The White House is lashing out publicly and personally at a CNBC reporter whose attack on President Barack Obamas 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 Fridays news briefing.
Ive watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. Im 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 Obamas program would amount to a transfer of money from prudent taxpayers to those who had taken reckless risks.

It certainly is. I wouldn't buy a used car from Gibbs, why should I believe him in anything?
We may see it that way...but they see it it as good strategy...see links at post # 69, # 134,
Judging from Gibbs’ response I’d say the messiah just might be a little worried.
Sis and her 6 children and my son are all talking about how we can pool resources to “Starve the Beast”.
Families need to stick together, consider “Dallas” type of multi-family living. Share mowers, rides etc. Share the expenses etc (even incorporate the family if it will come out with a tax benefit.)
Barter with friends and neighbors, Buy from local farmers, perserve and do some old fashion cooking. Check out the old cook books. Shop only the outside of the grocery. It’s not only healthier it more economic.
Shop the consignment stores (and sell your items through them.)
I don’t know where Santelli lives either, but I have a pretty good idea where the remaining GITMO prisoners will be moving.
Remember how uncomfortable 0bama gets when he’s referred to as a socialist -
that means that we need to do so at every possible turn, and publicly.
Has anybody seen the "fact sheet" and compared it to what's actually in the legislation? For that matter has anybody actually seen the legislation?
That was last year....we have a New Guy in charge NOW!
There are a lot of people out there who have less than Santelli because they didn’t and don’t work as hard as he has or does. Their success is not his responsibility, and their lack of success is not his fault. In our current politically correct society we are afraid to acknowledge that some people have less because they chose not to work as hard, or chose not to delay gratification. Choices have consequences, and those who have made responsible choices should be championed, not despised. How about Obama gives back whatever money he has left in his political war chest ‘to the people’.
"You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set, 'cause you gonna get your mind right."
Gibbs - Reminds me of Tom Arnold
Is there an intro to that?
I never noticed the Satute of Liberty in the background of that scene. Nice touch...
I think it was Coppalas best directed scenes in all of his movies. I also so a picture in a coffee table book on the Godfather that shows the World Trade Center to the far left of the Statue of Liberty. That would have ruined the scene. ; )
Every time I turn around I see Obama on the tube. He is destining himself to be way too overexposed. There is still such a thing, Obama. V’s wife.
By tomorrow, we'll know what grade he received on his high school term paper.
Ernest, I get what you are saying. But I firmly believe that he has a personality disorder, a mental illness, which makes him even more dangerous. The marxism and mental illness are tied together.
