A Voice of Reason! Looks like the beginnings of a revolution!!!

If you haven’t seen this yet – it’s absolutely amazing! This guy, Rick Santelli, has now said publicly and on the air exactly what the majority of Americans who “played by the rules” are saying across the country. I hope this gets a lot of air time (obviously not on the MSM news broadcasts). What Obama suggested yesterday in his speech at a high school in Phoenix, AZ is that the government will be bailing out those who can’t afford their mortgages – and the reason for doing so is that by bailing out my neighbor – he’s actually helping me by keeping my home value up! What freakin’ kinda bullshit is that?
Everyone needs to see this – post it up on your blogs as well!

It’s about time someone showed some outrage about what’s going on in Washington. Both parties are selling us down the river.

@Nemov – thanks for stopping in. Great blog BTW – gonna have to add you to my blogroll. I agree in that there really is no difference between the Dems and Repubs now – they’re both socialist parties.

Well, done. I’m glad to see something out there besides Nobama every five minutes. He’s fired up for sure. Perhaps we should all attend his Boston tea party this summer. Excellent.
Have a terrific day.

Some of the unhinged reactions from the left about Santelli’s statements are hilarious. I posted one on my site that takes the cake.

Why is he asking the guys that already got a bailout their thoughts on the new bailout?

I have stated for years that the only way to save America at this point IS a “Second Revolution”…

The thing that shocks me the most about this is the CNBC would allow this guy to go off like that. CNBC is from that same family that brought us MSNBC, Chris Mathews and Keith Olberman. They are so pro-Obama that I can’t believe they didn’t cut away from this and then frog march Santelli away from CNBC just for telling the truth.

@Nemov – I read that. Unhinged would be the appropriate descriptor here!
@Ron – not real sure what you’re talking about. The guys in the background are traders and he’s talking to his co-anchors that are financial analysts. They aren’t bankers, financiers, or auto makers.
@Guy – I fear it’s around the corner
@Raider Steve – actually, when I was watching that I was thinking along similar lines. I’m surprised he still has a job there!
@Beans – shhh…you’re giving it away, man!

I watched a segment on MSNBC where they showed this video clip with Santelli and the only person that vehemently disagreed with Santelli’s rant was a mortgage industry crony. Also, did anyone notice how tactless the Obama administration was when it responded to Santelli’s rant? Very poor.

@VH – Gibbs was way over his head on that. He obviously doesn’t understand economics either – and what was with his personal attack against Santelli? I guess this is the change the administration was talking about. Try to destroy the dissenting voices.
@Thanks, Greg

That was certainly a news “maker” last week. The response to such a direct “message” has polarized the issue. Which is great, ’cause what we need right now is more division and polarization. Maybe we can all argue about it so much we won’t notice the flushing sound of the toilet.
This is a toxic debt issue to Americans. They forget that the dudes who hold all those cancerous mortgages – and who will get stiffed if nothing is done – are all foreign. In essence, America long ago exported this problem to the world. So we can all get our undies in a knot about petty American politics and philosophy, but the guys who get the shaft are gonna have something to say about it…and they are immune to the squabling.
When I’m owed money, I kinda sorta expect a say when I’m in danger of being stiffed. If I get stiffed, I tend to remember who stiffed me. Think about it.

@Aetius – thanks for stopping in and commenting. Also, I noticed you have Identity Check on your blogroll – I like Anok. While I don’t always agree with a lot of what she has to say – she does bring something to the table to think about.
Now – regarding your response – I understand your point. However, what this issue is about and the reason for the outrage, as you can probably see, is that the government wants to take from the 90% of us who played by the rules and give to those 10% that should not have had a home in the first place because they got their loans under false pretenses. I’m not including those people who at one time were playing by the rules and have subsequently lost their jobs as the result of the recession – sure – they could use a leg up. I get the idea that many foreign entities own a lot of this toxic debt as a result of those derivatives that were propping up all those bad loans. But – we the people shouldn’t have to pay for the mistakes of the government and the greedy financiers. Considering those other countries are either in the same bad shape or worse shape than we, I don’t see them mounting a strong attack against this country either through direct warfare or some other diplomatic means. It would do no one any good at this point since you can’t get water from a rock.

Hey Bobo-
Anok is the type of person who will get things done. Like you, I have no time for armchair critics – get out there and do something and ,right or wrong, you will always have my respect.
On the issue, I completely understand the sentiment – a very human one. But under the coming circumstances I don’t believe “fairness” is going to play much of a role. As angry as you are, there are folks on the other side of the world just a angry to have exchanged their hard earned efforts for empty houses in Peoria. That too, is a human reaction.
The solution lies in an equitable – not fair – final accounting where financial confidence is only damaged and not destroyed. The concern being that stiffing the global finance community will result in their losing confidence in American debt and obligation. And that at a time where the only salvation appears to be trillions worth of other, foreign peoples money.
Either way, we are all going to pay a fortune for this – even if it is only in invisable value.
