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."

“I overheard an older black women telling a black man, “Looks like OUR black president will only be there one term, and we won’t ever have another one.”
Don’t care, don’t care, DON’T CARE, what color the POTUS is—just give us someone who advocates individual rights, property rights, and free markets.
At this point, I would vote for a space alien if I knew it was truly pro-American. I kid you not.
I will tell you something else. I will vote Democrat before I vote for RINO’s. If it ends up a Romney/Palin ticket I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA! Again, I kid you not.
I’d rather face a communist than take ANOTHER knife in the back from a ANOTHER RINO.
I’ll thank him for kissing my a$$...
That’s about it...

I’d have been delighted to pay more taxes last year, if it meant that my taxable income hadn’t been cut in HALF after months of un- and under-employment.
I could not agree with you more that he is scared and is hoping things will go his way in November. I pray we can get as many Republicans voted into Congress and the Senate this November.
We also have to be alert to voter fraud and Acorn thuggery.
0bambi... you’re an idiot.
Obama doesn't think he is arrogant:
United States president Barack Obama says he and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd share several personality traits - one of which is humility.
What’s really frightening is how he and his posse are OPENLY fostering a ‘them’ against ‘us’ mentality in the country.
Also, team Obama was on message with their astroturf opposition. The hired anti-tea-party protestors mimicked their leader - “95% of Americans disagree with the Tea Party goers.” Team Obama successfully orchestrated the media yesterday to cover their talking points. 1. Obama as benevolent leader - allowing us to keep our money and 2. Tea Party people are a small minority and crazy.
Team Obama plans to continue marching over our freedoms and dismantling our constitution. Pray for the safety and strength of our leaders who try to stop them. And also, stay as focused on our goals as they are on theirs. They will try to change the subject and redirect the conversation. We need to stay on message and stay as ‘cool’ as the Obamaites. Do not allow them to change the subject.
actually... it’s more like 78%
310m in the country
140m file
bottom 50% of filiers pay < 3%... let’s say 0%
that means 70m people pay ALL the taxes
70m / 310m == 22%. pay for it all
That makes even more sense. I agree with you.
He's only humble when it comes to foreign dictators, kings, emperors, and the mayor of Tampa:
What Tax Cuts?
Just imagine if Bush had ever said such a thing!
You know the Marxists are concerned when they become laughingly disdainful of their opponents. They tried smearing Tea Partiers and could’t get traction. Now they go into disdain mode. When this doesn’t work they will assume their last line of defense. They will do the Hitler’s Reichstag thing. They’ll manufacture an incident so egregious that they can use it try and outlaw the Tea Party movement.
Lets hope.
It’s above his pay grade.
