Last week we witnessed the sad spectacle of the president’s press secretary attacking Rick Santelli, a reporter who made the mistake of disagreeing with part of the president’s “stimulus” plan.
“This is a copy of the President’s home affordability plan,” Gibbs drawled. “It’s available on the White House web site, and I would encourage him (to) download it. Hit print, and begin to read it.
Santelli responded in an interview with Larry Kudlow. And he responded with all the passion of his earlier comments.
“The 92% of the Americans that are paying their loan on time,” Santelli said, “do you think there’s no pain there? These people are probably cutting back, their 401(k)s are down. It’s tough. Just because they’re making their payment and they’re current, doesn’t mean they’re not cutting back as well.
“Do we want to teach our children that you can get out of a mistake and that there are do-overs?” he asked. “I just don’t think that’s American. And I read it and guess what? I still don’t like it.”
We don’t know what Robert Gibbs wants to teach his children. But we’d suggest he use part of his substantial salary to hire them a math tutor so they don’t end up as bad with numbers as their old man.
