NRO Talks to CNBC's Rick Santelli

[Heard this video on the radio on the way into work yesterday and went and found it...]





National Review Online: Were you expecting anything like this reaction?

Rick Santelli: Not at all, not at all. It was just, after 48 hours of listening to hundreds of people trying to approach me on floors, on trains, everywhere, the opinions were almost unanimous, and I just tried to pick up that thread, and it just took on a life of its own.

NRO: When we posted a link to the video, we were swamped with e-mails in support, including a couple from traders at the Board of Trade in Chicago, who have been saying right on. How have the e-mails that you’ve been getting, how have they been running?

Santelli: I’ll be honest with you, I think I’ve gotten somewhere between 850-900, and I think I had three that were negative.

[Note the consistent condescension of the anchor personnel. Evidently if you don't subscribe to the new-socialist line there's something wrong with you. Don't believe it - we've no 'moral obligation' to bail our neighbors out, just the opposite; it's immoral to suggest it. Our obligation is to act responsibly ourselves and not become a burden to our fellow citizens, who do likewise.]
