Obama Mocks Tea Party Movement… Says He’s Amused by the Tea Party Rallies
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4-15-10 | Jim Hoft

Barack Obama told fellow democrats today that he’s “amused by the tea party protests.”

The Hill reported:

President Barack Obama struck a hyperpartisan note Thursday, telling Democrats that he was “amused” by the Tax Day Tea Party rallies.

Obama, addressing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser in Miami, did little to endear himself to the Tea Party groups protesting around the country, saying “they should be saying thank you” because of the tax cuts he has signed into law.

The president went as far as to say that this week’s special election in Florida, which was won by Democrat Ted Deutch, was portrayed by Republicans as “a referendum on healthcare, a referendum on the stimulus.”

“And you know what, it was,” Obama said to applause.

Obama continued to dare Republicans to run on a platform of repealing healthcare reform, telling the audience “they won’t be very successful.”

Despite the president’s confidence, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine told the crowd that they should assume that Democrats are “running into a headwind” in the November midterms.

“You should rub their nose in it. They gave us this nightmare. You and I are paying for this lack of judgement and I will never forgive an Obama voter.”

When I see someone with an obama sticker on their car I can’t help but feel contempt for them. They need to be shamed and made to realize that what is happening to this country is their fault.

Obama is as amused with tea-parties as tea-partiers are amused by Obama!

"I’m sure that you are completely right. He probably would like to say “Uncle Hugo” akin to what his leftist idol and Communist-sympathizer called Stalin."

I never thought I would live to see this even though I did see it coming. Here it is I guess. We are not beat yet but it doesn't look good.

For the hard core followers I don't think that is possible. But those expressing regret for what they did can kiss my butt for what they did to you and me.

You and me both. All day today I kept telling people the same thing at our tea party. I took a vacation day to go, and felt like a broken record. My parents escaped from Stalin only to end up here, now I feel that I need to take them to safety again. Except there’s nowhere to go.

White people better wake up and realize that Obama hates them. I mean really hates them, and wants to punish them.

It isn't over yet. Carter got the boot after one term. My worry is Obama will screw things up so much recovery will take generations to correct it. I wanted to retire in six or seven years but the little turd may screw that up. But we shouldn't forget Nancy And Harry Et. Al. They are every bit as guilty. Maybe even more so.

If America only had had sense enough to read his books!

In a sane world, having the following comments out in print via his books would have knocked him out of the running. (they would have crucified a white candidate for far less)

From Dreams from My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams from my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART." Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams from My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote,.. BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams From My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams From My Father’, 'I VOWED THAT I WOULD NEVER EMULATE WHITE MEN and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER'S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I'D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUDHT IN MYSELF, THE ATTRIBUTES OF Martin and MALCOLM, DuBois and Mandela.”

From The Audicity of Hope: TO AVOID BEING MISTAKEN FOR A SELLOUT, I CHOSE MY FRIENDS CAREFULLY. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. THE MARXIST PROFESSORS and structural feminists.”

From The Audicity of Hope: (After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss:) “There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

From The Audacity of Hope:..'the white race...“that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”

From “Dreams”: (after making his first visit to Kenya, he wrote of being disappointed to learn that his paternal grandfather had been a servant to rich whites. that the revelation caused) “ugly words to flash across my mind. Uncle Tom. Collaborator. House n-----".

From The Audacity of Hope: “We are no longer just a Christian nation... We are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of disbelievers"

From 'Audacity': “Her memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones....For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up closed-mindedness in the garb of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness.”

From Audacity: “Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force

Then there is his love of Islam:

From Dreams From My Father: "THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM".

From ‘Dreams From my Father’, "IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL" "..I STUDIED THE KORAN.."

From ‘Audacity of Hope: "LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM...."I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE".

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, "I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.." .

Eyes wide open, Clock King. He makes it more obvious with each passing day. Funny how the media proclaimed him to be the post racial president.

I don’t think the lefties realize the race card just doesn’t work anymore.
