Santelli: If it wasn’t for the Tea Party we’d be rated BBB
The Right Scoop ^ | 8 Aug 2011 | Rick Santelli et al

Posted on 08/08/2011 2:29:22 PM PDT by combat_boots

Santelli slams the Obama administration for playing the blame game over the downgrade to our credit rating, noting that even if you think it’s a bad call, you don’t beat up the other coach or take the umpire out behind the barn. And he also points out that without Tea Party, we would’ve had a clean debt ceiling increase and our credit rating would have likely been dropped even lower to BBB.

Listen to the end to hear his great analogy why we have a spending problem:

I don’t watch much TV, esp. the news - but if the rest of Santelli is as good as his clips I see here, that guy is awesome!!

May GOD BLESS RICK SANTELLI!!! He has been a True American Hero! The Rating Organizations know Obama is destroying America Intentionally with 1.6 to 2 Trillion dollar Increases in the Federal Debt projected for the Next Ten Years under this Muslim Terrorist posing as the Legitimate POTUS! CHINA is going to Crash AMERICA’s Economy in the next year because of this Massive Fraud!! A major question to ask! How much influence did China and Russia have in the Election of Obama HUSSEIN and his Dirtball Sponsor, George Soros???? Obama has made fortunes for Soros in his first two years in office, and You can bet China KNOWS every little corrupt secret about this Phantom, Obama HUSSEIN!!!
PUTIN certainly does as well! for Obama is an amateur in the real world of Professionals!! His negotiating skills and work ethic SUCKS!!! Obama is an Obvious BUFFOON!!

Oh! Great idea!

Can we all just imagine a guy like this at Treasury? Doing things to HELP the economy? With experience on the trading floor?

That was awesome! I said the same exact thing to my husband in regards to spending. Say I decided to go out and spend, spend, and spend some more and came home and told him, “honey, you need to get another job because I just spent more than our budget allowed and I don’t intend to stop ever” he would tell me to take a walk. That is the perfect analogy!

That guy he was talking to has his head wedged so far up his behind it’s incredible! That guy actually believes that our credit is just as good as it was 5 years ago before Obama started spending like the fool that he is. Give me a huge break on that one!

Funny in a sad way! Equated Obama with slapping the umpire and kicking the other team’s coach when the game didn’t go his way! SO FUNNY YET SO RIGHT ON!

He's right. The push of members of the Tea Party to keep taxes from increasing, and hold down/stop abnormal, extraordinary, unwarrented government spending is what saved us from a worse fate.

I am so tired of people branding the patriots of the TEA movement in critical, hate filled terms.

If this were the days of the American Revolution I bet the liberal Dems would be supporting and feeling sorry for old King George. They would be ranting and blaming the discontents for the sufferings of the war fought to make us free from the bondage of serfdom and taxation. And, after our success they would be faulting the Revolutionary Army and George Washington for having saved this country from tyranny and freeing it for our people, our independence, our growth, and our future.

Rick Santelli is the voice of pure reason on the economy, OBummer and his minions are the voice of pure ignorance and stupidity.

Hopefully he will be Secretary of the Treasury in a conservative Republican administration.

Thank you. Santelli is like a cool breeze after a hot day, even the one before a storm. For a moment, it feels like your whole body soaks in the wind and your eyes close to blot away and dust off leafy fragments of grass. His words encourage you to turn into the wind, not away from it.

Wonderful description! I’ll never forget his call for a TEA Party!

He’s couldn’t be more correct again today!

The sociopathic Commies, Marxists and media syophants are all looking to blame S&P, OUR TEA Party Patriots and anyone else they possibly can, but this is obama’s economy.

He owns it. It’s HIS administration.

He took full credit for killing Bin Laden!

This is the way it works, anti-American thugs and PUNKS.
