Americans reject Tea Party ideas - Obama AFP September 13, 2011 1:22AM
PRESIDENT Barack Obama says the "vast majority" of Americans reject the ideas of the archconservative Tea Party movement.
"We've always had a anti-federal government bent in a chunk of our population. That's nothing new," Obama has told NBC News, referring to the anti-federal nature of the Tea Party, whose fervour swept in dozens of new Republican House of Representatives members in the 2010 mid-term elections.
Many of Obama's probable opponents in the next White House election, in 2012, also subscribe to that outlook, with frontrunner Texas Governor Rick Perry repeatedly vowing to get the national government out of people's lives.
"I do think that the extreme position that you hear that says government has no role to play in growing our economy, that the federal government has no function to play in building a strong middle class, is absolutely wrong," Obama said.
"I reject that view. And I think the vast majority of Americans reject that view."

No, Prince Barry, the fact of the matter is that America rejects your ideas.
Welcome to the ash heap of history.

“I reject that view. And I think the vast majority of Americans reject that view.”<<<<<<<<<< Buahahahahahahahahaa! He needs to just go.Begone! Americans need to be free to grow small businesses and the construction business. Obama wants to destroy them along with Americans entrepreneurial strength. Obama must destroy America's entrepreneurs in order to convert our country into a socialist Utopia.American exceptionalism stands in his way. We will destroy Obama in the 2012 elections...and he sees it coming. Yes tremble dear Barack, your days are numbered.

“I do think that the extreme position that you hear that says government has no role to play in growing our economy, that the federal government has no function to play in building a strong middle class, is absolutely wrong,” Obama said.
“I reject that view. And I think the vast majority of Americans reject that view.”
Thomas Sowell nailed it in his comments about the speech.
Obama set up a “Straw man” argument to represent the beliefs of the Tea party, that the federal government had no role to play. That’s a fallacious contention since the Tea Party rank and file believe the Federal government is good for certain things.
Those are described in the Constitution.
How many thousands of lies and fallacious arguments does this make?

If you call yourself a conservative and haven’t developed a total disgust for all things FedGov by now, then I doubt you really are a conservative.

18 months ago the Tea Party was the laughing stock of every MSM outlet and the dem. party(I know, redundant).
Now they’re soiling their pants to discredit it.

Just remember. Obama didn't overthrow Washington and make himself king. He was elected by our friends and neighbors. The very same sick minds who will vote once again in November of 2012. The Stupid Nation has not gone away.

Obama shows you no respect, so don't give him any.
Respect is earned, and he has done nothing to deserve yours, mine or any other American who loves this country.
Obama hates half the people in this Country, and he fools the other half. Ignorance is Obama’s Copilot.
Obama is a spiteful little prick, it's his nature.
