Panic on the CNBC aisle!
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 11:30 AM by FrenchieCat
It's amazing to watch them on that channel right now!

They are trying to find reasons to criticize the Obama and the SEC move
without looking like they are part of the criminality....which they are.

Considering that they don't know what else is coming down the pike,
they basically have no choice but the STFU! Love it!


Oh yeah....remember this; no one is scared of Barack Obama.
Ok. We'll see. :rofl:

2. I'm sure the attitude is "Oh shit, we're fucked!"
And you gotta love watching the panic as they wait for the next shoe to drop.

4. I admire this President's patience.
Everyone gets to say what they want, and then when all is said, it's time to get things done!

And I appreciate the fact that Obama got all of his Sec folks in place, who then did their due diligence investigating while the markets became strong enough to withstand this, and now it seems
like it is SHOWTIME!
Love it!

8. Patience and TIMING. I wonder if going after Goldman was held off till now on purpose.
I know its a perfect way to introduce your case for sweeping financial reform.

24. I think it was all on purpose and planned
and suffering all the whining and screeching that Obama just doesn't do things fast enough.

Obama does it the right way, not the fast instant gratification way that some asswipes here want all served on their personalized platter. yah, do nothing corporate shill president. lol

6. Listening to them, I can see that they were caught off guard.....
they seem to be playing both sides.

Can't wait for Ratigan later today....
see what his fake ass has to say.
I'm sure he'll find ways of criticizing
the admin, since that is what he does
above all else!

16. he is actually easy to figure out
Pretend you are looking out for Everyman, criticize the Government and President, state that everyone should be thrown out, if you succeed...shut up when Republicans take control.

He is a tool.

7. Good, let them "pull a Cramer" and issue a buy recommendation for
a company that has just been accused of fraud by the U.S. Government! Go ahead Wall Streeters, BUY BUY BUY!!

CNBC's credibility is in the toilet (or on the toilet, whichever)
:hurts:

12. Just watch and enjoy.
They've had to throw today's talking point script out the window.
They are improvising.
In otherwords, we get to see them for who they really are
for a fleeting moment.

Just watch and see what is exposed.

There is always a smarminess about some of their commentators (the right wing ones).. I hope they are getting a good dose of reality..

20. Cramer carries Goldman Sachs' water
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 01:16 PM by Cali_Democrat
This tool was on TV the other day talking about how he wouldn't buy IPO's if Goldman Sachs wasn't doing the underwriting. As if they are the be-all end-all of the investing world.

He's nothing more than a tool that fights for the status quo and the large investment banks that are too big to fail.

23. Haha! CNBC is calling this politically motivated!
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 02:23 PM by FrenchieCat
Like duh. Seems like the Bail outs was the government bailing out the banks.
Seems like everything on wall street these days is directly related to politics.
What do these fools think brought the teabaggers to overexposure? Were they
complaining about politics and walls street converging then....when Santelli
started the Tea Parties right there on CNBC?

These folks have a lot of nerves...tell you that!
