ABC Reports Obama is 'Unaware of Tea Parties'

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."

So right! Yesterday’s efforts cannot go silent. Our protest must be felt. We need our government officials to know we care about America—the one that should be.

He has nothing between those big ears, Michelle uses them as handles.

That's where she stores the manure for her vegetable garden!

He didn’t bow and he is unaware of the TPs. That’s their lie and they’re stickin’ to it.

“Louis XVI wrote in his diary “rien”(nothing)on July 14, 1789 the day the Bastille was stormed. Obama shows equal arrogant oblivion to the events happening in the rest of the country.”

You know, I was just thinking the same thing. History will record that Michelle Obama was having her eyebrows resculpted as the mob broke in and killed the Portuguese Water Dog. It was only then that the president and first lady realized that there was true dissention to their master plan to destroy America.

Million Tax Payer March on Washington. Come with horns and drums. Pitchforks optional. Come on July 4th and let him know we are in town and Mad as H*ll. Let us do what MLK did and show what we feel. Bring a petition too—with Millions of Signatures. No violence. Bring a flag for the new Greater Texas as a threat to session. We should demand no Pork, no more Tax bailouts.

Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman.

And it's only a coincidence that the DHS threat analysis on "right-wing extremists" came out the day before the tea parties happened.

“Well, maybe the next one should be in front of the White House.”

-Inside the fence. Let’s see them try to stop 200,000 individuals from storming the compound. Let’s see them open fire on the taxpayers.

Interesting, because if someone had asked President Bush if he were ‘unaware’ of demonstrations against him during the Iraq War, they would have excoriated him as ‘out of touch’. President Bush knew about them, he just didn’t pay any attention to them.

That’s right. You heard it right. B. Hussein Obama hasn’t

heard about the tea parties because he’s too busy down in

Mexico undoubtedly bad mouthing the US like he did in Europe

and negotiating the sale of Texas to Mexico before we can

formally secede.

Obama is unawares of most things — TOTUS is the genius in the Obama Administration.

“If he is not aware of something of this magnitude, he is not fit for public office.”

Exactly. I’m shocked he would even admit this.

This makes him look even more out of touch with the people he’s exploiting to further his own agenda.

From Websters.com

Brain: the portion of the vertebrate central nervous system enclosed in the skull and continuous with the spinal cord through the foramen magnum that is composed of neurons and supporting and nutritive structures (as glia) and that integrates sensory information from inside and outside the body in controlling autonomic function (as heartbeat and respiration), in coordinating and directing correlated motor responses, and in the process of learning

May I add this update definition:

an organ that liberals (esp. Obuma) lack

The guy just keeps giving and giving.

I hope some political cartoonist (FOX type, preferably) would come up with a good cartoon showing the O without a clue, while the people amass throughout the country.

How about one of FR great cartoonists? Any ideas?
