Obama Mocks Tea Party Movement… Says He's Amused by the Tea Party Rallies

Barack Obama told fellow democrats today that he’s “amused by the tea party protests.” The Hill reported:

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.”

Despite the president’s confidence, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine told the crowd that they should assume that Democrats are “running into a headwind” in the November midterms.

I mock his poor job performance and the idiots who support him.

What do you think Obama meant when he told Joe the Plumber he was going to redistribute the wealth? While this particular story is ‘old’ news, what is missing is how the narcissistic personality disorder ‘I am’ has gone viral. Romney certainly had no opposition to wealth redistribution. And look who Bonehead fired off the committees recently.

This nation has hit the dark ages of a conservative lifestyle .... a Constitutional Republic.

I disagree completely. We were winning against Obama until our own side pulled the rug out from under us. His approval ratings were in the toilet from the time the Tea Party formed in 2009 until fall 2011 when the Congressional leadership on our side mismanaged the stupid debt limit deal. They stopped selling our ideas and started getting mired in process. Obama’s recovery began at that moment, and peaked back at exactly 50% at election time.

We have to distinguish between conservatives and Republicans when discussing these matters, because the two are quite different. We had to capitulate to Boehnner, McConnell and later Romney as the spokespersons for our party for the past 18 months, and in the process, we have lost a lot. Our bigger challenge is overcoming our entrenched DC powers. Obama is a couple years from pure lame duck.

Saw Dennis Miller on tv recently, and he said that this is the first time in his 59 years that he ever felt he had a president of the United States who didn’t like him. This is proof.

zero actually probably hates most of us.

Sounds very Hitler-esque. In doing so, 0bama mocks The Bill of Rights.

Nobody cares what Obama thinks he’s a loser.

Why post an article from 2010?

Because 0bama and his cabal of violent communist revolutionaries still believe this and have never changed.

Holder was part of the Panthers then and is now. They wanted armed rebellion then so that they could ‘take over,’ and they want it now. And now, Holder Is trying to continue the American winter, without the gunrunning here, unless it is to arm those who are its supporters—by it, I mean 0bama.

Exactly, the GOP is the enemy of conservatives everywhere.
Make no mistake about that, just watch Boehner’s progressive meanderings to remind you.

I used to post replies on forums that had topics over 5 years old. Then I grew up.

I see they deleted my post #7. Obama is a fascist. And like all of those out of history, he too will come to no good end, now that he is on the irretrievable way to creating the Obama Reich.

People fall for Obama because they are afraid.Fear is what leveled Japan, Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, into fascism.Obama has cranked up the fear whick every chance he has had. Just watch Obama’s tender mercies administered to a bruised and frightened nation. America will get no comfort from the Obama fascist reptile, and hopefully will learn not to take him too seriously at all. He will try to destroy America, but we will rid ourselves of him one way or another and restore our nation.
