Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.
The pot is calling the kettle ….
In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year … That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”
Tea Party activists loath the term “tea baggers,” which has emerged in liberal media outlets and elsewhere as a method of mocking the activists and their concerns.
On Saturday, the president delivered a commencement address at the University of Michigan where he said one way “to keep our democracy healthy is to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate … But we can’t expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down.”

Obama is a habitual liar. Obama is a communist/socialist/marxist dictator, and will be taken down like any other dictator. By hook or by crook. He is inviting that action through his asinine policies, and the "czars" or "enforcers" that he has hired to do his dirty work, because he hasn't the intelligence nor guts to do it himself. The "Czars" will go with him. They will all self destruct. The people of this country are now wise to his attempts to take our liberties and overthrow the constitution. It ain't going to happen, and you can take that to your failing bailed out banks.
At the recent White House Correspondent's Association dinner Obama was bleeped while reading his teleprompter jokes. This had to be a first, yet no furor. A Class Act trying to amuse a Class Audience. In reality, a meeting of conniving, lying conceited asses chortling and cavorting with their partner in deceit. A celebration of evil triumph…..so far.
oh really! Is he really that much of an idiot! The tea party was created because of his idiotic, one sided, liberal only, shove it down our throats agenda. If you are against obama, then his political machine attacks you calling you a nazi. That is all they have. call you names. Ha, he now wants me to Maintain civility in our public debate when all the Democrats did for 8 years was call Bush a liar and revolt everything he said or did. No way democrats. you started it and now you can't take the same punishment.
The tea partiers are interested in no more spending. cut the budgets big assed spenders!!! All you politicians suck. You all think we are stupid. Not one of you jerks should ever have a pension or guaranteed health insurance for life. That is bullshit. it breeds criminals like all of you politicians. You have a big enough salary that you can put away 10% of your own money into a 401K or something similar. Why does the American people have to pay from their taxes. You don't give me a pension. plus, your pension is unreasonably rich. why don't you treat yourself like you treat most people in their 401K's such as anti discriminatory amounts in the 401K. Health insurance for life, bullshit!!! YOU ARE A PUBLICE SERVENT. You SERVE than go back to your successful business you had before politics. GET OFF OUR PAYROLL!!!!
Sad to say but I think that once they walk down the halls of congress … they remain on the payroll. I keep wondering who is going to tell us what the accumlative payroll deficient is today … and it never gets smaller … it snowballs … no wonder our deficient is so high … we pay every congressperson for LIFE.
Obama is correct on his reflection of the "Tea Baggers". They are a sorry lot of people, and make up a great percent of the leadership in the two major parties. This would include people like Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermann. They are some of the people who are Tea Baggers. If Obama wants to make fun of the Tea Party, then he should use the correct term, as I know of no Tea Baggers in the Tea Party. I had imagined the homosexual in the White House knew the difference, guess not. Wait until Michelle finds out what he does in his idle time; then again, maybe she does.
…she probably watches. This bunch is filth of the lowest degree. That's why they were selected to do the dirty work of destroying this country for those who can't tolerate anything such as a growing population of those who INTENTIONALLY DO WELL for themselves!
Doesn't anyone recall the you tube account of him being in the back seat of a limo snorting coke and getting blow-jobs from some guy? It was around for quite a while, but no one said a freaking thing. It was just "blown-off"…like everything else this jerk has done that is off the scale of decency.

This man & his people, the liberal press, have been successful, it seems, in destroying the reputation of a good, honest man, (GW Bush)….and HE has the nerve to talk about INCIVILITY ???…..We hope that history will show the truth about, their, disgraceful tactics. Wake up Americans!!!
If there is any 'positive' in this man's presidency it is that I believe Americans across this great land of ours who cherish our country have awakened!
We will no longer innocently live our lives without considering those elected officials who are abusing their power. We realize that if America is to survive for future generations, we canNOT sit idly by (or 'fiddle as Rome burns') and let those who have ulterior motives destroy what our forefathers fought and died for – LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I, too, pray that those who foolishly bought the false 'hope and change' message will see the light and vote for candidates who more accurately reflect their values. We MUST bring honor and decency back to our government. I see so few in Congress or the administration who I consider 'statesmen' – and that is a sad commentary on today's America!
Blames Bush and now has to go about blaming free thinking and independent Americans (the tea party). I suppose we are supposed to roll over and play dead like a good socialist citizen. Gags!
Oh – Blame – Anyone – Meddling – Against me= Obama. Poor pathetic leader of the National Socialist Party. Please wipe the tears out of our eyes so that we might see clearly. These comments by the Commander in Cheese shows he needs plenty of wine to go with his dropped lip, so can everyone please start whining with him. Oh sheesh, shed some tears it might make you feel better too. Not! Therefore I propose a new term, as they so imply toward us, which will make the typical sucker upper of such childish slosh feel very much better; to wit that term is "Obama Baggers". This is just too cool and I don't want to stop there so how about "Obama Birthers". Here is the dictionary term for Obama Birthers: One who is brain washed into believing Obama is a naturally born US citizen and therefore qualified to be The President of the United States. Even if he was a natural born US citizen he certainly is a very bad choice.
What can we expect from a man who is a liar, a possible wife cheater and who is probably not even a citizens of our great country? Somehow he sneaked under the radar – with the help of other Democrats probably – our country is going to hell in a handbag because of Barrack Hussein Obama.
RIGHT ON SWAMPRAT !!
Actually a Liar,con man,a racist? and a "DUAL CITIZEN OF 2 COUNTRIES?Kenya,and Indoniesa,and a Muslim.a 2 timer and a man on the downlow?according to Larry Sinclair?and Usurper of the office of president,which makes him a criminal? and there is no telling what hes really hiding in his other papers that he refuses to prove hes who he claims himself to be?
I couldn't agree more?
He didn't SNEAK in, he was SMUGGLED in, and those who are responsible are in evil glee about the wreckage that has resulted. There is no one "at the top" who gives a damn about any one of us, and they can't wait to destroy us so that THEY might have dominion over the entire planet. All they see the average person as, is someone to fetch and carry for them until they managed to exterminate the lot of us. They envision a RETURN to a more pristine time, when there was nothing to meet the eye but miles and miles of forest and plain. That means NO ONE LIVING THERE! This is REAL, NOT SCIFI!

IT IS TIME FOR SOME ONE " WITH BALLS " TO STAND UP AND TELL THE ILLEGAL IMPOSTER AND ALL THE KNOWING WHO LET THIS IMPOSTER PASS INTO THE UNWORTHY POSITION HE IS IN WHERE TO GO AND TAKE HIS IDEA-PLANS WITH HIM-LOCK UP FOR LIFE-AND ALL THE OTHERS AS WELL OR DO TO THEM LIKE SADDAM H.GOT.
This is the pot calling the Kettle Black, pardon the pun, no racism here. BO tears down anyone who does not agree with him, then cries uncooperative when things dont' go his godlike way. Let not one DARE to speak against policy, ideas, his healthcare bill, or his past history, especially his birth certificate. WHAT the heck is wrong with us? Where ever he came from send him back, take Pelosi and Reid with him. His is evil, racist, muslim and out to destroy America. WE are nearly there……….sexual connotation about the tea party, a patriotic conservative group who believes in freedom of religion including an old time religian called Christianity. Oh Don't get me started on this man. May Terry Lakin's court marshal bring out the truth in discovey…..let's be AMERICA AGAIN!

I don't believe there is anything that will come to light that will move this administration to put this clod out where he deserves to be…in jail! They ALL should be in jail, for aiding and abetting the destruction of a sovereign nation and it's people! THAT is the "support for life" this congress deserves, life in prison with a never ending supply of jumpsuits and the "3 squares" that the rest of the inmates get! Too harsh? If you could actually READ the true agenda that they have planned for us as well as the rest of the "peons" of the globe, you would change your mind in half a heart beat!
I'm not saying I like Obama and I am not saying I don't. Bottom line here is, he is a puppet of the rich elite and corporate agenda just as all the other presidents have been. The only ones who may have been immune to the puppet strings to a degree are both Bush's as they are part of the agenda along with oil and the power elite. The cards are stacked pretty high against us and congress (both Democrats and Republicans) hasn't had any guts (I wanted to say something else) since I can remember. Any positive bills that finally make it to legislation are so thick that no on has the time to read it and it includes so much crap that isn't even relevant or related to the original bill. I think the tea parties (ya gotta look at why these protests got the name in the first place) are a great opportunity for everyone to get involved. It's not a republican, democrat, independent, or libertarian thing, it's a PEOPLE and AMERICAN thing. This crap (if you do the research, you can prove it to yourself) since the inception of the America and the constitution. I believe what little we have of the constitution is still worth fighting for. However, if you take into account that the American Revolution never accomplished what it was suppose to have; you understand that American and the constitution were based on lies perpetrated by the power elite of the time. The United States is a corporation owned by the Word Bank which is owned by the Corporation of London, which is owned by the Rothschild's. In other words, The United States of America, it's government, and it's people are still economically beholden to England. I worked for the IRS for sixteen years, I know people who were higher ups and people who know folks in the Fed, and I know many who have done the pain staking research to prove all of this. I'm not saying we're beaten here yet but I'm not sure ending the Federal Reserve would accomplish anything positive as the monster has grown too big. I mean let's face it, there isn't enough precious metal to back the trillions of worthless pieces of paper (money created out of thin air) in the money supply as it is. Yet the Fed keeps creating money into the trillions and throwing at the economy as if it's going to resolve something. Anything good happening now is a false positive. The fractional reserve system of money creation and lending is destined to collapse bottom line. You can't have debt attached to the dollar from it's inception and expect to one day get out of debt. In fact, it's a recipe for perpetual debt. We are all slaves to the dollar and the economy, except for the elite rich bastards that created the whole scam. People are waking up and I don't want to see anarchy or revolution but it just may come down to that. These are trying, arduous, sad times we are living in. Our government provides everything to us and they can one day (if they so desire) take it all away. I pray every day that this won't happen and that congress sprouts a pair and does the right thing so they can bring some truth to the lies that have been perpetrated on the American people. I am disgusted with our government
I will say STRAIGHT UP that I don't like OBAMA! He doesn't stand for ANYTHING that is good for the American people OR the nation! There is nothing TO like about him, and I want him and his trashy baggage out of our white house.
As for everything else you said, yeah, that is true. But the problem now is that most people, even those who are FOR the Tea Parties, and maybe know some history as to the WHY of the name, don't actually have the intestinal fortitude to carry out anything other than walking a path with olive branches. Everyone keeps trying for a KUM-BAY-YA type ending with all's well! It aint gonna happen! Since a real VOICE doesn't get any attention or result from this govt, I can't see that anything short of an actual physical revolution will get any change, but this guy is just DYING to invoke martial law. That will be the final knell. He has been PREPARING for this. This is not just an accident that all this has come down the pike, it was carefully orchestrated before they stuck this Tar Baby in there. And before anyone gets excited, READ UNCLE REMUS and Br'er Rabbit! I am sure there are still copies around somewhere! We aren't just dealing with an accident here, this has been in the planning for a good long time, and we are getting hit with it now. Faster than we can work to stop one thing, five more destructive actions are put in place. The only thing that will stop it all will be to take them all out. All. Of. Them. THEY get to decide how they live off money that they take from us, and THEY are entitled to care for their entire lives for NO DAMN GOOD REASON, but WE – from whom they DEMAND that support – are only entitled to what we gain by the sweat of our brow, that we can keep them from prying out of our hands before we can even eat! I hate this administration and all the evil it has nurtured! We need a new group, we need American PATRIOTS in the American govt! The rest of them all need to be in jail! GITMO comes to mind as a likely place, or somewhere in ICELAND!

This man has no class – and the entire world is watching and observing and LAUGHING at his infantile semantics! He belongs on an elementary school playground…not in the Oval Office. Too bad he believes saying dirty/naughty words is befitting the stature of the presidency!
Mr. President, respect is earned – and so far, with utterances such as these Saturday night, will not bring you much from anyone other than your fellow progressives who are hellbent on destroying America!
May the American electorate awaken and discontinue the terms of those who feel entitled to a lifetime in Congress.
It is time to set TERM LIMITS with NO lifetime benefits for EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON – Congress/Administration/Saff/Government Agencies. YOUR future income is NOT the responsibility of the average taxpayers who are trying desperately to keep their heads above water in their own lives! Start saving for your own retirement – what the heck, you earn more than most in the private sector do anyway…so WHY should we be responsible to pay for your retirement?????
It is time to shut off the spigot!
"Elementary School Ground"! My EXACT observations since Barry Soetero came on the scene. He reminds me of one of those arrogant kids we all went to school with who actually believes we are convinced that he is as clever as he pretends to be. I'm actually embarrassed for him and his cronies…little boys and girls trying to play grown-up. My prayer is that God-fearing Americans will realize the danger we are in and humble themselves and pray and get off their indifferent rear-ends, educate themselves on historical facts and VOTE to end this madness before it's too late.
He doesn't belong on any grade school playground, this miscreant belongs in jail. He is a fraud, and he is working to destroy a sovereign nation, and apparently is getting the job done royally. I am not sure what it would take to get this sob out of there, along with all his little evil helpers – the Clintons, Rahm-baby, Nasty Pen…whatever her name is, ol' boy Reid, and so many of the rest – but it needs to happen SOON! The peaceful demonstrations of the Tea Party might not be giving a reason to bring in martial law – which he is DYING to do, you know – but it isn't getting rid of this hunk of garbage either! My fear is that blood is soon to flow either way – OURS!

he's not worth the attention bad or good-it only feeds his ego. He couldn't take it if we all were indifferent towards him. He might even go so far as to interrupt our TV programming for something important for a change.
Life is a stage with fools strutting around full of sound and fury signifying nothing. I am sorry I paraphrase but the comments of most of the idiots above don't deserve me looking up the the actual quote.
