He’s right about the US being exceptional, but today, we have to get the communists out of the way first. That’s the first objective.

I agree with Rick, America is exceptional....though Obama will do everything he can to make sure we do not come back. He's on a quest to "fundamentally transform" this nation. Remember what Chewbacca said:

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

I actually agree with Rick, but I understand we first have to hit bottom before we can rebound. It really would be nice to have an objective press and media. That way it would shorten these recurring struggles with the inept and corrupt. If wishes were nuts and candy...

I agree with the premise, this time, however, the wound is deep, bloody, and then there is that pack of wolves bearing in...

The ego is enormous. Telling us what Barack will never allow.

FUBO (and Michelle, too)!

FUBO!!

You know sometimes I just want to grill Rick a nice porterhouse with steak fries and a few extremely cold beers!

He is going against Obummer again as he thinks we are an average nation. He thinks that Saudi is exceptional as that is where Obummer bows to daily.

Where does he live? What’s his home state and home CD..maybe we can draft him to run for something..

Rick Santelli is a Chicago floor trader/spokesman for CNBC. I think his title is much more in the Trading World.

He's the guy that almost single handily started the Tea Party movement after his comments on the first wave of bailouts.

By his accent I would assume he is from the Mid West although they claim not to have one.
