According to a report in The New York Post, President Barack Obama allegedly responded to a letter he received from a Texas school teacher who was concerned about the negative impact the Affordable Care Act may have on the president’s political position by referring to conservative Americans as “tea baggers.”
“This bill has caused such a divisive, derisive and toxic environment,” wrote Thomas Ritter, a fifth-grade teacher at Sally B. Elliott Elementary in Irving, Texas. “The reality is that any citizen that disagrees with your administration is targeted and ridiculed.”
Ritter added that he was afraid to write the president in the first place because he believed he could face “retribution.”
“I watched you make fun of tea baggers and your press secretary make fun of Ms. [Sarah] Palin which was especially beneath the dignity of the White House,” Ritter closed. “Do the right thing not the political thing. Suggest a bill that Americans can support.”
The president replied to Ritter on official White House stationary by saying that he appreciated his “concern about the toxic political environment right now.
“I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been ‘targeted and ridiculed’ or that I have ‘made fun’ of tea baggers,” the president replied, echoing Ritter’s use of the derogatory term applied to conservatives who identify with the tea party.

TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.
Funny how they project their sexual proclivities that they endorse onto others they disagree with as an insult...
If anyone knows what a tea-bagger REALLY is it would be...
That’s sexist!
Oh, OK. You can use these bad words as long as you’re one of them yourself.
Did Ritter use the term in writing to BO? Was he quoting him?
Its one thing for homo news reader Anderson Cooper to spew the phrase since he regularly has someone’s ball sack on his face but it seems undignified for the President, even this one, to use it.
My thought exactly. He’s definitely got a feminine side.
I thought we were all Bitter Clingers.
LMAO... Made me spit out my lunch.
We must remember that the term “Tea Bagger” was lifted right out of homosexuals’ vocabulary, so it’s only appropriate that Obama would use the term.
My nephew went to that school last year I think
Obama is a homosexual that really does “tea bag” that is why it is so easy for him, Anderson Cooper and other fags to use that derogatory and disgusting method of referring to TEA (Taxed Enough Already) supporters.
Interestingly the new Call of Duty Ghosts video game forces players in order to get achievements- to “tea bag” fallen opponents.
I’m not making that up.
Sounds like something the little faggot would say.
It would appear that he did, to wit: “I watched you make fun of tea baggers and your press secretary make fun of Ms. [Sarah] Palin which was especially beneath the dignity of the White House,” Ritter closed.
I don't know that I can hold it against Hussein for echoing a term used in the original letter from the teacher.
Oh crap, now you tell me. I just bought that one for my grandson's Christmas present.
Here we have the president of the United States writing a personal letter to launch a vicious attack against an American citizen and all of us who are members of the Tea Party.
At the very least this is slander.
Maybe even an impeachable offense.
