I’m white, male, unemployed and scraping for every dollar I can make just to pay the monthlys and food.

Ya, I’m freaked out. Freaked that letters from the IRS will be showing up in my mailbox anytime now demanding some of what I don’t have to give them AND freaked out that anything extra I could give them would be just pissed away.

You are right and it is backfiring on them.

She believes she is omniscient because she once copied someone else's good idea and took credit for it because she was more telegenic than he was.

Millions of gullible people are eating out of her hand.

Yeah, I forgot about that little enclave of Progs in Tx (that and most of south Houston).

LOL

Two things:

First, Meredith Whitney has been dead wrong on her forecasts and recommendations. If you want to make money you will need to do the opposite of her recommendations. Hence, Santelli’s question as to how many municipalities have defaulted on their bonds this year. It is well below last year, yet, Whitney had forecasted a significant increase in defaults.

Second, what ticked me off is the CNBC stooges who were hosting this program. Joe Kernen, you were one of them, who simply sat there and said nothing in response to her attack. It took several minutes for Santelli to come on the air from the Chicago trading pit for someone to give this idiot “what for”.

These people haven’t a clue as to who or what the Tea Party is.

That's exactly right. Most of them are mentally AND emotionally incapable of understanding what it's all about. I'd call it a fatal blindness.

OK, I’ll ask, who is Merideth Whitney, and why is she such a stupid bitch?

Meredith Whitney is an embarrassment to blonds world-wide.

Clueless talking head.

I wonder what kind of reaction a political headline that contained the words “Freaked Out Black Men” would create? Oh, I think I know the answer.

Aren't freaked out black men rioting all over the world right now...I think she is picking on the wrong race...the racist beotch. Blacks are being violent at the moment not the Tea Party or the Amish...her projecting is comical.

I must live on an alternative planet. Whitney is saying that extending unemployment benefits is a BAD thing (the same position that Rush takes) because it is healthy for the breadwinner, family, etc. for the person to work.

She is clearly taking the White House to task for their approach.

The comment about angry white men is metaphorical, not literal.

In her previous appearances she pretty much puts the blame on spending, and as far I can remember, doesn’t say the problem is a lack of taxes.

I think everyone is mis-interpreting her comments. I love Santelli but he missed what she really was saying.

The comment about municipal defaults was better suited to an elementary school recess. We just had a high profile Muni default in Rhode Island last week.
