Santelli

A reader sent me a wonderful exchange between a pro-Obama "intellectual" and a citizen who questioned him all along - which I am formatting - to make it anonymous - for Saturday.
As a placeholder I post the "rant heard round the world":

Though now seen by everyone - I have a few notes:
1. It is delightful and somewhat inspiring to see a professional lambaste El Presidente with such passion. This type of rant makes me happy to be American. And no, I don't agree with all of it. But after the uniform Obama Adoration Complex Media Assault we endured for all of 2008 I love seeing this guy pop off.
2. Santelli's statement that the bit of Exchange floor he's standing in is a "cross section of America" is absurd. I did not see one non white face on the clip - or a woman, or a laborer, or...or..or...

It seems Obama is making things worse - but lets be honest - Wall Street is awash with culpability here. I am not a socialist, or a libertarian or an unreconstructed capitalist. (Greed is not good.) I am an FDR liberal. The government must take action. Sadly, the action Obama's Democrats are taking is about paying off constituencies, rewarding criminal enterprises like Freddie and Fannie, and punishing good behavior.

Regardless, whoever loudly points out that the Emperor is naked right now is fine by me.

Finally, a pointed little paragraph from from Fred Barnes:
Obama, the market killer. The Dow fell 332.13 points on inauguration day, 381.99 points on the day Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner announced step two in the bank bailout, and 297.91 points when the president signed the stimulus bill three days ago. Financial markets are a bet on the future. The market's view is that an Obamanomics-driven economy looks grim.

I wish thoughtful liberals were circling the wagons now. But I'll take what I can get.

Strap yourselves in.
