CNBC's Rick Santelli Ponders "Veiled Threat" Against Him After "Chicago Tea Party"
ButAsForMe.com ^ | 02/24/2009 | wrrock

Santelli did not like the remarks by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and even pondered if it was a ‘Veiled Threat’ by making a bizarre reference to "not knowing where Mr. Santelli lives, or in what house he lives."

Listen here...

Glad to see Santelli keeping the pressure on Obama!

This is just the latest example of Gibbs being in way over his head, even farther than his boss actually.

Veiled?

That’s not how I heard it.

I just want him to know he has at least one “safe house” available to him in Virgnia, should he find it necessary to “lay low” for a while. I’ll be happy to host him!

It was pretty obvious Gibbs intended to send some of the boys over to pull Santelli’s arms and legs off, but what the heck ~ that’s what you get when you put a Chicago pol’ in charge of the White House.

I don’t blame Santelli for not understanding Gibb’s remark. Gibbs is an idiot!

Yeah, I didn’t exactly notice the “veil” either. it must have been close to transparent.

Yeah, I thought it sounded like a threat when I first heard it last week.

I think Santelli understood it quite well.

Compared to the 5 years of caterwauling from the left over the imaginary White House vendetta against Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson, the left seems rather complacent that a private citizen - an CNBC guest - is being personally ridiculed from the podium in the White House press room.

with Obama’s band of Clintonista henchmen he had best stay out of dark places. They do have a sordid history.

Santelli has more support that he knows. Although, I do believe he is a short-timer at CNBC. They will not tolerate someone off the Obama reservation. Watch for Santelli to show up at Fox Business real soon.
