I just tried watching CNBC.
Who is that screaming head? He was bombastic and the epitome of a Gordon Gecko wannabe. He was dead set against nationalization of the banks. He was adamant that this administration lacked the business acumen and common sense that the last administration had.

What a moron. I now have all the information about the financial crisis I need. If this guy is for it, I'm against it. If he is against it. It must be a brilliant idea.

16. Oh I agree.
My dad always said that those who know the secret aren't telling. If these guys really knew anything about the stock market, they would make their money their instead of shilling for the assholes at GE.

8. They really have gone downhill and fast.
They are supposed to cheerlead for the markets, that is getting ordinary people to buy stocks. I think people are wising up. It's a rigged casino.

10. CNBC Partly Resonsible for Meltdown
I hope they start getting called out, like Greenspan finally is.

13. Thank god we did not lose that election.
I don't even like thinking about it. It makes enduring these pukes just a little easier.

14. Oh yes, the business acumen of our MBA president
Who left office with the Dow lower than when he seized power. And here Obama has had a whole month to reverse eight years of financial skullduggery, much of which is still below the surface, and we aren't all millionaires at the Big Rock Candy Mountain. It's an outrage, I tells ya!

19. They have long been a bunch of shills for corporations' and millionaires' wealth protection...
They totally ignore anyone's interest unless it will result in more wealth and more benefits flowing to the richest in our society.
