Noticed CNBC does not have a thing about Matt Lauer calling out Santelli on his

accusing the WH of threatening him. He squirms like a worm when he is hit with the question if he was really serious about it.

1. What a loser.

I can call out the President but his press secretary can't call me out.

Oh wait, sure he can, but he has to do it to my face, even though I did it yelling and screaming like an idiot on a TV station and on an Exchange floor surrounded by people that can drive the Markets one way or the other on a 'feeling' or whim.

These guys are pieces of shit. I hate them. They are a cancer to this country because they are the ones that are in the drivers seat for turning this thing around. Their personal agenda and opinions (and there are dozens every day on that channel) are helping to shape this economy.

Oh, More talk of Santelli and his tyrade. It's like CNBC is a club or something. I wish someone woud buy them out and shut them down.

2. so this reporter guy is a victim of the Obama administration??? good god

3. So his Wife is scared/offended?

Whatever. Tell her to Call Michelle Obama and see how she feels right about now. You think one little comment makes you feel uneasy? What a waste of space.

4. Santelli's outrage over the Gibb's comment is just downright disingeneous

Any moron could watch that video and clearly see that Gibb's was referring to his economic status.

It was not a call-out. It was Gibbs making the point that the monied world where Santelli resides -- most likely the super rich Westchester County, where his wife plays tennis at the local country club -- is not the world that most Americans are living in right now.

The fact that he continues to repeat that it was some kind of threat destroys an iota of credibility he may have had one point.

And frankly, it's unethical and unprofessional for NBC to continue to push their reporter as the story.
