In 2009, Barack Obama reportedly called members of the Tea Party "teabaggers."
It turns out that our fourth greatest president, /s, (first in so many things), may have been the first "teabagger" himself, as seen in the 1997 photograph above.
Yes, that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand.
And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its "Don't Tread On Me" slogan.
You may want to let all of this sink in a bit, especially if you're a Tea Party-bashing progressive.
