I'm sure those poor homeowners who were "swindled" by the mortgage syndicate didn't feel that way when their home value increased 15% a year. Where was your outrage then? Yep, I thought so. As long as you and the sheeple make money while buying into that crap that home prices never drop, then who cares how it's happening. But as soon as the party ends and the hangover begins you want your bailout!
So, stop with your pathetic rant about how awful Santelli is...look in the mirror instead.
When you have a good idea of Santelli's true beliefs about what makes this country great, you get back to me. Until then, shut up.
Watch a little CNBC's Squak Box and then tell me he stands for corporate America. He's one of the few sane voices out there railing against bailout America!
So, get your facts straight before you spew your crap.
@squizzbutt The only thing that made your country great was all the technology and nuclear science that your country stole from Germany. Without it, you would be speaking Japanese now. But like Rome, your downfall will be your uncontrollable greed. It's happening right now, the U.S. is finished as an economic power, and soon the rot will set in and you will all blame each other more and more, left and right, rich and poor. It was W Bush who started the big spending, where was Santelli then?
OMG, your description of this video is preposterous and offensive beyond belief. BUSH IS WRONG FOR EVERYTHING huh???? Obama is NOT telling you what he is spending it on because he is not spending it. Dummy, Congress spends the money.
Rick...keep it up buddy. Lauer lost major track of the subject surrounding this interview. He probably was in over his head, you can tell after Rick gives his points. So Lauer reverted to a simpler subject and completely avoided the major issue. Given that this is a morning show, most people watching probably don't understand the economics surrounding the issues, including Lauer.
Let me correct that.... Rick Santelli is the voice of many HARD and SMART Working Americans who are responsible homeowners and taxpayers. THANKS for speaking out!!!!!!!!!
THANKS for the addendum. I like the "many HARD and SMART Working Americans who are responsible homeowners and taxpayers" part, I am one. He doesn't speak for me.
Holy try to avoid the real issues and focus and some small worthless point to try to embarass Rick. Santelli, please keep it up, the obama administration is destroying us. We need to resist big government waste. The government isn't helping anything, the government programs and powers are what got us here. Power to the people/constitution, fuck the government.
Matt Lauer should have questioned Paulson after his bait and switch plan when he announced that they decided that the bailout was going to be used to help the banks rather than what it was originally intended for...the mortgage holders I don't understand why Lauer is questioning Santelli. Santelli is not the problem. He should ask Obama why there was no oversight to the baiout spending.
I don't disagree that some people live above there means, but most people work hard and get laid-off and can't afford the mortgage anymore. I just think calling these people losers adds insult to injury. Shit's ruff right now for everyone, maybe not for these brokers but most people. If I was a millionaire I wouldn't mind paying higher taxes because I'd be a FUCKING millionaire and I am my brothers keeper. This isn't the time to point fingers. Its time to come together. Long Live the U.S.A
I think someone at NBC has told Rick to put a lid on it in regards to questioning the Obama administration. He hasn't had the same passion that he's had in the past.
And Matt Lauer needs to shut up, Gibbs and the administration can't directly address a member of the media. That is bullying, and it undermines the first amendment, this is suppose to be a country where we are allowed to question our elected officials and not have to worry about being targeted by the administration or mocked.
I can't believe this Santelli character had the temerity to question the Moral Purity of the Great Barack, Our Maximum Leader Obama.
Shame on him. And good going to Matt Lauer for harping on this very serious issue. Like I said, I am just shocked that Rick Santelli would question the pure motives of the Great Leader.
It's not about that he misrepresented Robert Gibbs intentions in order to pull off a political shot. Matt Lauer did the responsible thing which is to try and clarify what exactly is going on.
Matt Lauer wouldn't know the "responsible thing" if it ran up and kissed him on the cheek. If Lauer and Williams and Couric and... you name them, had been as tough on Bush-Cheney as they have been on Santelli, we might not be in the horrible mess we're in, at least as far as the wars go.
SANTELLI IS NOT THE ISSUE. Bailing out the bankers and their bondholders (and the "loser" borrowers) is the real issue.
Um, no. The questioning is not the issue. Every American should question. After he questioned, he didn't like the answer he got, so he cried foul. Well tough shit Sandsmelly...
It'd be like a kid punching another kid. Then the 2nd kid quickly lands a sharp KO jab to the nose ending the fight. The 1st kid is now holding his nose as blood is coming down screaming, "HEY, you can't hit me back!". This turd is the lowest of low. He just threw his wife under the bus...
Who begins a reply with "Um, no"? ... Anyhow, you people are TOTALLY missing the real issue: the Bush-Obama plan has been to bail out the bankers at all costs. (This bill subsidizes the bankers, too, by the way -- do what Gibbs said, READ IT.)
Bailing out your irresponsible neighbor just clarifies the bailout issue, makes it personal. Besides, for many of us it's just the last straw. Rick Santelli is just side-show.
I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate "channel comments" and whatnot, but WTF is "far far far right" about what I've posted on this vid? Are you saying it's a lefty thing to do to bail out billionaire bankers and their bondholders, to do the Bush thing just with more money? You Obama people are as bad as the Bushies.
You are an idiot, Government was responsible for this. Government is the one printing the money, handing it out in bailouts and pet project stimulus plans. The Dow is down 1000 points since Obama took office for a reason,
And the Dow will drop a lot more before it recovers, it will take time for Obama to fix the George Bush mess, nice of Bush to leave him with 2 wars & a tanked economy.
The response to this guy from Obama supporters is scary. Isn't it? You know it is... THERE WILL BE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GREAT ONE... It is now written!!!! Obey. There is life on Mars...They will tell us soon
i cant understand that dont you think that more people work and make money the gov. makes . it doesnt make sence. and yes he did but it wasnt in this scale. trust me it was wall st.
President Obama sued Citibank back in the day because Citibank rejected loan applications & refused to issue "subprime loans" to the "poor people" who where allegedly "forced" to sign the dotted line for unaffordable houses. Google/ research it as this fact is public record. Our gov't policies are responsible for this mess, for fueling class envy as a distraction for more power. In the end, ALL OF US (poor, mid class & rich )AMERICANS are getting screwed regardless of political party.
hey rick you ripped on him first dude now be a man tough guy!!! you and rep. wall st .buddys got him in there by screwing everything up and you now want him to help you big cry babe what about food and jobs maybe he will help the people thats a change huh. why cant you guys figure it out yourself its a free market !!!!!!!!
Is Matt suggesting that the press isn't able to call out the president without gaining personal pressure from the office? What kind of jackboot is Matt, anyway? i.e. fuck that sack of shit.
WOW, Santelli, q'uelle idiot!!! Poor, poor Rick...he & his wittel wife are afraid that Gibbs was threatening him! & you did say, threatening, in regards to Gibbs. Santelli, just STFU! He threw out your name cuz you acted like a moron in Chicago!
You just acted like a Moron, should he call you out too? Lets be careful here. We give power...its not Obama's birth right...we gave him the power. That's why its so important that people like you, me and rick be able to say what we want without GOV threat of retribution (pres has power). Suprise, i'm an Obama supporter. Lets be careful...
Ahhh, but that constitutional privilege has just been granted to us under the Obama administration. Under the Busheviks, had Santelli pulled off this planned, not so spontaneous rant, the IRS would have been after him or he would have had to worry about taking a small private plane or be labeled a traitor & un-American or unpatriotic...or take your pick. So, you see, you don't have to be careful either!
Hey attention101, getting swindled out of your mortgage? When you go and buy a house, you should look at your PITI, plus any HOA and add them up.They will equal what you owe every month, for however long the term of loan is! How do you get swindled out of that? Oh I know, by not making your payments because you spend all your money on shopping, drinking, eating out, buying cars etc. We need to realize what we can afford, and go from there. No one swindled us but ourselves by greed!
I'm sure those poor homeowners who were "swindled" by the mortgage syndicate didn't feel that way when their home value increased 15% a year. Where was your outrage then? Yep, I thought so. As long as you and the sheeple make money while buying into that crap that home prices never drop, then who cares how it's happening.
