‘Rent Is Too Damn High’ Guy Sparks Mayhem On Follow The Money Panel

For most of his short career in cable news, Jimmy McMillan has been showcased alone for his auctioneer’s voice and amazingly sculpted facial hair. Now that he’s running for president, however, he’s got to learn to play well with others, and on last night’s Follow the Money McMillan had to debate Eric Bolling‘s panel, including a confused Dr. Marc Lamont Hill who didn’t understand why McMillan was attacking him for holding the same views.

McMillan, who is also coincidentally starring in a new film about himself, Damn!, was attacking the Obama administration for the national debt and demanding that he “waive the people’s debt,” especially in light of how much of the debt came from bank bailouts. “You did this, Mr. Government,” he shouted, complaining that “there are accessories and there are necessities” and the government– and “Mr. Columbia Professor Whoever You Are”– were focusing on the accessories and not teaching about the necessities in school.

Mr. Columbia Professor Whoever You Are was taking a bit by surprise by this condemnation, as McMillan hadn’t really said anything that clashed with his opinion. “I thought we were on the same page,” a confused Dr. Hill replied, explaining that he too believed in waiving the people’s debt and focusing on necessities. Where Hill did have a problem, however, was with Bolling’s representation of a comment by David Plouffe as “nobody cares about jobs.” “That is a complete misrepresentation,” Hill argued, as the quote said that the election would not be won on unemployment numbers.

In the end, McMillan and Hill (and the rest of the panel) came to some consensus– that the American people were being “punked” by both parties. Hill and Bolling, however, ended the segment with a little dinner bet between them: that Plouffe would not be part of the Obama campaign team by November 2012.

This president doesn’t care about jobs. If I went to see him right now I bet I’d find him on the golf course or on the basketball court.
Jackyboy

No the president does care about jobs. He is just so bad at finding a solution is ineptitude seems deliberate even insidious.

Even Now The Rent Is Still Too Damn High!

What is their to say? The rent is not too damn high, the value of the dollar is too damn low!

I hope you folks got Gold, Silver, Oil Stock, Food Stock, Information, Food, and TEA!

By the way, what was the purpose of that law to outlaw some Gold sales? Was it to protect consumers or to protect the banks that really do not have the inventory for all that fiat gold they have been selling?

Or, was the commodities market undermining the value of the US Dollar?

Questions and plans within plans.

I applaud Mr. Boiles for booking Mr. Rent Too Damn High.

It goes to show the seriousness he dedicates to discuss the issues important to real Americans.

If only Fox could have more Boiles!

Boehner has pulled out of talks with Obamo, leaving the noose for the catastrophic economy right where it belongs…around Obamo’s neck.

Hey Fox Business, if you’re listening? I know you want Jerry Springer type ratings, but if I want to watch Jerry Springer I will turn it on Jerry Springer. This is suppose to be a business channel.

And the establishment still refuses to invite McMillan to the debates.

Nature Freak would like to make love to Jimmy McMillan’s facial hair.

Waive the debt of the people? What debts are those? Would they include debts owed to local buisnesses, or credit card companies? Is he talking about personal debt, or debt Obimbo and Congress have incured?
No, he’s talking about waiving debt incured through stupidity. Like buying a home you new full well you couldn’t afford.
Accessories and necessities? You have to be TAUGHT,

Oh lord, what next, brining in someone from Hollywood, or, even Oprah Winfrey for their opinion? Next thing you know we’ll have professional athletes on Political talk shows.

…………………………………………………
Which clip did you watch? Bolling did the standard “tea” mis-quote, got caught in his lie and was correct by your tweed jacket! Where do you people come up with this spin? The party of “no” is going run the country off the cliff, and “as you wish” blame Obama. Cross your fingers that nobody other than blind uninformed sheep and the rich tax breaks vote!
Skippy

I see Eric had trouble scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Absolutely RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!!! Especially anywhere along the coast of Calif. SF to SDiego. Solution join the millions of other ex-middle-class Americans who now live in their vehicles or tent cities. supply and demand is still in effect. If Landlords can not find a way to provide lower cost housing they can go out of business. IT IS THE AMERICAN WAY!!! The last depression things got so bad they were selling homes just for the back TAXES!!! That time is here again. Wait till the government is broke and can no longer just keep printing money. They will have to provide for the needs of the majority or go out of business, even the government cannot ignore the needs of the majority for long or they will themselves be out of business. It is the universal law of sewing and reaping. What goes around comes around. Keep screwing the average American and you yourself will find yourself totally screwed, by your own greed, ignorance, apathy and complacency. The bible states clearly “GOD is not mocked for whatsoever a man sows that does he also reap!!! It is only a matter of time. Your sins will find you out.
Rent TOO HIGH!!! THEN DO NOT PAY RENT FIND SOME OTHER ARRANGEMENT!!! THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING! It may mean living in your vehicle,it may mean joining a homeless community or tent city, it may mean starting your own “homeless city” SEE doglie.com and search on “tent cities”.

Edmund Samph this has absolutely nothing to do with your post, other than you mentioned my old stomping grounds, San Diego and Southern Cal. I remember living in Orange County in 1973, and RENT WAS TOO DANMN HIGH! back then. When hasn’t rent been too high in California? But it was high for a reason, everybody and their brother wanted to live there. I loved it, but I’m a Midwest man at heart.
