Editor's note: This now seems like much ado about nothing, but it still would be nice to get the original footage of CNBC.
Yesterday, probably on CNBC's "Power Lunch," they cut to Bush speaking supposedly on oil. Instead of a speech on oil, however, Bush pulled a fast one and started plugging his Social Security debacle. CNBC apologized and cut away from the speech when they realized he would not be speaking about oil, but not before he flipped out on old people in the crowd. Bush was met by a chorus of boos from Social Security reform "opponents" and the Chimp let his temper get the best of him. He snapped back, "You'll get your checks!" and was visibly angry and irritated.

I have not seen the video, and have not been able to track a clip down. www.crooksandliars.com is interested in hosting it. We have been searching for the last 20 hours, and nobody can come up with a clip. There is a thread on DU about this here:

Please, if you have TiVo or a recording of this show, send it here. This video could prove useful in helping to kill Bush's credibility with retirees and people about to retire. We need to find this video and media blast it to all locations, and give it to the AARP to send out in e-mails. SOMEONE"S GOT TO HAVE IT!!! Even if you don't, recommend this so that someone who does will see it!
Thanks,
