patriceclaire So the American people gets to bail out wall street, the banks, the auto industry, but when it comes to actually helping people who are in trouble with their homes because they had lost their job through no fault of their own or because of predatory lending-suddenly that is unacceptable. If you heard Obama at all, he mentions that we are all in this crisis together. Since when did we become a people where we scratch those backs that need money to keep a float,(wall street, banks) but when it comes down to scratching common folks back, you have those who are un-American, and down right selfish enough to cause a stink about it. The American people would not be in this position if the banks did their job and the people they hired were not so greedy. The notion that it is the American people's fault that all of this started is just plain ridicules. The sooner we can help some of these people that are on the verge of losing their homes, the sooner home values can rise again and those who are making their mortgage can see the value in their home that was not there before. They will get their money back either way you look at it. This is the right thing to do.

Firedoglake —
The Huffpo's Sam Stein picks up on the White House response to the CNB reporter Rick Santelli's irresponsible diatribe against the Administration's efforts to reduce the avalanche and misery of mortgage foreclosures.

Rick Santelli’s Rebel Yell: Capitalists Push Back
Right Soup —
Rick Santelli is riding on his awesome rant from yesterday which has captured the nation. He has put out the core issue for people on the street. People feel disenfranchised- they ARE disenfranchised- and many aren’t what you’d call “conservative.’ We may disagree on a lot, but we are still overwhelmingly capitalists. Paul Volker said today that that capitalism will survive “in some form” in America. We are saying “hell yes, it will, no thanks to you, Volker.”
Obama’s insufferable press secretary Robert Gibbs is obviously not pleased with Rick, and spanked ...
Sunday Talk - The Opiate of the Masses
Daily Kos —
As the first month of Barack Obama's Presidency comes to an end, a new Harris poll finds that he's bigger than Jesus. However, not everyone is a believer. Alan Keyes, for one, doesn't even believe that Obama is eligible to be President. And former derivatives trader and current CNBC analyst Rick Santelli doesn't believe in Obama's plan to keep "the losers" in their homes. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs doesn't believe that Mr. Santelli knows WTF he's talking about.

Barack Obama, Uber Alles
Hit & Run —
My old friend Robert Scheer, an old New Left stalwart, uses the F-word to describe Barack Obama's bank bailout: I don't think the idea of nationalizing, as it's now being called--which means bailing out these banks, setting them straight, then letting them go private again, which is the model that everybody is using, and the people who get screwed are the people whose retirement funds had common or preferred shares and they get wiped out, and these bankers come out richer than ever at the other end--that's not a leftist idea and it's not socialism. This is what we used to, in Comparative Economic Systems, call fascism. It's putting government at the service of ...
