Santelli: Why Doesn't Obama Go After Apple's Profits?
Real Clear Politics Video ^ | March 29, 2012

Posted on 03/29/2012 5:03:50 PM PDT by Hojczyk

CNBC's Rick Santelli:

"If I broke my right arm, am I going to pick a fight with the neighbor? No.

If I'm two months behind on my mortgage, am I going to go complain to the bank? Probably not.

But let's see, with gasoline approaching $5 a gallon, isn't this just a supreme time to pick a war with the energy people that are bringing us what already seems to be in the market's eyes in short supply?

Just like picking fights with China when the world's about ready to go into recession. There's a time and a place for everything.

And, by the way, all these profits Exxon's making, the administration doesn't like it. Well, what about Apple making a billion dollars a week, or Microsoft? I bet you if GM made a billion dollars a week, they wouldn't mind. Come on!"

LOL. Let's go Obummer. Time to go after those greedy 1%ers. I even have a chant for your Occupy drones to chant in front of Apple Headquarters. "Let's take another bite out of the Apple."

And of course Obama has no objections to his best gal pal being a BILLIONAIRE. Oprah.

And he doesn’t mind being a multi millionaire, himself...

Come on Holder, think of something.

1. Anti-trust.
2. Racketeering.
3. Commerce violations.

Something to get Apple in the tank for your side.

I don’t think Santelli is a politican. Besides, he’s trying to make a point; If Exxon is making too much money, then Apple is making wayyyyyyyyy too much money.
