Rick Santelli cuts loose and speaks his mind about the Obama administration and the state of the economy, the bailouts, etc. I have to say if there's one thing that the globalists have underestimated, it's the will of Italian Americans. "Leave the gun. Take the cannollis."
Don't tread on us, baby.

The CNBC clip that started it all.

You may have heard about Rick Santelli’s rant on CNBC last week. I think he speaks for a lot of people, regarding the bailout. It may be that our government is moving in the direction of being a mother to us all. Making sure that we do not stumble or make mistakes, or if we do make mistakes we are coddled and consoled.How about facing the consequences of our mistakes, and making sure we do not make the same mistake again. I can tell you I have made many mistakes in my life, and each time I pay a price for my mistake, I learn a valuable life lesson. The most important lesson is to not make that same mistake again.I would be interested in your comments on this subject, am I and Rick Santelli islands on this issue.Here is the main point, when in our recent history have you seen the government perform in an excellent manner. Here is one answer, our military, I will give them credit, they do a great job. Are there any others you can think of.When was the last time you were at the post office? Were you inspired by the commitment to serving the public by the people employed there?

I'm sure you've seen Rick Santelli of CNBC on-air freakout over President Obama's plan to bail out some homeowners who are facing foreclosure.Why is he so enraged about actually helping real people? Rick Santelli should be angry as hell about Wall Street getting the bulk of the assistance instead of the regular working folks! His anger seems to be both belated & displaced.Not to mention completely unprofessional! Here's one opinion from Air America on Rick Santelli's "rant of the year":

"Remember when the TV weatherman was the goofy whackster? The loud-mouthed buffoon. The oafish goofball. That was then. Enter the formerly staid financial analyst in the media clown circus.

CNBC's Rick Santelli is the latest example and Exhibit A of the decline of rational commentary, critical thinking and the move of "news" programmers to showcase the showboaters and the loud-mouthed, obstreperous analysts whose sole goal is not to elucidate or educate or even illuminate, but to make YouTube. We saw it first with Jim Kramer the mad man anent mad money. Kramer made the nervous breakdown an art form. Wrong about virtually every prognostication, Kramer wowed us with histrionics and arm-flailing. Think Travis the Chimp on meth. Who cares if virtually every stab at financial and market augury was erroneous, Kramer delivered his baleful bleats daily and on cue.

Enter CNBC's Santelli. Not to be outdone, I suspect he huddled with his agent and concocted his new version of "Son of Kramer," a new and improved version of Jimmy Boy. His video went viral. From the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, Santelli plead with President Obama to reconsider mortgage bailouts. It was classic. Kramer must have seethed with envy. This was good. And Santelli joins the roster of other whacky financial types. There's the perpetually gruff Mark Haines, also from CNBC, who looks like he's shaking off the effects of a katzenjammer. Cutesy-cutesy Erin Burnett (also CNBC). Poor Neil Cavuto, Fox's whatever. CNBC has redefined financial rep
