Somebody just commented on Obama's LIVE FB page to shut the front door too many tea baggers...

They announced he is now speaking at 1:30

At this point, he’d be better off just saying, “It’s not my fault” rather than actually naming the person whose fault it is.

Ah yes, the ‘blame the Tea Party’ speech. I can’t wait for it; it’s all just ugly partisan bickering and Obama is above it all. It’s rather like blaming the Poles for WWII, but that won’t stop the Anointed One. As usual, not a word from the GOP, who will have allowed Axelfraud, John Skerry, and now Hussein to frame the problem as the Tea Party downgrade.

First, Barry would need to admit it to himself. No chance of that.

“I wonder if the Teleprompter in chief will use the MoveOn.org talking points blaming the Tea Party or George Bush.”

Don’t forget that the “attacking the messenger” strategy is still on the table too: S & P can’t do math, boy genius TurboTax Timmy disagrees with S & P, etc.

That’s OK, I much rather watch Megyn Kelly and her new hairdo.

If he resigns, the market would jump 500 points in a matter of minutes.

I’d almost rather have Biden at this point, that’s how bad the Kenyan is.

How can 0bama blame the tea party when all they have been saying for the past 2 years is stop the spending!!! The tea party was right!!! Unless 0bama comes on the air and says the tea party is 100% correct whatever else he says is a lie.
