I love it!
taney71 on February 22, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Hold on. Santelli was called out by the President’s Press Secretary. What is he suppose to do? I think he should have said he read it and said it is still crap. The guy was just defending himself after Obama had his dogs go after him.
taney71 on February 22, 2009 at 8:51 PM
And so it begins…
Zorro on February 22, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Dude, it’s nowhere near enough. If President Obambi is going to continue spending hundreds of billions of our dollars on half-assed bailout plans, he can take harsh criticism from a CNBC analyst.
amerpundit on February 22, 2009 at 8:52 PM
What do you mean, “its enough already?” You have more important stuff to cover? Is this guy Santelli crowding Octomom and the Chimp out of the news??
Unbelievable.
james23 on February 22, 2009 at 8:53 PM
So, someone is actually pissed off and some right-bloggers are tired of it already? I’m sure if he just *sighed* about it, it would’ve been perfect.

U.S. Eyes Large Stake in Citi
Taxpayers Could Own Up to 40% of Bank’s Common Stock, Diluting Value of Shares. Just in at WSJ

Hey Gibbs! I’d quit digging that hole if I were you!
Honeymoon is OVER!
GarandFan on February 22, 2009 at 8:55 PM
No way! He was mocked by the administration!! What is he suppose to do?? Just roll over and say sorry??? I don’t get that at all! Hey,,if only there were a 100,000 more Santelli’s,,, screaming day and night,,, it would not be too many!!!!!
JellyToast on February 22, 2009 at 8:55 PM
It won’t seem like a whole lot if we have to use force to stop Osamabamabiden’s rush to socialism.
And I, for one, am willing to fight for my country against socialism from within as well as from without.
And that is not hyperbole.
davidk on February 22, 2009 at 8:56 PM
it’s never enough in my book when anybody stands up to this pig administration.
Ghoul aid on February 22, 2009 at 8:56 PM
And Allahpundit finds a new way to rile up his commenters.
aero on February 22, 2009 at 8:57 PM
Rolling over is what “beta males” do best.
Big Orange on February 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM
My guy is out risking his life defending this country. He’s incommunicado for long lengths of time. Yet he pays his mortgage on time, while losers sit at home living it up, sleeping with the one they “love” while my guy sleeps on the ground–cold and away from me– in defense of their way of life.
It is most definitely is not enough already.
baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Damn, Kudlow was popping a vein in his forehead. A lot of hystrionics, but by and large they are right. It’s a crap sandwich, and Gibbs is being a real smart-ass…..and he doesn’t play smart-ass particularly well, ya know?
Tim Zank on February 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM
Why in the world should he shut up. He’s right and we need to be loud and obnoxious to get people’s attention, not sit back and be polite.
playtime on February 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM
It is most definitely
isnot enough already.baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM
baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 8:59 PM
AP needs to grow a pair. He’d roll over quicker than a Maine senator if Mighty Bob Gibbs went after him.
carl todd hand on February 22, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Speaking truth to power. Testify, brother.
Amen.
P.S. The crapweasels in the media said much worse things about President Bush and his administration. You would have they would have been lashing out constantly. I have never seen any of the press secretaries under President Bush act in the manner in which Gibbs did. Disgrace.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 22, 2009 at 8:59 PM
And take the wind out of the indulgences thread. ;)
davidk on February 22, 2009 at 8:59 PM
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 22, 2009 at 9:00 PM
enough??? Are you kidding me…Bring it on…louder now!!!
winston on February 22, 2009 at 9:00 PM
AP, do you not recall what happened to Joe the Plumber?
baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Citigroup Inc. is in talks with federal officials that could result in the U.S. government substantially expanding its ownership of the struggling bank, according to people familiar with the situation.
While the discussions could fall apart, the government could wind up holding as much as 40% of Citigroup’s common stock. Bank executives hope the stake will be closer to 25%, these people said.
Look at WSI site FFS

We DONT like your plan, Bambi….. Not at all..

I want to buy an irresponsible person a new bathroom…maybe a nice granite countered kitchen.

Rubber hitin’ road! You tell ‘em, girl.
davidk on February 22, 2009 at 9:01 PM
I don’t want polite any longer. It’s not enough and I can’t imagine why anyone would think it’s enough. A little ADD?
Keep going Rick. I’m listening.
playtime on February 22, 2009 at 9:01 PM
WTF? We need more from him and millions more to slow this creep towards socialism.
toliver on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
No its not enough-nowhere near enough. I want Santelli to take that video of ACORN all the way to the Whitehouse and show them that ACORN is breaking the law(the house was sold and belongs to someone else now) and how Obama is encouraging that kind of behavior by passing this mortgage bill(Enforce the tresspassing/robbery/squatter laws Obama).
I want to know where/why Judges should be given permission to renegotiate mortgage contracts! I want to know why people that dont pay or took on mortgages they cant afford-or cashed out their affordable mortgages with inflated equity values and now they get a better deal on thier bills than the responsible mortgage holders or renters do!
canditaylor68 on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
I’m all for the mortgage plan, AFTER the administration gives everybody the money they’ve lost in their 401k’s.
If that doesn’t happen, then this isn’t enough.
Not NEAR enough.
Star20 on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 22, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Thank you Senator Blutarsky.
Stand up and be counted.
kingsjester on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
‘Dude, it’s enough already.’
That’s what I keep saying as the market falls everyday another hundred points because of Obama’s economic policies.
blue13326 on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
AP, you magnificient bastard!
IrishSamurai on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
I am 92% of the Americans paying my mortgage.
For those idiots who were rushed into the banks by ACORN
taking out loans that ACORN & Obama wanted to FAIL.
It was all planned by the ONE. Now he wants to give these
deadbeats a free pass. NO, NO, NO!!!!
We need to organize protests at all ACORN rallys,
We need to organize protests at all ACORN offices,
We need to organize protests at the White House,
Go and find out where ACORN is breaking into houses,
call the media, make a youtube.
Don’t sit on your ass.
izoneguy on February 22, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Nuh uh. Not enough. More more more!
gryphon202 on February 22, 2009 at 9:03 PM
I’m sure you mean the Japanese.
Big Orange on February 22, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Agreed.
Allah, I know you see it as grandstanding, and to an extent, it is. However, it’s exactly the kind of sentiment we need. It’s not excessive. It’s coming from an educated financial analyst with no particular axe to grind. No one else on the air seems to have the balls to really rip this thing for what it is, even on the conservative punditry circle.
MadisonConservative on February 22, 2009 at 9:04 PM
OOOH GOD!!!!!!!!! I’M IN LOOOOVE!!!!
katy on February 22, 2009 at 9:04 PM
He better talk to Joe the Plumber and get some pointers on identity protection. I am sure that the mighty Os minions/goons will be circling.
retiredeagle on February 22, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Baldilocks-I feel your pain and anger 23 yrs my guy has in the service and I am lucky enough to have him home for now,but not for long… This makes us both angry to no end and is a slap to all hardworking Americans.
canditaylor68 on February 22, 2009 at 9:05 PM
AP knows exactly what buttons to push.
Gets all y’all hook, line, and sinker every time!
blatantblue on February 22, 2009 at 9:05 PM
Hey Allapundit — was that you really writing
? This from the guy that published anti Palin and McCain threads ad nauseum? If you did really write that, you are on the wrong side of your commenters, libertarians, and conservatives (no matter how you misdefine them!)
If this administration starts in on you, personally, and you complain about it, I guess we can all say to you
Old Country Boy on February 22, 2009 at 9:05 PM
You are CORRECT SIR!
TheSitRep on February 22, 2009 at 9:06 PM
No such thing on this issue.
Esthier on February 22, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Santelli is the forgotten man
A and B come together to “help” X but they have to tax C and take away C’s liberty to “help” X
A and B are happy because they have “helped” somebody, X is happy because he has been “helped”
and C is forgotten
C has to keep fighting and Santelli is
we will not be forgotten
joey24007 on February 22, 2009 at 9:06 PM
I might normally say enough but guess what, the left is on a mission to destroy this guy. I just ran into an argument on a site completely not politics related but loaded with lefties. There is a plan and it looks like a Palin attack. Now he drinks too many martinis and looks to squash the poor and down trodden. I almost could not believe what I was reading.
msmveritas on February 22, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Obviously, you don’t watch enough movies.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 22, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Agreed
blatantblue on February 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Huh?
College Prof on February 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Dude, ever see Animal House?
Tim Zank on February 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Big Orange on February 22, 2009 at 9:04 PM
No, UT Grad. That was a quote from Animal House from Bluto.
kingsjester on February 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Double secret probation for you sir. Double secret probation.
IrishSamurai on February 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM
He seems like an unlikely man to lead a revolution.

“Truth to Power”…
d1carter on February 22, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Hey,, we need a car loan bail out plan!!!
Just say no to the repo man!!
ACORN can start breaking into the repo lot and proclaim,, “those are our cars now!!”
Then we could have a Sears credit card bail out plan!!
Then a Macy’s credit card bail out plan!
An Old Navy Credit card bail out plan!!
Obama’s got the means to see you don’t have to return those jeans!!! :)
That was really bad!!
JellyToast on February 22, 2009 at 9:10 PM
My favorite part of that movie is when the douche frat leader yells at fat boy:
“IS THAT….
A PUUHH-LEEEEDDDDDGGEEEE
PPPPIIIIINNNNNN?!”
blatantblue on February 22, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Dude, it’s not enough already…keep pounding! That’s the only way the message gets out. Do you think the Dems will stop? NOOOOOOO!
crazywater on February 22, 2009 at 9:11 PM
You’ve been watching too many movies. What is a such a person supposed to look like?
genso on February 22, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Fighting words from a Sarah Palin obsessed fan.
+1
I’m afraid so.
tartan on February 22, 2009 at 9:12 PM
I reiterate many on this topic…. it absolutely is NOT enough. I wish there were more Rick Santelli’s and I want them to yell loudly and often!
My thoughts and prayers to your brave soldier. He does his country a great honor. All the while our politicians (idiots that most are) are destroying this country.
ladyhawke53 on February 22, 2009 at 9:12 PM
No. I hate movies.
Big Orange on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Another person who doesn’t get the Animal House reference.
Oh, and AP…
You really jumped the shark this time. You have become a true elitist.
Congrats.
fossten on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
So does that make Santelli an “Economic Truther?”
At what point do we finally call BS on Osama Obama’s screwed-up views? After the economy finally takes the Big Dive? After Obama and The Hildebeest sell us out to our enemies? After Iran lobs one into Israel? After ACORN changes the rules on who has the “right” to own a home?
I think you can figure out the answer, which is: do it now, before it’s too late.
MrScribbler on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Is Santelli a lib in other areas?? He’s right on this,, but is he an ultra lib on everything else??? Just curious.
JellyToast on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Here’s some advice I received during my Air Force days while I was working on fighter-bombers: “Be careful what buttons you push.”
baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
The Rant Heard Round The World.
Jerricho68 on February 22, 2009 at 9:13 PM
I hope that Santelli is just getting started. Is no one else (AP included) not, shall we say, a bit “disturbed” by how Gibbs went after Santelli, personally even? The derision and arrogance in voice was palpable, and f***in scary too! I mean, this guy represents the POTUS (and vicariously all Americans) and he derides a PRIVATE CITIZEN that DARES….oh whats the word…DISAGREES with his policies!!!! One thing is for sure now, O and his minions won’t back down, they’re gonna have to be smacked down, beginning now and everyday for the next four years. Otherwise, there’s no hope for us all, and that’s a fact. It’s clear that O wishes to run roughshod over all of his detractors and will do anything (ANYTHING) to enact his policies.
volnation on February 22, 2009 at 9:14 PM
ALLAHPUNDIT, I have to say I am with most here. I loved it, especially because he is part of the press. He has a loud voice because he is on CNBC and he has been heard an awful lot since the rant, and I can’t get enough of it.
One thing I don’t understand is why the parent company NBC didn’t try and silence him.
Anyway, I love this guy! So keep ‘em comin!
funsutton on February 22, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I can’t say, but he’s been against bailouts from the beginning.
flyfisher on February 22, 2009 at 9:14 PM
You are missing out on Animal House
It gets him the traffic and commenting he wants. Can’t blame him for it
blatantblue on February 22, 2009 at 9:15 PM
It may be enough for one member of the media — Santelli is running the risk of being typecast as a loon — but it’s nowhere near enough as far as an honest appraisal of Obama and his policies is concerned. Santelli’s is one of the very few voices speaking up with any sort of criticism. So no, nowhere near enough.
ddrintn on February 22, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Good enough.
JellyToast on February 22, 2009 at 9:15 PM
davidk on February 22, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Dude, it’s enough already.
Seriously? We are just getting started. Hang on tight or get left behind. Either way, enough is NOT enough.
milwife88 on February 22, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Just a bit of an addition. I hope you don’t mind.
baldilocks on February 22, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Porkyius Maximus.
Jerricho68 on February 22, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Big Orange, Dr Cwac did not originate that. He was quoting candidate Obama running to be president of the 57 states. Actually, Obama’s 57 states would be agood idea. Then we would have a bunch more states to bail out the deadbeats. I nominate Switzerland, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia. They have lots of money. Can anybody nominate three more?
Old Country Boy on February 22, 2009 at 9:16 PM
I’ve listened to him for years. He’s been ranting like this…mostly conservative…the entire time. As an investor, I’ve actually learned quite a bit from him. Liesman is the lib.
genso on February 22, 2009 at 9:16 PM
Here is the full “forgotten man” quote:

Of course! Duh. Should have known; my bad.
College Prof on February 22, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Then you won’t get the joke.
fossten on February 22, 2009 at 9:17 PM
Absolutely. Also, this week, I’m planning on rabble rousing in my neighborhood against Obama. Let’s get this going!

Jet engine mech. on F-105s and C-130s. They told us just press the shiny buttons.
davidk on February 22, 2009 at 9:19 PM
It’ll only be enough once Jesus returns. Then there will be nothing left to do. Just help to clean up the mess.
JellyToast on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
My wife and I offer our prayers & thanks for your Husband’s service. We have family members serving too.
And no it isn’t enough! We need to keep pushing the President on the Stimulus. A lot isn’t scheduled to be spent for a couple of years. I don’t know how you get a law repealed, maybe the next Congress, but we have a right and an obligation to continue to speak out.
Kevin in Southern Illinois on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
was Lexington enough already?
TheSitRep on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Rick Santelli is spot-on. I hope he continues his rants and outrage regarding this unconstitutuional excuse for a Stimulus Bill.
sinsing on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
It’s not enough, but the movement needs more faces.
SouthernGent on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
You guys starting to sweat, maybe getting a little nervous hoping the jack-booted, brown-shirted ACORN thugs don’t pay you a visit? To bad Santelli didn’t wipe his arse with Obowels plan.
dmann on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
I guess not. The last movie I went to see was (gulp don’t laugh) “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. I just can’t spend two hours watching make believe.
Big Orange on February 22, 2009 at 9:20 PM
I stand corrected. The German thing was Animal House. How could I get such a high class, deep thinking movie, mixed up with Obama and the Democrats?
Old Country Boy on February 22, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Here is a video of Karl Denninger’s response to Olberman’s rant about Rick Santelli. Predictably Obly declared him his Worst Person in the World, a lofty honor in my book.
Denninger is exactly right.
More Santelli! We’re swirling the drain; righteous indignation is demanded.
flyfisher on February 22, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Absolutely! I have always said, one is a target, more than two is a team.
