A new Boston Tea Party is going to be held in Chicago in July. Rick Santelli appeared on CNBC and voiced the frustration of many people over the bailouts, stimulus packages and mortgage plans.

Santelli said, "The government is promoting bad behavior. I have an idea. The new administration is big on computers and technology, how about this President and new administration: Why dont you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers mortgages or would we like to at least buy cars, buy houses in foreclosure, and give them to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the water instead of drink the water.

"This is America. How many of you people want to pay for your neighbors mortgage that has an extra bathroom and cant pay their bills?", Santelli asked the crowd at the Chicago Board of Trade.

"President Obama, are you listening?"

"Were thinking of having a Chicago Tea Party in July. All you capitalists that want to show up to Lake Michigan, Im going to start organizing it."

I will be there. Let me know if you're going - I'll buy the beer.

  • AS CONSERVATIVES WAKE UP I PRAY YOU ALL

    1. TURN OFF THE TV AND LISTEN TO REPUBLICBROADCASTING.[org and

    2. GO TO LOSTHORIZONS.[com and READ CRACKING THE CODE ...LEARN HOW THE W-4 WITHHOLDING AGREEMENT CAN BE CANCELED AND FREE YOU FROM WITHHOLDING LEGALLY.

  • I saw a sign for that in the crowd at the Tea Party today. I'll check it out.

  • The government promoting bad behavior? How is this possible? It's not like Obama is having sex with interns (yet) and educating our children about oral sex! In less than a month he's appointed Tax Cheat Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary, a guy who freed FALN terrorists as Attorney General, a woman whose husband received millions of dollars from unfriendly countries as Secretary of State and told us we don't have to be responsible for our mistakes. Obama is setting a great example for us!

  • We hear you, russraman. I think I'm going to stop paying my mortgage so Obama will give me more money and I can get a sweet interest rate. I'll let you guys pay for it - you can afford it.

  • The more the government interferes with it, the worse it'll get.

    On the other hand, if it does recover, it'll be because Mr. Obama grew a brain and became a conservative!!!

  • AMERICA AWAKE!!! AMERICA AWAKE!!!

    I am a US citizen but used to be a Venezuelan citizen. Obama is starting the same persecution and abuses against freedom of the press that the communist Hugo Chavez started 10 years ago when his government was very popular. Venezuelans let him do whatever he wanted and now a prosperous and free country is a dictatorship with a bunch of poor beggars, so used to welfare that is no way out, while the corrupt power elite consume 90% of the oil revenues.

  • pure genius: defraud investors and pensioners at the expense of the future ability of firefighters and teachers to be able to feed themselves, get a slap on the wrist from the SEC, enjoy a flood of risk-free cash from the fed with taxpayers on the hook for any losses, and laugh all the way to the bank at us mere mortals and "bolsheviks" while state governments across the nation scramble to auction off their infastructure to the private sector.

    enjoy those extended tax breaks. you earned them

  • @edawg00 Sounds like you have never heard about Ron Paul. Santelli is just saying stuff Ron Paul has said his whole life.

  • The Tea Party needs some strong leadership like Mr Santelli

  • You need to start reading. Under Bush we had solid growth for almost the entire time--until Nazi Pelousy got control of the house and started scattering taxpayer dollars like clover seeds. Bush strengthened our military, bo crushes it. Bush fought our enemies and stood with our allies, bo disses our allies and sucks off our enemies--and they laught at him.

    bo's sheep, wake up....the man can't even read histeleprompter properly.

  • OBAMA = BUSH

    ↑ THAT is why people are pissed!

  • HEY GUYS!  You may find my 'right wing terrorist' spoof humorous, Type in, Right wing terrorist mommy...

  • july 4th 2009 will be the right time to start the 2nd american revolution .The seeds have been planted by the OUT OF CONTROL GOVERMENT

  • thanks for giving us a day to remember Rick!
