    It was great to see all the PF bloggers band together to defend PT and Briana!

    Thanks for posting J. Can’t believe she went as far as she did, but I’m so glad everyone stood up for each other.

    I’ve been following this on all the blogs and twitter. I can’t believe Suze would stoop so low with some of her twitter retorts (or really the card itself…). Shame. Point for PF bloggers!

    Briana did a great job and I’m proud to see the voice that the crew from FINCON carries. Great work!

    We’re all a big family! Gotta watch each others’ backs as there’s a lot of crazies out there ;) Good lookin’ out, y’all.

    (And I’m going to go check out Bridget’s post too, thanks Cassie!)

    Really enjoyed watching this whole thing unfold on Twitter. What a great community of people that support one another.

    And I just read an interview with Suze in Parade magazine yesterday. First question: You started out as a waitress. What did you learn from that? Suze’s answer: I learned to treat people with honesty and gentleness.
    She’s come a long way, baby! I know we all say dumb things we regret later…and she gets to do it on a large scale. I don’t envy her, and now I don’t really respect her much, either.

    Oh yeah. I mean, we all slip up and make mistakes, but man – to do it on that kind of scale? Bleh. Maybe she was having a really bad day or something, she had to have been.

    What I think is oddest about her mission to have everyone have a FICO score, and a great one is if you’re that unable to manage your finances that you can’t handle a regular checking account and/or CC, HOW can this card help you? Having a good FICO score with the inablity to handle credit so that you can get a car loan or house loan just makes me think that you would end up with a car repossesion and foreclosure on your house, and thereby ruining your credit for the future. I see no upside to this card, only a way for Suze Orman to make even more $$$$$.
    Sometimes once people get enough recognition they no longer do what they initially set out to do, and start just looking out for #1, this seems to be where Suze Orman is at.

    It’s def. an interesting move, that’s for sure. I don’t know enough to debate her one way or the other, but I do know that you can’t blast people online for everyone to see if you want to remain successful. It’s just a shame that she looks down on those who goes against her own thinking.
