At his 100th-day town hall meeting in St. Louis, Mo., President Obama took direct aim at the anti-tax “tea party” demonstrations that have cropped up over the last month – and took a veiled shot at FOX News Channel, at the cable news network closely associated with the protests.
Asked about fiscal discipline and entitlements reform, Obama seemed to be repressing a smile as he jabbed critics of his spending plans.
"Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.”
“But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."
It’s the president’s most direct response so far to the protests that flared up in some locations around tax day, on April 15.
In his briefing that day, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters: “I don't know if there's a specific response to protests..I think you saw the president today talk about as candidate Obama promising to bring a tax cut to 95 percent of working families in America, and as president delivering that tax cut.”
SEND MORE TEABAGS FOLKS!! We are getting to him...LOL!!
King George III ignored the Americans and their protests, too.
He is a racist militant anti american pig... pigs can’t swim -—get it ....... His disgusting RACIST wife is cow ... they don’t swim either..

Well, I don’t want to get banned! ;0)
If seconds were dollars.........
1,000,000 seconds = 11.57 DAYS.
1,000,000,000,000 seconds = 31,710 YEARS.
This is the debt Oboma has burdened the tax slaves with, times 2, yet he's bragging about giving us a weekly happy meal. He, for some reason, thinks we should be thrilled about this.
this is the group that foots the bill
Be very interesting to see the ratings for the various networks tonight, since Fox, ironically enough, will be showing the latest episode of “Lie to Me” during El Presidente’s speech.
Poor Barack. Can’t help giving power to “bitter clingers.”
Goes to show that all this will do is make the tea party movement GROW!
Obama will never consider himself President of all Americans he is President of the left wing lunatics, the welfare parasites, the socialists, and America haters.
Hopefully without his Teleprompter...
Exactly.
It’s really kind of funny when you think about it. But then you have to remember he’s the president and it’s down right sickening behavior. Anyone else would be laughed out of town for acting in such a childish manner. This is not the behavior of a confident man. It is definitely getting to him.
I never jest, and don't call me "Shirley".
I did the math and I calculated that the tax rates (except for the lowest one) will go up not what they were before the Bush tax cuts but where they were before the Reagan tax cuts. These insanely high tax rates will totally destroy the economy.
He will NEVER fill those shoes. I have even more disdain for him (if that's possible) after the stunt he pulled at Ground Zero.
Can you even imagine what a car designed by a bureaucrat would look like?
They'd probably call in Ralphie Nadir to head the design team; it'd be so safe it'd weigh 14,000 lbs and get 8 mpg...
