Santelli slams the Obama administration for playing the blame game over the downgrade to our credit rating, noting that even if you think it’s a bad call, you don’t beat up the other coach or take the umpire out behind the barn. And he also points out that without Tea Party, we would’ve had a clean debt ceiling increase and our credit rating would have likely been dropped even lower to BBB.

Listen to the end to hear his great analogy why we have a spending problem:

Great Sports Team Analogy - But Obama doesn't believe in American exceptionalism, so why should the S&P???? Now we're as good as every other AA, and really that is the change he promised.

Santelli is the man! The Truth! I wish he could run for something. This is what we need in a leader. A person who is not going to play the political games! Someone who will tell it like it is. This is Santelli. This is the Tea Party. We need a GOP nominee who will do the same. Romney? Pawlenty? Perry? Will they?

I know who will, but she hasn't announced and we don't know if she'll get in. But I hope the Lady from Wasilla does, because she has the same fire Rick Santelli has about our problems and about taking crap from the Left. We Leaders and we need a Leader for the people in the White House. 2012 can't come soon enough!

Hey troll, yeah you Bet Not, you might as well get used to the fact that you're going the live the rest of your days as a teabagee; the so called "teabaggers" are the only ones with enough balls to put a stop your socialistic-big-government agenda, and the more you whine and complain about the power of the tea party the stronger and more relevant it gets.

There is no reasoning with idiots who cannot comprehend that credit expansion is just a wider and deeper chasm of debt servitude than we currently are trapped in now.

Stupid is as stupid does... and we continue to re-elect these charlatans to represent our national interests?

It makes one wonder if Liberals know the meaning of sanity.

No, our President Obama will be in his second term, and actually getting something done, because he will be free from extortion.

Hah!

Gotta love Santelli.

The best voice of reason on CNBC.

The problem is....we don't have a 'good coach' like Santelli is suggesting.

We are stuck with Obama until we can drag him out of the White House kicking and screaming.

Was that Joe Kernan who yelled "Yeah!" to what Santelli was saying?

If so...then there is hope for him yet.

It was great how Santelli shut him up.

But an anvil would fix that croaking noise much better.
