      It's just awesome, that in what amounts to just several sentences of speech, the President makes more sense and projects more sincerity (and more true concern for the American People), than was found in the too many hours and perhaps a million words, that made up all that Fox teabag bullchit...

      It's great.

      The pundits are going to lash out at Obama for even daring to bring up the tea parties, if the outcry hasn't started already.  Hannity, O'Reilly, and Beck will be up in arms that the President dares calling them "teabag wavers".

        At least he didn't call 'em "Teabaggers", showing once again that he's a better man than I am.

      Since the reich-wingers had their teabag waving day, the Dems won a special election in New York, the courts rules Franken (D-MN) the winner, and the Dems gained a defector.

      Memo to the reich-wing:  Stop Whining.

      Won't be long before Faux News starts to say "shouldn't the President be worried about the economy than focusing on us...blah blah" Which is typical amongst cowards like them when someone fights back.
