Rick Santelli, an editor for the business news channel CNBC, <ref>http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837966/</ref> said of Obama's mortgage bailout plan, "The government is promoting bad behavior!" <ref>http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-sun-phil-rosenthal-22feb22,0,7002362.column</ref> Santelli also compared the Obama administration's policies to the ones that destroyed the Communist Cuban economy. Santelli called for capitalists to join for a "Chicago Tea Party" to protest the "collectivist" mortgage plan. Santelli's impromptu speech became a hit and over a million people viewed it soon after it appeared on CNBC's site.
