyes of Wall Street and to assert the President "just bends over," rather than stand up to the financial industry. [Audio available here.]

The charged language surprised host Joe Scarborough who sputtered, "You know, I was so uncomfortable with a couple of the things you said and then the exclamation point at the end."

Speaking of financial reform, Ratigan attacked, "...When the Wall Street guys got across the table from him and said 'Oh you going to change our tax code little boy?'" After dismissing Obama's ability to oppose Wall Street, Ratigan vulgarly claimed, "But with this guy, he just bends over every time."

I believe there is a “NewsBusters” pinglist somewhere. Could someone help out?

What is wrong with these people? He talks like that on TV and still has a job?

[Steely Tom]

I think this is code for "little black boy." At least that's what Maureen Dowd taught me to think.

[Siena Dreaming]

It really is sick that such language is now accepted on TV.

There's some pretty crass stuff in our everyday culture.

This is another example of the intellectual vacuum in the main stream media. Instead of an intelligent discourse on the relationship between Wall Street and President Obama, Dylan Ratigan resorts to elementary school name calling. Is Dylan trying to goad Mr. President on? What a waste of time to read such rubbish!

Ratigan and I share the same contempt for the Kenyan.

Maybe dogs and cats are sleeping together....

[Fresh Wind]

Well, he does bend over for Muslim kings.

[macquire]

“boy”.

Hmmm. If a Conservative said this there would be riots in the streets right now and they would be burning down their grocery stores and gas stations..............

What is amazing is this POS lib was recently a business host spinning for Obummer on CNBC. Be very wary of the info you get on that channel. Even Kudlow seems very strained to put a happy face on things when none is available.

Team Clinton is on the move....

After all the lies the rats said about Pres Bush this is what they get now
