The Soviet Union crumbled under the leadership of one man. We need to be very concerned that the United States as a super-power and economic leader could crumble under Obama.

Santonelli, you sure weren’t trying to start a revolution before under Bush when it came time for taxpayers to bail out Wall Street and all of those boisterous frat-boy jocks on the trading floor there in Chicago.

Look, Ricky, it doesn’t matter who the president is, once you start frightening other reporters on your own network by threatening to overthrow the government and putting a mob together with bricks and bats, you shouldn’t be too surprised when you find yourself on the government’s radar.

Not a big surprise there, bud. Duh!

Were his initials RE? The White House Chicago politician that has become Saul Alinsky Obama’s “boogey man”?

Don’t take it seriously…they are despicable just like the Chicago machine they came out of!

That is just the way they learned to do business…now they’ve brought it to Washington!

Makes us real Americans…real proud…of the class we now have in Washington running our country…yeah right!

==========================

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS BULLY THEM POLITICS INITIATED BY THE “HIT MAN”….RE!

Santelli not Santonelli

Just for the record, Breitbart misquoted Gibbs.

GIBBS DID NOT SAY:

“I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where his house is.”

“I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives,” Gibbs said during the daily briefing.

HIS HOME/ADDRESS NOT THE ISSUE   February 24th, 2009 - 5:08 pm

Article says: “[Gibbs] started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where his house is.”

Racerx says: ““I’m not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives,†Gibbs said during the daily briefing.”

WHAT DOES SANTELLI’S HOUSE OR ADDRESS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??? He was initially saying It is TIME for a new CHICAGO TEA PARTY! Why would GIBBS bring up Santelli’s HOUSE or ADDRESS, if not to harass the guy and try to make him nervous about security???

Isn’t that what Community Organizers do? Shake people down?

Tubby   February 24th, 2009 - 5:37 pm

“Where does he (Santelli) live, on what street?”

Mr. Santelli lives in the USA and what street he lives on should not matter.

The implication of Mr. Gibbs question is that just because someone might live in a neighborhood where people have accomplished things with their lives other than smokin weed and playing X-box all day while popping out kids they cant afford that the Federal Government should be able to confiscate their money and redistribute it to others for the sake of charity.

What is wrong with this government?

Sigmond   February 24th, 2009 - 5:38 pm

He better hope Obama’s pal Bill Ayres doesn’t send him a, uh, Candygram.

BigScott   February 24th, 2009 - 6:12 pm

Racerx – We all know you are a wimp, so quit while you are ahead.

And, BTW, Santelli’s got more balls than a pool table. The man speaks the truth.

Snowbunnie   February 24th, 2009 - 6:36 pm

Thank God for Rick Santelli!! He LIVES in America. And has the right to speak his mind.
And about time. Many thousands support the ideas of Rick Santelli because they are theirs as well. Many, many thousands. Millions. Mr. Obama was not elected by ALL the electorate. He did win but there are 58 million people who did not vote for him for one reason or other.
In the last 30 days we have many more reasons to oppose this administration. Mr. Santelli merely voiced those concerns and millions support those thoughts, ideas and Mr. Santelli’s right to express them. Mr. Gibbs was out of line, regardless of the semantics regarding which way he said the words, the INTENT was unmistakable: A threat.

racerx   February 24th, 2009 - 7:02 pm

Santelli sounds like a whiny child crying on Libby’s shoulder. Booh hoo! LMAO)

The Clinger   February 24th, 2009 - 7:10 pm

That anyone is surprised about such a veiled threat is indicative of a biased press not reporting the true reality of Chicago politics and a public not inclined to believe or pursue the truth of the Chicago politicians. Chicago is the community of the Marxist Community Saul Alinsky that further defines the true inclination of the present administration and the Dems. ObomoNation said he learned more from his time as a Community Organizer that he learned anywhere else. And further with the associations with the likes of Bill Ayres why in the world would anyone be surprised.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 24th, 2009 - 8:09 pm

I have read about this on other comments, but it is a real eye opener.

I got the link from Drudge and it is an article appearing in World Net Daily…here is the link to read it yourself.

It is about the issue of the birth certificate and the authenticity of whether or not we have a “real†authentic President according to our Constitution.

Everyone needs to see this.

There is also a place for you to sign the petition saying you want to see it too!…..PLEASE SIGN IT!

http://www.wnd.com/static/89837.html

This is one brave soldier to bring the birth certificate issue of his Commander n Chief to the forefront. He is questioning saluting a man who is not qualified to be in the office and wants him to prove it once and for all.

God Bless Him for doing it when others in the Congress were too wishy washy to do so!

Misty   February 24th, 2009 - 11:04 pm

Rick Santelli’s rant resonated with millions of Americans who share his sentiment. He has every right to critize this administration and the way they are dealing with our financial mess.

Racerx, you are a liar and incapable of understanding what this is all about. I don’t think Santelli is trying to overthrow the government. You apparently subscribe to the thug tactics used by the Obamba administration. Contrary to liberal opinion, he is not God and we are free to cricize him if we disagree with his socialist philosophies. What is happening in America is an abomination and conservatives like myself will work hard in the next election to see that he does not serve another 4 years as our leader. A leader who preached hope and change has now resorted to gloom, doom, despair and catastrophe. This does nothing to restore consumer confidence. Wake up Americans, you’re losing your liberty.

Stymie   February 24th, 2009 - 11:22 pm

Every US citizen is on BO’s radar. Instead of bailout checks, RE wants to send everyone a dead fish. It’s fitting…

Dear Leader is a “mackerel in the moonlight.”

Fine for you guys to call somebody a kool aid drinker.Breitbarf play you right wing sheeple like a fiddle.They throw you a snippet of a statement knowing you are to stupid to go some where else and look at or read the whole thing.Like the showed a snippet of an interview with Matt Lauer and Barack Hussein Obama.Lauer mention that Obama had been left out of a picture of his family in a magazine.Jessica Simpson was on the cover also.Breitbarf tried to make it seem as if Obama said something about Simpsons weight, when he was only reading from the title of the article. They do it all the time.This probably will go into pending moderation.Right wingers don,t like dissent.

Kermit   February 25th, 2009 - 10:57 am

Rick is milking this non-issue for his fifteen minutes of monotony. If any of you cared to actually watch Rick’s caffeinated rant on CNBC, he was framing the stimulus debate in terms of ‘ paying for your neighbor’s morgage -your neighbor with extra rooms they couldn’t afford’ something to that effect. The men on the floor were not taking Rick seriously -indeed they were interrupting him at every opportunity – because his a self-aggrandizing rebel rouser. He wasn’t out stirring shite when he got his big tax cut which is now a part of our trillion dollar deficit now, was he? At any rate, the press secretary prefaced his comments in the context of- what was inferred was- ‘ i don’t know what neighborhood he lives in but most people are not living in neighborhoods where all their neighbors are living in houses that they cannot afford with extra additions they cannot afford’. To paraphrase that conversation in any other way is another transparent poop perpetuation started up over at Fox News. Glenn ,what’s his hemorrhoid, is talking civil war and his lap dog Rick is trying to tap in another tent peg. The internet meme almost works because, judging from the commentary from all the ignoramus drudge dunces – some people are incapable of objectivity. They think critical thinking is a diatribe of talking points about some one or a party that they would rather designate blame on. You idiots you should be talking about the trillion dollar deficit created by George W’s tax cut to the wealthiest. Then move over to the “war on terror” but before you do, please revisit 1. Operation Ajax 2. the Ian Contra Affair and 3. the ” War on Terror”.
Then-once you’ve educated yourself with where this deficit came from- the glut of military industrialists and petroleum industrialists- come back and try and project something unsavory upon the office of the elected president of our great country. Now you will at least be capable of having a debate- right now you are willfully blinded and without a single limb to point with.

LOFL, sheeple huh jamalx? Last I checked jamalx, it’s liberals like yourself who are the real “SHEEPLE” in this country. To Breitbart’s credit he gives out the facts and the truth, something left wing sheeple like you jamalx are unable to grasp and get through your head. Keep living in your wives-tale word jamalx and continue to get the lies and BS that your friends in the illiberal media and press spoon-feed you on a daily basis.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

Hey Kermit, this recession, which is STILL not worse then Jimmy Carters, started with the Community Reinvestment Acts from a55hole presidents Carter and Clinton.
You can’t force banks, under threat of law, to loan money to people on unemployment and welfare, and then blame the banks for their failure. The corrupt Barney suck-a-Frank and Chris Dodd, along with the communist Maxine Waters, visciously attacked, (with charges of racism, of course), the Bush administration on each of the 17 recorded attempts to stop this stupidity. This was a purposeful attack on capitalism by communists in our own government, so they could do exactly what they are doing now, period, and if you don’t think so, you should educate yourself before attecking others with your leftist America is always wrong, give more money to the great unwashed scum, attitude.

What Else do YOU expect from a STALINISTIC LIBERAL .
I see him doing everything Woodrow Wilson did <
You liberals say fascism won’t happen here or the republicans will do it ,or it hasn’t happened here , Study YOUR History WOODROW WILSON (a Proggressive) DI JUST WHAT YOU CLAM YOU DONT LIKE.

Another “active duty” serviceman questions the validity of the birth certificate of Saul Alinsky Obama.

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89941

America, the truth will always come out eventually.

Keep em coming…members of Congress should have asked for this documentation…it was their right and their duty under the Constitution to make him prove it…they are all too wishy washy to stand up and be counted for America…they will be held accountable.

There is a real reason why Saul Alinsky Obama is hiding his birth…pays hundreds of thousands of legal dollars to keep it hidden under lock and key…why…America…why?

And now it take the bravery of young men in the military who are questioning the validity of saluting and obeying a Commander n’ Chief who has not proven he is officially their Commander.

Bravo to those men!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 26th, 2009 - 1:00 am

America…we cannot give up on the birth certificate it means more than we know. I received this post earlier in another spot and wanted to post it for all of you because you are a part of this effort.

My original post was about the (2) active duty soldiers who are questioning the validity of the President’s birth.

The article posted on World Net Daily on 2/26/09.

There is also a place for you to sign the petition…please do so!

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION IF YOU FEEL THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS IMPORTANT, AND SHOULD BE REVEALED!

========================

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty

As a person that can’t speak out at the time due to my oath. I’m sure you will understand. I thank you for what you are doing. We are watching that petition every day. Keep it up and you will see true defenders of our Constitution take action. Stop now and we will be crucified before we get moving. We need your help to get the momentum rolling on this issue or we will not see resolution until its to late. When there is enough momentum to succeed you will have your resolution. Stop short and you’ll be squashed.

Article II Section one:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Good luck and God bless America.
