love rick but he was being rude.... Obama inherited it and is trying to fix a big hole. at the same time I agree with Rick this is not the time tto give people healthcare we can't afford it but remember Bush added to deficit by doing what? You guessed it Healthcare. You remember that little 8 trillion dollar prescription drug bill. Opps...

Rick Santelli didn't win the argument because there was no debate. It was all one-sided. Boykin could barely get 10 seconds of speaking without being interrupted. Watch it again and really observe what happened. Boykin was quiet every time Rick ranted, but whenever it was Boykin's turn to defend his point of view, Rick and the Anchors kept cutting him off. The media is so biased!

Even when they gave Boykin the final point, he was still cut off by Rick, while Boykin was quiet during Rick's fp

Most of these comments are NONSENSE. I have the utmost respect for Keith Boykin for keeping his keeping his emotions intact even when he had every reason to explode. Boykin NEVER got to fully express his opinion without interruptions.

Rick Santelli SPOKE FOR 45 seconds in the opening and Keith Boykin LISTENED without interrupting. Keith was trying to explain the other side of the story, but they refused to let him speak his opinion. I like Rick Santelli, but he didn't win the argument!

Let be honest people "Rick Santelli" would never say, we should not have bailed out AIG, Bank of America, General Motors, ect. the list truly goes on. But he has a promblem with the government potentially helping the American people. I'd say his allegiance is obvious, and trust me he knows who's side he's on.
