CNBC is my favorite financial network. They call it the way it is, at least most of the time. It is hard to believe they are associated with NBC, which a history of slanting the news to fit their political agenda. |

Yea, most of yje financial networks will say it like it is necause they are "financial" networks. They stay in business with credibility not idealogy and Obama's plans purely reflect idealogy and make no economic sense. He has trouble keeping his own economic advisors onboard. |

Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: st pete, fl | Re: Rick Santelli Rant on CNBC - Rant of the Year Santelli hit it on the head with this one. Actually, he goes at it pretty good with some of the others on occasion. As a whole the network leans neither way. They may not know anything more than anyone else, but at least they do remain neutral.

#6 (permalink) | | BamaNation First Team | Re: Rick Santelli Rant on CNBC - Rant of the Year Santelli nailed it. Although, I am surprised he hasn't been made to issue some form of an apology for being so verbally critcal of the current administration, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is forced to issue one in the future. Not that I feel an apology is warranted in this case. I agree with what he's saying. Maybe in the future elections I might set aside some of my ideological beliefs, and cast my vote for the candidate who can help straighten out our current economic mess. "Hope" and "change" are merely empty words if your government is bankrupt and can't protect its citizens.

He's fooling himself if he thinks our illustrious Premier and congressional types have anything approaching an altruistic motive in this. This was lobbied for by the big boys, the ones who made trillions when times were good. And they got exactly what they paid for, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi, and their pack of anonymous doonesbury republicans did exactly what they were sent there to do.

The White House has fired back, and pretty weakly. Nonetheless, they're gonna protect their boy no matter what. |

That's gonna leave a mark.
It was folks like Santelli who helped ruin the economy in the first place.
More manufactured outrage.

Now that the libs are in the fire it's getting too hot. If they don't like it they should resign and go home. Politics is for big boys and girls.
