True.
But at least those dopes knew a *little* about him, like his name, his wife, kids and that he sorta 'worked' (gave an occasional lecture) at the University of Chicago. But what he's *asking* now is one big, 'Trust Me'.
The last politician who came up with something like that was one who promised to get rid of all crime if the people would just 'trust his plan'. Well, they bought his plan and it did get rid of all crime, just as he promised.
Along with Six Million Jews.
The "Tea Party" is not a political party. It has no headquarters, no leader, no phone number, no unique web site. It is made up of citizens, not politicians, and they come from all walks of life. The Tea Party has no elected representatives, no campaign funds, no lobbyists.
Obama's claim that somehow, these people are "blocking" America's economic recovery is not only specious, it is a damnable lie. Tea Party members agree on a few basic things: that our government has grown too large, spends too much of our money, and exerts too much power over our lives.
Who is spending trillions of dollars we do not have, demonizing and/or taking over businesses, aching to "fundamentally transform" America, and mortgaging our children's inheritance for unearned benefits paid in exchange for votes? It sure as Hell is not us.
Excellent analogy.
Hopefully this reply will post just once :)
