Awesome. The Administration feels so threatened by a reporter that, “...Gibbs used Santelli’s name at least five times.”

[Yaelle]

"Mister Santelli. You were misinformed. Got that? Now tell the nice people."

[scott7278]

Typical liberal - there’s never any legitimate opposition from principle, just uninformed people.

This condescending tone will be a major backfire in this administration.

[HwyChile]

That video has hit a nerve and a weak point of Obama. If the dumbass republicans had a brain that would be running with the same theme and doing whatever they can to get their message on TV (Fox News, etc.).

[mkjessup]

F—k you Gibbs, and your illegal Usurper-in-Chief too.

[MrB]

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.

Gibbs, you a44hole. That's what liberalism IS.
Using FORCE to make the responsible pay for the consequences of the irresponsible.

[a fool in paradise]

What happened? I thought for 8 years they told us “dissent is patriotic”.

[silverleaf]

Oh, so now if you have a house and are making the payments- you’re not entitled to criticize the deadbeats looking for gubmint money?

I predicted Santelli would get a “Joe the Plumber” media colonoscopy-. I didn’t expect the WH press secretary to be cheering. Gibbs is a despicable liitle grub, isn’t he?
A pasty twerp punk who probably has to pay for dates.

Who is he related to that got him that job????

[Unam Sanctam]

Here’s an idea, maybe the government can freely allow private citizens to exercise their first amendment rights to criticize. Didn’t Hilary say that it was patriotic to voice dissent?

[IrishCatholic]

I watched the youtube at the link.

Gibbs is a punk. The whole White House crew are punks.

[DoughtyOne]

Does the current occupant of the White House know we have a document called the Constitution of the United States? It’s hard to tell, since he has spent the fist month of this administration weighing the feasibility of destroying citizen’s rights protected under the First Amendment.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I suspect Mr. Santelli’s affiliation with General Electric and NBC News is about to come to an end.

[edpc]

I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives.....

Me neither.....but I'd be willing to bet his mortgage and tax payments are current.

[Sequoyah101]

Flip and spin to class envy and racism...its a pattern.

The guy told it like it is.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

I'm frightened at the direction this White House is taking us with respect to the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. It's “cool” to burn a flag, but express disagreement with 0-ba-ma and you will be targeted, your tax history looked up, and any and all private information will be publicly discussed by the PRESS SECRETARY no doubt. Imagine if President Bush had said, “I'm not sure how much Ms. Sheehan loved her son, but those who do love their sons are supporting me.”

[geo40xyz]

Mr Santelli!!

Please report to Ft Macey, ASAP;-()

[freespirited]

Move over Joe the Plumber!

[henkster]

This is one issue where 0bama hasn’t done the math. The percentage of Americans who are current in their mortgage and make their payments on time is considerably more than the percentage of “troubled” mortgages.

I was talking to Mrs. Henkster who runs the family books; we got out first mortgage in 1987. During those 21 1/2 years, we never EVER were even so much as late on a payment. My guess is that many Americans are in the same position, and the idea that they are being forced to pay their own mortgage PLUS the mortgage of others who had less financial sense is going to rub the wrong way.

[allmost]

I always liked Rick Santelli. He was, of course, correct in his statement. Not politically correct, but right none the less. Pointing out the obvious disastrous effects on something in which he lives his entire professional life in should be listened to. Not derided. Who’s got a stopwatch to time how long it takes for some leftist to send him a death threat?

[GnL]

Hmm. Who to believe...Rick Santelli or Dumbass Gibbs? Rick Santelli or Dumbass Gibbs? That’s a tough one. Gibbs and his Baghdad Bob impersonation is the laughingstock of the world. Does anyone believe this clown or his boss? Anyone? Beuller?
