The government intervention was very evident since last March when they propped up the sale of Bear-Sterns. Bernacke's rate cut to 0.25% will do nothing but promote inflation in the coming months and make the dollar weaker against foreign currencies. The FED seems to be promoting a CHEAP dollar to stimulate exports.

I forgot about this thread. Unfortunately, this link to Santelli on Drudge will probably be updated in a few hours... http://www.drudgereport.com/. But for now, he's the head story.

I loved it. We sure need more people to say what he did, because what he said is what a majority feel. All the polls showed more of the public against all these bailouts.
Go Rick, hopefully his voice won't be squashed now.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, middle class America is waking up and finding something terrible is smelling up our country. This redistribution of wealth is going to to harm our country. I for one am disgusted with this whole bailing out of the irresponsible.

"Dear CNBC,
Santelli is the man.
good day,
aston
p.s. The rest of you are morons."
That's an actual e-mail that a viewer just sent us, at 11:22 this morning. There are about 5,000 others just like it that have flooded our e-mail box since yesterday morning, when Rick Santelli issued the shot heard round the world. And that's just in the Squawk e-mail box. Close to 1.4 million people have relived the moment on CNBC.com ... hundreds of thousands more have checked out bootleg copies on YouTube and other Web sites.
One viewer sent us a special "Santelli For Senate" button he'd created. But he may have been shooting too low ... hundreds of others have written in "Santelli for President" ballots.
Still doubt that Rick touched a deep nerve with his rant against the homeowner bailout package? Check this out: Overnight on Facebook, his fans have come out in hordes. There's a "Tribute Group" to Rick Santelli (609 members); and a "Join the Chicago Tea Party" group (435 members); and "Rick Santelli for Man of the Year" (173 members).
Think it's easy to rack up members like that? Think again. At last check, the "I'm in Love With Becky Quick" group had exactly 0 members! (No kidding — I did not make this up!)
Editors Note: It bears noting that the "Becky Quick Rocks!" group on Facebook has 53 members. And from another Squawk Box e-mailer:

Seems like the White House has invited Santelli to Washington after he reviews their plan on the government website (which, apparently the vice-president doesn't know the correct URL). Gibbs had a very sharp tongue for Rick telling him he would buy him a cup of coffee -- decaf.
Rick appears serious on taking them up on their offer. He said he preferred tea.
The White House may not know what they're in for. I wouldn't underestimate Rick. And it may tick some folks off if they are dismissive of a reporter that simply calls 'em like he sees 'em.

I'd like to meet one person that is in charge of the country that is not a moron. Elections are popularity contests and marketing campaigns.

Obama hits back at 'tea party' rant
Spokesman says CNBC analyst should switch to drinking decaf
"Referring to the government's intervention in household mortgage contracts, the CNBC analyst said, "The philosophical issue is this: In America, a card laid is a card played. OK. Contract law should be sacred. I don't know that any form of government should be able to come between a person who contracted with an institution and a person that signed on the dotted line."

Actually most of this was also on TV yesterday and again is public record. Kinda like a disclaimer.
Just another example of BHO worrying about what a private citizen has said that conflicts with his beliefs or his welfare package. I believe he needs to stay on point and worry about the entire country instead of what a private citizen says by expressing his freedom of speech.
First Rush and now Rick, well Joe the plumber could be the first. This guy scares me, that he takes umbrage when a private citizen expresses a differing POV than he has. But then that's another step towards socialsm. I've never seen a President worry about so much about conflicting POV's than this guy.
He needs to put his and his peoples efforts towards solving this countries problems and not respond to a person doing something that the Constitution clearly allows. If he doesn't nothing will get resolved.
Rick better be careful or BHO will turn his thugs loose on him, this guy doesn't like to have anyone publicly disagree with him. I've noticed people are doing much more whispering than before, must be worried about big brother. Maybe the Pope sent word back to BHO via Pelosi, to worry more about the big picture.
