President Barack Obama says he's amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.Obama told a fundraiser in Miami on Thursday that he's cut taxes, contrary toYes, just keep on laughing and being amused Obama.claims of protesters.
He says he's been a little amused over the past couple of days when people at the rallies complained about taxes.
Quoting the president: "You would think they'd be saying thank you." (AP)
There were a few liberal plants at some of the Tea Parties, but their efforts were pathetic and no one bought the lies they were pushing. Some pictures and video here.
Dan Riehl says:
He honestly thinks he can still control the narrative the way he did during the campaign. Instapundit is posting reports from around the country. I've seen reports on Twitter of 25,000 in DC, 10,000 plus in Madison and Barry is amused. Keep laughing right through to November, bud. We'll see who's laughing then.Actually, Obama Attempts to Alter the Terms of his Broken Tax Pledge:
President Barack Obama is now attempting to alter the terms of his central campaign promise – a pledge that families making less than $250,000 per year will not see “any form of tax increase.”
Obama now claims his pledge only applied to income taxes, as evidenced by thisexcerpt from his most recent weekly radio address:
“And one thing we have not done is raise income taxes on families making less than $250,000. That’s another promise we’ve kept.”
Obama broke his “any form of tax increase” pledge when he signed the healthcare bill, which contained seven tax hikes that unquestionably hit some families making less than $250,000 per year.
This is not the first time the White House has attempted to dodge the “any form of tax increase” pledge. (continue at the Colossus of Rhodey)
The Tea Party is grown by leaps and bounds in one year, just think what it can do in
another few months,... Just think how big and how influential it will be by November 2012! I'm not sure who created the Tea Party Barbie image, I got this one from Optoons, NRO has it too. I just love it! Bird Dog at Maggie's Farm says:
Note the cheerful and friendly demeanor, the unabashed patriotism, the good grooming, and the absence of a Che t-shirt: she is the New Wholesome Cool - and the Vanguard of the Revolution!
From punchline to powerhouse: the 'tea party' at one year.
The 'tea party' movement still has much to prove. Populist movements often fizzle. But it has reinvigorated the Republican Party and constitutional ideals in an era of fading federalism.
Once mostly the butt of late-night jokes, the movement has gained often grudging respect from media and even Democratic lawmakers as it has become a cultural counterweight to Washington's zag to the left under a Democratic president and Democratic Congress – all while giving Republicans, at least for the moment, a spring in their step..Let's make sure the RINO Republicans step in the right direction and move on down, move on down the road....
Amen!
Right Truth
Counterterrorism, politics, religion, .
Note: The infiltration has been quite humorous and is backfiring - guess Obama will have to bring out the "big guns" and have the "new" and "improved" Acorn organization, under new names, to begin playing hard ball with members of Tea Party groups. .... November is not that far away and then, America will be heard at the voting booths throughout this nation! And after November, we can ask Obama, "Who's Crying Now? .... (video, below) Bee Sting
rgayo — February 24, 2010 — "Who's Crying Now" is a song recorded by the American rock band Journey. It was written by Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry. It was released in 1981 as the first single from Escape and became the album's second most successful single, reaching #4 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.
The song is highlighted by Steve Perry's smooth, soulful lyrics, piano playing by Jonathan Cain which interludes with a bass riff by Ross Valory, and acoustic guitars. There are no electric guitars until the end of the song, when Neal Schon plays a repeating guitar solo. Originally, according to Schon on In the Studio with Redbeard (which devoted an entire episode to the making of Escape), he recorded an aggressive guitar solo which he liked but Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain didn't like... then he recorded a half-hearted solo, and Cain and Perry loved it. Additionally, drum playing by Steve Smith is only found in the choruses and towards the end of the song.
