Maybe he just doesn't know that there are people who disagree with his massive tax and spend agenda. That would explain a lot. Perhaps the network media's near silence on the "tea party" phenomenon has kept President Obama from realizing that hundreds of tax day protests will happen today?
"The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties and will hold his own event today," ABC's Dan Harris said on "Good Morning America" on April 15.
Harris's story was the first ABC News report specifically about the tea parties since Rick Santelli's of CNBC's famous rant calling for a Chicago Tea Party back in February.
CNBC's Joe Kernen referred to Santelli's impact on spurring the tea parties as a "cultural phenomenon."

Obama is this out of touch?! Not much of a leader if he doesn’t know what is happening.
Obama needs to be ridiculed more.
The president in the cluless plastic bubble.
Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised. That Obama dude is still looking for his desk.
Yes!
Of course I’m sure Obama will be quite aware when the ten million Mexicans march in a few weeks.
If he doesn’t see them, he doesn’t have to comment on them.
“Is this a revolt?”
“No, monsieur, it is a revolution.”
In my little town we had at least 1,000+ folks who came out.
Man you must have one hell of a BS meter. Mine pegged out and exploded around the end of January. My next one will be an industrial diesel powered monster. Might survive the next couple of months.
You may be on to the next great idea...A national call the WH day. Split up the alphabet so that A-E calls between 9-11am and so forth and so on. If everyone who attended a tea party called as well a few thousand more, I dare say we could get Zero’s attention as well as some job openings at the WH switchboard.
Unaware Hell! Perhaps denial but unaware is not believable.
I have them by the crate, and they can be repaired but calibration is questionable because of the intensity of the signal.
It seems that they were working hard to discredit something that they claim they know nothing about. ;o)
It would appear their position is---
"When we find out about it we are going to be mad!"
He has nothing between those big ears, Michelle uses them as handles.
Liberals always misunderestimate average Americans. This is just going to make us more determined.
He must be in Rev. Wrong’s church, didn’t hear a thing.
conservative estimate 250,000 but realistic estimate is probalbly more like 500,000
now the politicians have a formula for accounting for support. For every ONE active person who goes out to protest, there are TEN who did not go who agree with them. This is diluted when you start to deal with professional protest groups like unions or radical gr0ups like illegal alien groups.
regardless we now have a viable movement, PROVIDED WE US THIS POWER TO TAKE OVER THE RNC.
It must be getting pretty hot in the White House kitchen, cuz Obbie is winging it to Mexico to bad mouth Americanos. Poor guy has to let off steam somehow.
