MIAMI – President Barack Obama said Thursday he's amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he's cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.

"You would think they'd be saying thank you," he said.

At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, "Thank you!"

The fundraiser was one of two Obama held after a speech at Cape Canaveral on his administration's space policy. The other was hosted by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, a $30,400-per-couple fete that stirred some controversy in the traditionally Republican Cuban-American community.

Together, the events raised $2.5 million for the Democratic National Committee.

The guests paid $30,000 per couple for the privilege of donning knee pads for their hero.

It’s no wonder neither he or they get it.

The rich pay most of the taxes. When has Obama thanked them?

Meanwhile, Loony Jerry Moon Beam is all over Sarah Palin for asking for "bendable straws". Commies really piss me off.

Say thank you for what? Making a bad situation worse? How about up yours instead.

Whistling past the graveyard, hey Obama?

I wonder how dismissive he’ll be November 3rd?

I’m betting he turns bitter and even more nasty.

Here’s what we don’t get......IF A DEM SAYS IT, IT MUST BE THE TRUTH! If he says he cut taxes, despite the very high percentage of people who have had their taxes increase, we have to believe him, we have to believe him, we have to believe him..........
