Tirade Among the Traders - Time for Santelli to Go

Santelli Fans the Fires of Class Warfare

If CNBC wants to give Rick Santelli his own show where he can spend his time ranting in support of the bankers and wall street folks, that's just fine, but he should not be allowed to behave as he has in the guise of someone reporting the news from Wall Street.

To begin with he displayed a complete ignorance of the actual details of Obama's plan to do something about the mortgage meltdown and his tirade among the traders showed a man completely out of touch with the pain on main street.

President Obama has tried not to turn our nation's economic troubles into class warfare. It would be easy to do and completely counter productive. Santelli is fanning the embers and if the embers turn to flames, we'll all be burned.
