Obama: Tea Party features 'core group' against him

Why ? There is no reason to go and hear people who want their country back but they do not know who took it or where it was taken.
It is a cabal of people who just spit out slogans!!! Listen to any one of them who gets interviewed and they do not know why they are really there. The spout out terms such as Socialist but they do not know what that means.

I'm not a woman. Or are we talking bout the rallies? Then no. I'm not an idiot.

Joking aside, it doesn't matter how Obama addresses these loons. Their concerns as about as legitimate as all the other bull**** the Republican party complains about. At least with Republicans you have something you can oppose because they have some sort of plan. Weak as it maybe. The Tea Party has absolutely no plan for this country other than:

Obama is bad, taxes are bad, socialism is bad blah - blah - blah - Sarah Palin & Ron Paul.

They're the 60s movement of the 21st century. Only they're irrelevant and have nothing to really complain about other than a Kenyan citizenship.

I think you are mistaken. You should join them and see for yourself. The term racist makes no sense to me. Isn't it the human race?

I am sure there are some redneck and some lunitics too, but they are not all bad people. There are bad people in every group, yea even our government lol

So the Tea People are true patriots who object to government spending and deficits? So where were they during the Republican administration when all this spending was legislated without being paid for, and the deficit was sent through the roof? Why do they only become outraged now when a black, Democratic president is doing his best to bring down the deficit and correct the excesses of the Bush administration? It seems extremely hypocritical to assign honorable intentions to these people when they were silent during the worst period of government irresponsibility.

Absolutely. If you want to look at these peoples true motivations and intentions....you need look no further than that.
 
He is right about half of that statement. The socialist tag is most often used with those at the very least, fellow travelers of the Tea Party movement.

However, I do not think the tea party's core constituency questions his citizenship status. I do not think the majority of the American public question it.

Statistics disagree with you. (edit: . Some absurdly high percentage of people identifying themselves as conservative/republican question his citizenship)

Aside from the idea that because it is a populist movement, and populist movements are not necessarily the most informed movements, what social scientific proof do we have that suggests the movement as a whole questions whether or not the President of the United States is a native-born?

Uh oh. Even the liberals most hated source, Conservapedia references the Tea Parties upset at Bush:
Americans across the country gathered in 50 cities to protest the newly-passed Stimulus Bill of 2009.[23] Over 30,000 people made it to this event.[24] Many at the event were upset over the economic stimulus packages and bailouts for Wall Street pushed through by both President Bush and President Obama's administrations.[25][21]

Looks like this liberal spin fell hard, fast... :spin:

You didn't have to look for long. It was the start of the movement. The only reason why people do not believe it is because people have incredibly short memories and can't think of what it was like to live five minutes ago.

The issue with the Tea Party movement was that it turned into a broad coalition, and with the more steam that it picked up, the less outrage towards Republicans happened.

I know... it's truly a sad thing to comprehend, but people really do forget very quickly. Politicians will use heavy marketing tactics and deceitful advertising to spin off the fact that most people forget corruption from the past very quickly. And a lot of the time, for the politicians, it works... :doh

Your "link" doesn't even come close to the spin you are trying to put on this. In fact, quite the opposite. It further establishes that these teabaggers sat on their asses while Bush did the very same things that they are upset with Obama about. Nice try....but EPIC fail.

The funny part about it is Bush was only 1/3rd of the problem. The rest of Congress who was with Bush over the last 8 years got off easy, and they are still running wild in DC.

I haven't insulted anybody, and any group has a Constitutional right to protest what they feel are inequities in the government. But to pretend now that rightwing activists protested the excesses of the Bush administration, that they marched against the unaccounted spending, the war in Iraq which was paid for without being included in the budget, is simply an attempt to rewrite history.

Of course you do like Obama makes up things as his guide book Rules for Radicals says to do Liberals play follow Der Fuhrer.

Obama knows that the majority of Tea Party Members are tired of his Socialist/Marxist anti-American agenda and he has to do what he can to give his blind empty headed worshipers something to think about so they don't have time to think for themselves and keep them from joining the Tea Party Movement.

But there is little chance of that because most are radicals that have no sense of and can't see they are helping Obama destroy the economy on the way to a failed 3rd world Country.

Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.
