I have been a lurker here for years, but now feel it is time to jump in. I worked with Rick at the Chgo Board of Trade...good guy and speaks his mind! My son just called from the trading floor to say that the buzz has been going around that he might lose his job for this...PLEASE go to CNBC and send a compliment for him...we need his voice and more like him.
Welcome to FR.
I love Rick....
I don't know that he is any more outspoken than Kudlow...whom I also Love....Peter Schiff shows up regularly on his show and is advocating buying Gold...
I watched the segment live this AM. Thanks for the headzup on the “buzz”, as a result I sent a feedback email to CNBC as follows:
“Just a note to express my thanks to Rick Santelli for reporting so accurately this AM, the reaction of myself and millions of conservative Americans to the so called stimulus program as enacted by the liberal political element in our federal government. Rick is a brilliant reporter and deserves a bonus for sticking his neck out as he did on air this morning - I watched it in delighted astonishment.
Welcome FReeper!
Make it easy and provide a link...you'll get more participation that way.
I went to the site and coudn't figure out how to send an email to these folks.
Welcome aboard.
Didn’t CNBC fire someone else who spoke out on the network about Obama? I think that person went to Fox business network...
Now known as the Chicago ?Tea Party!
He should be on FOX anyway.
