In Missouri at his 100 day mark the President said:
"Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.” “But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."
A few thoughts here:
1. I thought the White House was unconcerned about these Tea parties as he and his press machines attempted to marginalize them while they were going on. Now his feeling are hurt because not everyone loves him. What a wimp.
2. When is that "serious conversation" going to happen? Since he views the tea bag people with such condescending disstain, it's unlikely this conversation will ever happen.
3. To be such a highly edcuated person, he's really stupid if he believes people are not upset over the size of the Recovery Act. He's the one playing the games for trying to divert the focus from the central issue of the size of government.
4. Speaking of Social Security, exactly how is Obama going to solve that little issue? He's been silent on that topic.
