WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The White House fired back directly Friday at a cable-news commentator whose rant against President Barack Obama's mortgage plan has become one of the hottest videos on the Internet, getting him an invitation to the White House for a cup of decaf and a chat about what the plan really entails.

"It's clear Santelli and other critics are getting under the administration's skin. "

Good!

Bush NEVER used the power of the federal government to intimidate the media, even tho they unfairly attacked him. This airhead’s administration apparently has no problem using the power of the federal government (the power to arrest, imprison, seize property, seize assets, put you in jail) to silence the media when they disagree with the main airhead.

This White House has an inappropriate and unseemly obsession with its media critics.

Even worse than Bill Clinton.

Called 0 out but good.

Got his ‘invitation’ from Gibbs, too, to the WH for a spanking!

Bawney Fwank is jealous!

I just had to endure a segment of the Mike O’Meara show where he had on several lib pundits who persuaded him that if the deadbeats were not bailed out it would hurt us all and that we should (paraphrase) stop thinking of ourselves as a nation of 300 million individuals with our own aspirations, rights and responsibilities but rather as a Borg collective—from each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.

Just wait till after the census. The Messiah will take a leaf from the early Bolsheviks and require people who have large houses to take in homeless folks...

Didn’t you see that scene in “Dr. Zhivago?”

After all the bailouts of big-money losers isn’t it just like a Wall Streeter to turn a blind eye to Main Streeters. How about some trickle up for a change. As Main Street goes so goes the nation and so goes the elections.

Gibbs should read Santelli’s experience in the markets before he opens his fat mouth...

Santelli is a genuine market expert. Gibbs is a show shiner.

I believe it's an impolite suggestion to Robert Gibbs.

He wants cable news to calm down but it's been him that's been telling them that this is the worst crisis since the Great Depression.

Did any president of the nineteenth century ever personally denounce by name from the Bully Pulpit those newspaper editors, reporters and political cartoonists who regularly bedeviled them?

The more the Big “O” resorts to this tactic, the smaller he will get.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t know what FURG means."

Pronounce the first two letters like there was a space between them and then realize the last two are Robert Gibbs initials.

“Santelli should just snub Obama. He should tell him to act more like a freedom-loving American and he’ll gladly come to the White House.”

He should just tell him FOAD.

It reminds me when the Blus Dress incident hit Drudge and Hillary came out and told the MSM to take a step back and slow down...
