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.

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

I sometimes wonder if he is pushing for the political winds to shift in an ugly direction, just so he can stand with them.....

Love you Texans:)

As arrogant is it is, this is actually good news.

It means that they look at Sarah Palin, and they see an ignorant white hick.

They are underestimating her, like they underestimate all of us.

It’s their Achilles heel, and by the time they wake up to what’s happening, it will be too late.

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

It only serves to piss people off. I never owned a slave so I won't apologize for any of it. The only slaves in this country right now are taxpayers and none of them were ever slave owners.

I won’t apologize either! I’ve gotten to the point it doesn’t even tick me off anymore. I’m like, ho-hum, you think I’m a racist....I don’t give a rats rear!

And you’re right, We The People are the slaves. I’ve had enough!

They only talk to each other, they don’t know how ignorant they really are.

I pray you are correct. I just hope the damage in his wake is not too great.

“IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA”, who fathered children all over the place and never hung around to raise them! Damn, what a role model!

It has never ticked me off. I don't claim responsibility for something I have never done. I only do for those things I have done. False guilt and boogymen are how those in power stay there.

“I only do for those things I have done.”

This is b/c you are a good person. Dums won’t accept responsibility for their poor choices and actions. Unless, their Hero, oblablah (lower case intended) is claiming credit for deathcare which is actually a bad thing. On the other hand they will claim credit for something good that they had nothing to do with. What can I say? They’re mental!

You know, the way Obama is chumping the Tea Party, I am reminded of the scene in Rocky when Apollo Creed is dissin' Balboa - and his flunky is watching Rocky punch out sides of beef on the TV:

"Apollo, you oughta come see this boy you're gonna fight on TV -- looks like he means business ..."

I’ll be amused when he is escorted out of the White House in handcuffs.

A major problem with his book is that he did not write it. Ayers did.

2nd problem is that what is in it is all lies. All Commies Lie! No one would buy their prescription for subjection unless they resorted to deception.

Even though Obama couldn’t be more obviously anti-American, I have no confidence that he’ll be voted out in 2012. He has a charlatan’s charisma, and that’s all it takes to win these days. America’s collective B.S. detector stopped working some time ago.
