The banner at the start of the CNBC segment reads “What’s the Deal?” And that’s a question some viewers may have asked by the end of the segment after watching CNBC’s Rick Santelli go very nearly grandma-punching crazy in a segment about spending and the debt ceiling. “I don’t believe in compromise on spending,” Santelli shouted. “There’s no compromise. Stop spending.” And from there it got weirder. Referring to a comment from Warren Buffet about the debt ceiling negotiations referring to the negotiations as a game of Russian roulette, Santelli said “there’s a bullet in the gun.

Rick just proves that there are some thinking people here in the Chicago area, and we can always count on him to hit the nail right on the head. I know a stockbroker who knows him, and he said he is just like that in real life.
Rick rocks!
If that sounds weird to this writer then that tells us all we need to know about where he's coming from.
Rick Santelli go very nearly grandma-punching crazy
That's close to slander.
“If not now, when?”
This is the line we should all be saying because it truly is the time. If they don’t stop this out of control spending now, will it ever happen? And then what?
I love to watch him. I daytrade and try to watch as much CNBC as I can get away with. Rick is worth his salary.
Mediaite sucks. Their commentary is always infantile and idiotic.
Ref. your Post #24: I agree. That should be our battle cry:
IF NOT NOW; WHEN?
Gotta love Rick's Rants. First he gave us the modern Tea Party, and now a vision of Tax & Spend as "Democrat Roulette". Sure hope someone with a national voice can pick up on that...
Rick Santelli for Fed Chairman. (Hear that GOP candidate?)
Santelli is a modern day Thomas Paine.
....needs bumping
Again from the Father of the Tea Pary.
Awesome!
Santelli 2012!!!!!!!!!
