Participant[quote=capeman]afx- There’s been an immense amount of support for Santelli’s rant that has caused the White House to actually have to respond to it. 94% in favor.

[/quote]So we have a poll from the website of the network watched by Wall Street investors, the very network which broadcasted the rant in question. Can you say ‘echo chamber?’. I stand by my claim that Wall Street and The CNBC crowd are NOT Average Americans. This is the crux of Santelli’s argument, and exactly the issue I have with his rant. I don’t in general disagree with his argument, but the hypocrisy, gall, and venom displayed by this guy and Wall Street is pathetic.

ParticipantIt is pretty funny.
Funny in a way that an employee of a corporation that received 100s of billions of federal aid through the Fed and Treasury, surrounded by employees of corporations which received trillions of federal aid is complaining about some poor schmuck in Temecula who might be able to stay in his house now.
When Santelli’s buddies at CME were using Fed’s money to drive oil to $147 and screw America, he didn’t complain about subsidies then.
CNBC is a clown show. If you want financial news, watch Bloomberg TV.

Participant[quote=Russell]Gandalf,
It was all staged.. what Santelli did. That’s the joke. The guys on the floor were all prepped. It was obvious. The media as tool against Americans again. My guess is that it is intended to create good neighbor guy/bad neighbor guy diversion in the public. Baffle ’em with bullshit. Redirect any potential focus to the fleecing for the sake of the Financial Industry and pit us against one another once again. It’s Machavellian.That way whe the little guy gets shafted again we won’t notice because we were too focused on our upside down neighbor who in the end really doesn’t get much of value either.These people are trying to clown us. I started looking at it this way about 15 years ago. All of them, both parties are trying to clown us. See it, don’t be a victim and don’t hate the dolts who don’t see it, even if they are going to get a little loan mod or some other such handout of very little value.The following is not directed at anyone in particular just food for thought.
Quit crying and figure out how to improve your life within the realities of the surrounding circus.There are not enough people who really want to do something about it to make a difference otherwise.[/quote]Russ gets it.
