They are throwing their little tantrums--very immature!

The White House is lashing out publicly and personally at a CNBC reporter whose attack on President Barack Obama’s 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 Friday’s news briefing.
“I’ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I’m 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 Obama’s program would amount to a transfer of money from prudent taxpayers to those who had taken reckless risks.

“ACORN could well be the powder keg in this country. .. no one in our government seems willing to stop it, instead they just fund ACORN with more money.”
Everything that is wrong with this marxist, racist, fascist administration is reflected in acorn- especially the fascist part.
This is a group investigated by the FBI for fraud and worse, yet is being funded with our money- but hey, Ayers bombed the Pentagon and has a good job in education.
Liberals don’t like keeping score, but average Americans who play by the rules do, and they don’t like being punished to shore up those who played fast and loose.
“Politics has always been a shakedown game. Big money people pay protection to Washington. Of course with this administration, it doesn’t matter how much you’ve given. If you’re big, they’re coming after you, and they’re going to laugh while your business plummets.”
Rush took the words right out of my mouth.
Well, he is pretty bad....but he’ll be replaced with another flaming lib.

It is great to see Obama make another idiotic blunder. Nationally, Santelli is nobody. Few people watch cnbc and Santelli is a virtual unknown. Despite his “tea party” rant, he was still an unknown. Now Obama is going to make him a celebrity by dignifying him with their attention.
Stupid. Very stupid. An arrogant, rookie blunder. I love it.
I’m still baffled why the Chicago machine and DNC picked Obama to carry their water.
Best thing Obama could have done was say “Rick who? Never heard of him, sorry.”
I can’t believe Obama has been able to cram so many blunders into his first month in office. A fair media would be having a field day between his mistakes and Biden’s stupid statements.
The Obots usually expose themselves on birth cert threads and the like. They’re here, and it’s to be as expected as some Freepers who lurk on DU.
Of course, the difference is that Cons have more respect for Constitutional liberty and freedom from government interference than Libtards do.
crazy, isn’t it! Sort of like us funding LaRaza, which we do.
Being, “gone after” by Robert Gibbs is like being chased by an arthritic chihuahua. It really is pathetic. I can’t see that Gibbs is long for this world as Press Secretary.
I giggled with glee at the heads that would be exploding among the liberals of my 'friends'!!
And you know what?
Nothing, that's what.
CRICKETS................... Not one single comment from any of them.
I've always gone out of my way to avoid having political conversations with moonbats, but...............
I'VE HAD IT AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
It's time for the silent majority to STAND UP & CALL THIS WHAT IT IS - UNAMERICAN & UNACCEPTABLE!
We have the other problem of Obama’s narcissistic personality disorder also. He won’t take criticism well.
(Socialism )
None.
White House to cable news: Calm down ( and we know where you live )
I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives ...”
I agree with Santelli.
In my opinion Gibb’s probably seeks his dates from the metrosexuals seeking cross-dressers section of craigslist.
Mr. Santelli will probably start receiving an unsubscribed subscription to the monthly “watch-tower series” compliments of the NOI.
Tyrants never like to be questioned on anything they do or say.
This is still America,
NSNR
Personalize it and attack it. Alinsky tactics- commie tactics-commies in the White house.
We need to get some synergy so there’s not so many disparate groups. ANSWER has been excellent at that.
Glenn Beck is also doing his We Surround Them project which also advocates local meeting and action.
How can we get both, and other groups, to work together?
Weak.
