Some ASS on CNBC
Just said the Market is voting no on the new Administration. He just said there is no bottom in sight, and we're facing massive tax increases. WHO IS FACING MASSIVE TAX INCREASES?! YOU ARE FUCKING RICH BASTARD. People, these people running your financial system are GOP right wing pigs. The economy can almost not possibly get better, because even if something good happens, good news comes out, they'll bring on some chimp to spout to the viewers how horrible something else is, and it will continue to go down.

THE WHITEHOUSE NEEDS TO GET OUT THERE AND START PUMPING THE GOOD. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING. THEY NEED TO GET IT OUT THERE. MAKE THESE PIGS EAT IT! FIRE YOUR ADVISOR IF THEY ARE LINKED TO THESE PUKES.

30. Legally Treason would involve outside involvement with other Countries
and since the CNBC monetary talking heads are trying to influence public opinion, they are also pulling in other financial considerations in other Countries. Their aim to see Obama fail is apparent. The result would be disastrous outside the boundaries of our Country as well. And don't think for one minute that people with large sums of money and investments don't have ties outside this Country although by using the word treason, I firstly meant it in regards to turning over our Country by revolt.

29. Absolutely true
That's the whole point of conflating financial markets with economic production. It's partial camouflage.

16. He was the most outrageous ass I've seen on CBS
in a long parade of outrageous asses. Every other word was OBAMA. The markets hate Obama. Obama doesn't know. Obama doesn't care. Obama's people don't have a clue. Obama is destroying the economy.

And dumbass Harry played right along with this obvious hired hand. Beyond disgusting.

It reminded me of those days when every military "advisor" was a hired hand on the network news with some brave rah rah talking point about the war.

I expect to see more of these...

23. Buchanan saying the same on MSNBC this am
and claiming Obama is a failure. Yes, a failure. Less than two months, and Buchanan says he's a failure.
Of course, this is Pat Buchanan. Not exactly a guy who would know what it's like to win.

7. Let it crash all the way...
Then Obama can step in and SOCIALIZE and nationalize everything to protect 'We The People' from the Wealthy Elite's tilted system.

For entertainment, we would all get to sit back and watch Greasy Fat Rich Bastards go nuts and explode everywhere.

9. Corporate "personhood" is our biggest threat
Young people don't know this, but there was a time, when the only "news" about the "market" was an occasional blurb at the END of the nightly newscast, and a few pages of the newspaper, right before the classified ads..

But then businesses back then were not the predatory behemoths they are now..:(

11. If CNBC is on, I guarantee you that there is an ASS speaking
Outside the rare occasions when they play straight speeches or something, CNBC is nothing more than mouthpiece for the bosses. It is a flack organization from start to finish.

13. Stocks started to tank under *,
and they continue to tank under Obama. Would the CNBC ass-hat suggest the market has been voting no on both administrations? It would seem they've been opposite approaches....

18. Memo to ASS on CNBC:
No, the market is not voting on the new administration. The people did that last November and the polls say that that, collectively, the people feel even more strongly about the new administration today.

What the market is doing is reacting to the malfeasance of the market makers, bankers and derivative brokers over the last decade or so, coupled with the irritating and incessant bullshit coming out of gasbags like you on irresponsible networks like CNBC. What do I mean irresponsible? I mean a network that would fall for an organized, professional PR campaign that resulted in a staged rant from a little known (and rightly so) mini gasbag named Rick Santelli... faux outrage used to be the province of Faux News and Rush Limpballs, but not anymore I guess.

So you at CNBC, along with your friends Limpballs, Dobbs, Beck, Cramer, Scarborough and others that simply want to rehash the same old, failed supply side, trickle down economics and uncontrolled greed that got us into this mess... by all means carry on. It is clear that most of the public isn't listening and the audience of ditto heads you have left isn't big enough to matter much any more.

That is all.

28. But their afraid these geniuses will go somewhere else!
Geniuses, my ass first of all. The corporate turds couldn't save themselves, how genius are they. Plus...where you gonna go!! It's a Global Recession. Go to Russia and the Government will not only come in and take your job, but they might just take your house and maybe your wife too. Why? Because the can. Suck it up and do your part Wall Street Execs.

22. You know
I'm going to go on ETrades and buy stock in a Hollywood Studio. Seriously - that's a nice easy way to stick it to the 'man'. And they WERE just saying how great the Movies are doing. And being the shills they are for the Republicans and their 'anti-Hollywood meme' - it's just my little way in my little corner of the world to stick it to the man.

27. My Wife and I work for the same company and just (now) got a pay cut.
Yes, minutes ago. 401k match gone. PTO payout gone. They cut 5 people, luckily neither of us. I'm glad I have job, but it irratates me this fat ass rich motherfucker is complaining (lying actually while he's doing it) because he feels that the Amercian elite can endure a Tax increase to help the country. How about your workers quit on your ass. How will your livelyhood look then. Then CNBC spouts end of the world, it's Obama's fault. The people need to take back this country from these pigs. My 401 will be haulted, so I won't be investing. It helps feed the downfall, but maybe they'll realize the RICH need to prop up the non-rich for a while. Even if it's %100.00 tax for a year. Tell Manny Ramirez to Fuck himself while he's at it. It's our only escape I know, but people need to quit showing up for pro Sports. I LOVE sports. But it's too much. These guys can live on 6 figures for a while!!
