WH lashes out at CNBC's Santelli

The White House is lashing out publicly and personally at a CNBC reporter whose attack on President Barack Obama’s anti-foreclosure plan caught fire on the Internet on Thursday.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs jumped at the chance to go after the CNBC journalist, Rick Santelli, when a question about his bracing critique was asked at Friday’s news briefing.

“I’ve watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school,” Gibbs said. “I think we left a few months ago the adage that if it was good for a derivatives trader that it was good for Main Street. I think the verdict is in on that,” the press secretary said, poking directly at the cable journalist, who reports from the trading floor at the Chicago Board of Trade.

Is Obama going to pick a personal fight with each and every conservative commentator?

Despite the Leftward slant of 95% of the journalists, that kind of 'tude is blood in the water for a shark.  They won't be able to resist going for the wounded seal for long, though they'll probably focus on Gibbs instead of Obama.

That's two private citizens now who have been called out for daring to question The One's plans. How many days into the administration are we?

Unbelievable....and yet, so believable.

Obama's America is so much fun!  :hyper: :whatever:

Now if I could just manage my post-election anger, I'll be all set.

Waiting for Santelli v. Obama in the SCOTUS for Fourth Amendment violations... it's only a matter of time before he's harrassed by someone at the state or federal level.

OTOH, this guy is essentially audit-proof now, any audit can be portrayed as a political hit.

Amazing how thin-skinned he is.  Imagine had Bush lashed out at his critics the way Obama does, and by name at that.
